Fox Body Coupe Conversion

[willimo]

Very cool conversion, very ambitious project. I can't wait to see it come down, if anyone can do it well, you can.

The problem with AFX is when will you get the body waited over 6 mths for stuff.

Ah good, I'm sort of happy you're tackling this before I try it

I probably have at least one customer who'd be interested in the resin body if you produce it Russ.

And btw, it was All-American Models (I think they were called?) that made a resin body of it. I believe they're out of business.

on the 87 T-Bird. I would need the whole body, as I basically need the back glass and the molding around it. How much are they asking at your LHS, I am going on a trek through the D/FW metroplex today to see If I can find one. Let me know the cost, if it isn't sky high, and you've got pay pal, maybe we can work something out

I got the turbocoupe kit ordered today. I should have broke down and ordered it online a day or two ago, that way it would already be in the mail. Right now it probably wont ship until next tuesday. I should have it, hopefully by the end of next week

Is the thunderbird you're looking for the one at walmart?

[white97ex]

that would be the one. I ordered it from modelexpress and got confirmation that it shipped today...or was supposed to. that and some of the new pegasus drag slicks

here are some shots with the GT molding removed. I have yet to start on the front fascia. I got a little work done on the rocker panel area yesterday, I might have pics up later today

[rsxse240]

just don't forget to lower the sides back down with some sheet plastic. looking good!

[white97ex]

that is already in the process, just no pics as of yet, I've got ample reference, and plenty of people who will go take pictures of everything I need

I'm curious, this is a 1:24 kit right? What's the size like compared to their 99 - 04 Mustang. A guy in my city took one of these and put the front end of the 99 - 04 style mustang on. It looks prettty good, and I was wanting to do it in scale.

This is a verry neat project. Looks like you're doing an excelent job so far. I can't wait to see how it turns out! Keep it coming.

I've got the 99 cobra body, I'll get a pic of them side by side for you and post it up

[white97ex]

it looks like it would be a pretty straight forward conversion. They seem to be of the same width, and the rear of the front fenders appear to have the same shape! would love to see it done. It seems like it would look a little odd, simply because the newer style seems more rounded that the fox's...I need to pick up another '99 kit, as the one I am working on is going to be a drag car. I want to create all of the parts for the 03/04 cobra conversion. Also here are some pics of the rocker panel area on the coupe. notice that the front part of the GT body kit is molded into the fender. So I will have to take care of that.

Looks like it just might work! Thanks for your help! Looks like I have two kits to pick up. It would seem like a strange thing to do, but it actually looks really good. The guy I was talking about had it in black primer with some verry nice wheels. The first time I saw it I was like "What the...", Then after getting a good look at it I thought it looked great!

Looking forward to more on your conversion. Once again thanks for the pics.

[white97ex]

not a problem, always glad to help. If you can get a picture or two of that car I would love to see it
