Just built this kit, such a beautiful kit!!!

[@2tallsmodelcargarage]

I've built this kit twice already. One cool thing is that if you buy two at a time you can make the drag version have all four disc brakes.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Good to know.

[@eliverstonadams4]

So much fun.

[@robertjutson4640]

Damn, now I’m going to have to get another Mustang kit.

Cool!!!! Just COOL!!!👍🇨🇦👍.

Thanks

Still haven't pulled the trigger on that kit. I will now. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

You should!

[@deenjoan9938]

Sad to say I don't have this kit Good to say I guess I need this now Iol thanks for the look Luka 😄

Last I knew. It is still being produced.

[@tonylantzer390]

Love me a fox body Mustang! That's a really nice kit to put together. Awesome video and thanks for sharing! 😎👍👍

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@JABzHobbies]

I know it's a bit of a drive, but come down to Tucson Dragway. We'd love to have you down here. I have a 91 Lx 5.0 5 speed myself. It's a hatch as well. I wish Revell would make an Lx hatch model. Cool build.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

I plan to one day. I just need to do a couple more things to mine. To where I will trust it for a road trip. I have wanted to check out that facility for years. I agree. I want an LX Hatch. That is why I'm making one. If it turns out good. It will become a resin body I will produce.

[@scottborkowski2411]

Ive built 2 of these the first was done in white with black out head and tail lights as well as black wheels and black center on the hood, took hood scoop from an 88 gt amt kit and narrowed it. Glued it to the top of the 92 hood and made the car look like my 93 mustang. The second kit I built as a drag car, custom mixed an dark orange color to spray it will and did the black out head and tail lights, high rise intake and an air cleaner made from a popsicle stick. so yes its converted to be a single 4 barrel engine. Its a very good kit with good fitment on the parts. enjoyed building both kits.

[@richiesspeedshop82]

I just replied to your Facebook post with a picture of mine that I'm building right now. I'm doing a street car with wheels from a 99 svt cobra and the cowl induction hood that the kit came with. It's such a cool kit. This is my second one I'm putting together.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Oh Cool. I'll go take a look. Thanks for posting it on there.

[@buildzmodz3871]

I used to own a 91 foxbody lx was nasty for my 16 year old self haha all black, shift kit, posi kit, pillar gauge set cowl hood fat tires in the back MSD ignition and short headers to straight side pipes. Loved it and miss it

[@seanh2390]

Agree 100% that this is a cool - and underrated - kit! Also like that it comes with parts to build a stock version too.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Yes

[@KBCC_Garage]

Well dang it LC! Now I have to dig out my fox kit again…🙄 Just playing! Great video! I seriously look at this kit every time I go to my hobby room. Now my brain is activated by this video. 😎👍🏾

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

That's why I do these videos. 😁

[@KBCC_Garage]

@@TheLukaCeeChannel Well, by all means sir, continue…continue…😎👍🏾

[@garryrenfro2326]

I enjoy your channel; the info, the tips, and the humor. This is one of my favorite kits, for that reasons you point out, and because it also contains the stock front suspension, stock hood, and those “small” racing slicks. The slicks scale out just a wee bit smaller than the maximum size NHRA allows for stock class cars, 9” x 30”. Stock class cars require stock spec suspensions and hoods. With just a little bit of research and detailing it is easy to represent a legal stocker. Adding your larger rear tires and the racing front suspension gets one on the path to NHRA Super Stock, SS/GT, or many other possible configurations. As you noted, Revell did their homework and provided drag enthusiasts a wonderful kit.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Yes, I used to race under NHRA rules in a few classes in the past. I've mentioned that I have a few of my old NHRA and NASCAR rule books in reach at my desk. Keep an eye out on my UnPodcast shows. I may have a guest that was up close and personal with the car Revel researched for that kit. How cool is that?

[@jeremeybrown9716]

I was really hoping that Revell would have followed that up with a 1/25 GT Hatchback. (my favorite style).

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

You and me both

[@alancyr3100]

Now I got to get another one of those kits because you showed that Turbo Coupe! Giving me some ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

I create problems, don't I. 🤭

[@alancyr3100]

Good ones.

