Thanks guys. Since this car is going to be black, the car has to be super straight. If you think about it, all you are looking at when you look at a black car is the prep quality, not the color. The ONLY way to make a perfectly straight black that I have have found is to NOT use urethane primer...

Quarters almost done. D822 primer is SOOO nice! Goes on so thick but flashes in 5 minutes at 75 degrees. Ready to sand in 1 hour. BEST Epoxy primer I've found to date. Pricey but eliminates the need for 2K urethane or putty since this stuff will fill 36 grit sand scratches. Block sanding with...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Started the side window Gutter delete project early this morning. Cut out the old gutters, migged the edges and then overlayed sheetmetal over the top for a nice flat surface to mount modern rubber. The control system will automatically lower the window 1/2" when...

UPDATE: Tamco developed a special batch of Epoxy primer. (at no cost including shipping, thanks Bob) Although I havent shot it yet, I was warned they were not able to duplicate PPGs D822. D822 tacks at around 10 minutes at 70 degrees. So you dont have to wait 30 minutes between coats. It also...

It would be great to have a 427 but since I own the 351HO and it would cost me ZERO to install it in the cobra, thats pretty much why not.

Well , Got the answer.. https://www.factoryfive.com/kits/mk4-roadster/complete-kit/ Yep, after the KigerStang is done, the complete R code HO drivetrain is going into a Cobra kit car! Looks like Ill need to join another forum. :P

Just realized I didnt answer your question.. WHY KigerStang? Wikipedia definition: Kiger Mustangs, as a rule, are agile and intelligent, with the stamina and surefootedness seen in many feral horse breeds. Bold and with lots of "heart and bottom" (a term for courage and determination) but...

Thanks Jayson, Yes this Resto Mod is called Kiger stang. Ill be laser engraving the name into the carbon fiber stripes showing black through the carbon. Also will have name laser engraved into the back of the rear tail lenses so there will be a small halo of "KIGER Stang" diagonally in each...

Eaton just came out with their new 35 spline TrueTrack! The most innovative differential on the market today.... Yep, one please. http://www.stangtv.com/features/sema-coverage/sema-2012-eaton-introduces-detroit-truetrac-for-ford-9-inch/

I just didnt trust my math so I decided to mock up the rear axle with 3"PVC and simulate the wheels and tires with styrofoam. Looks like Im spot on. Axle needs to be 51" spindle to spindle and ride height puts the axle 3" from the frame rails. Wheels are 20X12 with -.44 offset. 14" tires clear...

Thanks, I wish I had some of these guys talents in other areas like 3D modeling.

Yep, you can say that about all the brands. I was talking to my buddy Mike Colleta about this very thing this morning. There are Dupont Guys, PPG guys, Galsurit guys, Sikkens guys, Sherwin Williams guys, Kirker Guys, SPI guys, TAMCO guys. They are all willing to go to bat for their paint. Some...

Had a 72 q code in High school. It was black on black with hurst 4 speed. Special order in 72.

Obsidian71. That is so cool! I sent you a PM a while back from the Bender forum. My KigerStang project is a black 72 Mach1. Chrome bumpers and chrome mesh woven stripes (vinyl inset into clear coat). I really want to render the dash since its very custom and I need to figure out what pieces need...

Whats involved with this Forza4 to make a model like this? I know this is a game for XBOX360. I have one of those for my GKs ;) Yes Im too old to be playing video car games.. I would rather build the real thing. I would love to model my KigerStang but dont have a clue how to do it. Im...

You are correct but since I live in Florida, the temperature isnt that big an issue. DP40 is NOT the same as D822. D822 was explained to me by Tamcos owner Bob Barney. According to him, its the clay they use that makes it so sandable. The Resin is high quality made by Kukdo. Bob knows A LOT...

New fenders, inner and outer. New wheel tubs 16" wide X 34" diameter. Ready for sound deadening material. This resto mod will eventually get P34530X20 tires. 14" X wide by 28.9" in diameter. Same ones used on the 2012 Ferrari. Tubs go 7.5" deep from edge of fender. This is the look Im going...

I love the red stripe! I like the silver outlining the contour of the NASA scoop better than going straight to the end of the hood.

All Im saying Scott is TRY PPG D822. You will NEVER go back to Epoxy and then covering over with 2K. Its more money, more time and doesnt look as good over the long run. D822 ELIMINATES the need for a 2K primer.... Its a true EPOXY, sands better than 2K, It fills better 2K, it doesnt shrink at...

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c1-and-c2-corvettes/3066027-gel-coat.html Mike Colletta, a very good friend and the best painter I know turned me onto PPG D822. Read his thread on the subject. "I use PPG Global D822/823. It's a 3:1 mix. It is VERY high build as a surfacer. Then 3:1:1/2 for...
