1988 Ford Mustang (Snot Rocket) my 1:1 replica project

[drpndstroy]

While work on my AMT Model T project is going well it has been eating me alive thinking about getting started on my 1:1 Fox Mustang LX with most of my inspiration coming from Frankenstang. I won't waste any time with fluff or reason right this second.

The three kits I'll be bashing together to get my coupe done

since quarter windows seem to be the biggest problem areas for most resin bodies i simply went outside and blueprinted my quarter windows

sketched out on some styrene sheet

Got any pics of Frankenstang so we know what you're shooting for?

doesn't look like much but I'm taking every precaution to make sure this thing is perfect, so only one quarter window in progress but it's darn good progress in my eyes

Thats pretty awesome. I've started to really fancy the Fox chassis in recent months. I'll be following this closely.

A word of warning.

The reason that many people have problems with the quarter windows, is that the quarter windows on the cobra are "off" themselves. Look at where the bottom of the left side is as compared to the right side. They are off 1mm right from the start.

WOW i didn't even notice that lol. so what is the answer for that? do i lower that mm difference on the bottom of the window or just try to hide it in my fabrication stage?

what did you do to compensate on frankenstang there abelle?

I removed everything but the front and replaced the rest.
