THIS KIT WHEN I GOT IT, WAS STARTED, SO I JUST TOOK IT APART AND RESTARTED IT,
FIRST I STRAITEN THE CHASSIE AND PAINTED IT WITH THE COLORS JACK ROUSH USED
IN HIS IMSA GTO STANGS BACK THEN. THE BOBY IS READY FOR PRIMER BUT THE
RAINS DOWN HERE IN FLORIDA DON'T WANT TO STOP. SOON THE HOT SUMMER WILL
BE HERE WITH SLIDE CHANCE OF HURACAIINES.,.
I hope this helps...I scratch built the intercooler using the plastic from a CD case.
I also mod the turbo, sanded out the filter and added the piece of metal tubing
for a more realistic look, also using juicy juice straus, I made the air ducts for the brakes.
plus plug wires.
I Have made a few of this kits and what I do to make sure the platform is flat and strait.
with a bow dryer , i heat it up while it seats in a flat surface and it tents to align with the
surface.....after that you can built it up just fine.
I am building the Folgers/Motorcraft as we speak and
this one got my attention,...WOW, WOW and Wow
It looks great, very agressive LOOK, the details
make it pop out. Great Job Bro, it gave me more
a shot of motivation to finish mine.
This was the first kit I got back in 76 and haved buildt it many times but end up giving them as gifts.
enjoy this one very much, looks great and is true all you said about the kit, lots of work to make it look desent
but it is worth all the time,...great piece of drag history and one of my all time favorites.
Thanks, yeah I was one of the people that put my name back then, but lost hope that it ever was going to happen.
I just send him my new address just in case. It has become like the HOLLY GRAIL with this thing.
I am sure a bunch Ford Fans want to get the fairmont...COME ON BRO
Where did you get it....It's going to look sick. and love what you did to the 79.
let us know and thanks
I have this kit also in my stash, but untill I am ready to build it with a motor
I am not goint to take it out. I was planing on getting a strait 4 toyota motor with a turbo set up
from the part store but they are in the process of moving, and make the rest of the chassie from
scratch. Thanks for keeping the group 5 fans happy here.
