Danno Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 All 4 of my current Fox Chassis' have Gray primer with a heavy dose of body color overspray. The 88 Coupe I started into the FOX world with was the same way, and the 85 Coupe I just picked up is also Gray with body colored overspray. FYI-- I'm going with your info. Most of them I've seen are gray and the red oxide unit is the only one I've seen that way. Thanks for confirming.
freakshow12 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I must agree. All I have had have had grey primer. My 95 gt and 97 cobra had a more olive green tint to the primer and my 03 Mach is a darker grey.
Erik Smith Posted September 15, 2013 Author Posted September 15, 2013 Oh, look... After working 12 months of hours in the last 4 months, I managed to get some time this weekend to dust (and hair) off my models... interior is close to completion: More sanding and painting as we speak, or read...
Scalper Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Looking nice, interior look crisp. like the silver paint job
Maindrian Pace Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 That dash just sings. Looks and feels like I'm driving my '93 Cobra. I love the green LED display on the factory radio. -MJS

Devilsnake98 Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Ive done that same radio trick on my own 93 cobra kit, I just took a little standard green paint on the end of a sharp toothpick and carefully let the paint fill that void where the display is, worked everytime on tiny detail painting like this.
Erik Smith Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 Wheel and tire update: Yes, whitewalls! Engine construction seems to be going really slow: And a bunch of painted parts: There are many nice pieces on this kit. I have a lot of small stuff being painted tonight and should see some jumps in progress the next few days.
Erik Smith Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 I did find some sweet reference photos:
Erik Smith Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 Yeah I was trying to figure out how that was pulled off! I love it. Radio LCD was done with a coat of gunmetal paint and transparent Tamiya green. Thanks for input and looking!
KingSix Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I think the seats look ok. The grey gut in my 89 were not very dark I think the seats look awesome, great technique on them, whatever you did !
Erik Smith Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Engine, sans the upper intake parts to be installed at a later time: The engine goes together very well and has great engraving. The firing order? Yeah, the rubber boot takes care of that! There is no coil or coil cover included in the kit, so I am making the cover: This will install between the washer fluid and shock tower in the driver's side of the engine bay. Here is the emissions decal I'll need to make:
freakshow12 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Very nice work. I gotta say though that whitewalls were never available on the 5.0
Erik Smith Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Very nice work. I gotta say though that whitewalls were never available on the 5.0 I stopped by Les Schwab on the way home from the dealer
freakshow12 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Good enough for me! Keep up the great build
Reeves Racing Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Looks like Revell messed up on the drivers side head. The plug on the outside of the manifold should be in the very back not the front. Nice detail and weathering.
Erik Smith Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Looks like Revell messed up on the drivers side head. The plug on the outside of the manifold should be in the very back not the front. Nice detail and weathering. I'd blame the builder.
shucky Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Erik, your doing a spectacular job on this. Great reference photos in here also. Keep up the great work.
Ford guy Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Man Erik, you're doing a great job on this build! Can hardly wait to see it finished! Just picked up the kit, gonna try to replicate the '91 Coupe in my garage.
