Dr Cobra Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Haven't built a model in a lot of years, but I recently saw the kit and knew I had to try and replicate my 1:1 drag car, complete with a turbo SBF and an SFI 25.5 cage. Any comments or constructive criticism welcome.

W-409 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 This looks like an interesting project. I built a 7.50 second roll cage on the same kit by using the kit's original roll bar as a starting point. It wasn't that hard actually, it was pretty fun too. Your 1:1 car looks great so this will be interesting to follow. Where did you get those front tires from?

DISKODEE Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Looking forward to seeing the progress on this build.... The 1:1 is very nice.... Super clean setup! I drive/race a Fox body too so this is gone be a treat!

Dr Cobra Posted May 16, 2018 Author Posted May 16, 2018 On the cover of the newest Hot Rod, there is a LS with a set of Hammerhead's SBF Hemi heads on it.
Dr Cobra Posted July 4, 2018 Author Posted July 4, 2018 Finally got a chance to work a little on the Mustang, got some of the 25.5 cage finished

THORDOOR220 Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Looks like a nasty little car. I'll be looking forward to watching this build, I eventually want to build a replica of my turbo foxbody as well, this could be good inspiration for it.

Dr Cobra Posted September 29, 2018 Author Posted September 29, 2018 not much progress, mini tubs finished, 25.5 cage need to finish door bars. Too busy working on full size stuff. Sold motor out of 1.1 car, putting a turbo Coyote in it, so I have to start on a Coyote for the model too.
NYLIBUD Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 Looks really good.Im actually working on an LX Notchback kit too.I want to use a "big" tire for the car,so I'm working on a set of tubs.And then paint it.Hopefully it will come out better than my last try at this model.
El Caballo Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I had a '93 LX 5.0 5 speed notch, I miss it.
Deuces Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Mine's a '91 hatch LX with a Lightning 5.8L short block with T.F. heads and a roller cam....