[@Bubbasmodelcarshop]

thank you for putting out a video on this kit. i am going to start on mine today thanks for sharing .

[@ScaleModelCarBuilder]

I have 3 and need 3 more to build all the ideas I have for this kit. Very cool, nice review on the kit as well.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Cool, thanks

[@grb351]

I love Foxbody Mustangs, I had two of them. I had an 83 GL 5.0 5spd. notch, yes it was called a GL not LX back then. I also had an 86 GT, the first fuel injected year. I have about 6 of these kits. I agree it's a great kit.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

My very good friend. Dave Bell. Look back in my videos. I did one on his models and workroom. Anyways. He has a BEAUTIFUL 86 GT Convertible.

[@playanddisplay3636]

I think you nailed the optical illusion of this kit's roofline. Perhaps the window trim across the top is too pronounced also. Both give the Chrysler 300C appearance in the roof.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Yep. But I just saw an example of this kit done right in those areas. On my Facebook group. That look well proportioned with proper painting of the trim.

[@johndean2110]

That is what I am building.😁

[@MTrefry2]

One of my favorite kit I've done, I did mine a street/strip build. Half cage, full interior, and stretched the stock rear tires over the drag wheels.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Very nice!

[@sergenowacki4244]

I just bought one in december with other foxbody kit !! With my 4 kits , I want to built my real Fox GT 1990 convertible 25 th anniversary !

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Very Cool!

[@davidhinkson8856]

I built this one only recently as the stock version. The paint didn't come out too well because of humidity etc so I finished it as a beater. I found that I had to cut the chassis at the back because it was too long to fit properly under the body. But to my mind it should ideally have a different dash and steering wheel for the drag version.

[@chucktaylor2772]

It's really a nice kit, built 3 already. It could use a nicer induction system and headers. But that's just me.... just need to dig through my box o bits for the solution

[@kenmorris2858]

Great review of this Fox Mustang.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Thank you.

[@ToddHLHG]

I used to have a couple 90 5.0 Mustangs....The last one was run in the Fun Ford Weekend street renagade class in the early 90's It had a Vortech supercharger on it....Fun car...Great video my friend.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Right on! Thanks

[@mitchbarber3468]

U may want to look a a rule book from nhra about what may be required as safety items, like longer studs are required, plus manufactures making after market wheels which ones sell 4 lug or 5 lug

[@mitchbarber3468]

Look at the u tube drag and drive events, they have a class for running the narrow slicks, build your car with street tires and a trailer with slicks and tools.

[@oldschoolmodeler]

I've been needing to get this kit for awhile now. Just haven't gotten it yet.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Love it! Just as I'm starting mine, Luka Cee shows his. I love this kit and I also used to own a Camaro, but my cousin had a green LX 5.0 with a Procharger (I think) and kit was FAST! I'm swapping a few things and the idea of putting a NOS bottle in it.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Oh, that sounds cool. Back in the 80s. I was all about the 3rd Gen Camaros and Firebirds. To me. The Mustangs were just LAME. But then in 87. Ford dropped the redesigned "Aero" look on them with the performance hop ups out of the box. They caught my attention. Especially when these cars were blowing my Trash Am away. I had always wanted one from that day, forward.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

@TheLukaCeeChannel See, now I'm thinking about the frame extenders. Doubt that I'll do anything on this build about the tire situation, but next time...

[@michaelcooke2559]

Those are really nice models. They have so much potential, and the extra parts are great. Nice video. You really need to get that one built. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Yes I do

[@BiteMeHarder333]

1st! That is a really cool kit and I agree with you, Revell tires are sort of lame. Great kits but the tires are sorta weak. Thanks again!

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Yep, that is for sure.

[@mitchbarber3468]

U creating a hatch back was a mercury capri with a much larger back glass than what a hatch back mustang would have

[@dougmulle2627]

I've had a number of the real Fox bodies but they were all the hatchback, so I never bought this kit. I enjoyed hearing the perspective from someone who has a race ready one and now I see I gotta get a couple. I never understood why there weren't more kits of these, because they were the Chevelle of the 80s-90s

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Yes, You've got to get one.

[@TheBenchModeling]

I have built 2 of theese so far, great kits, I want to get another one to kitbash with the amt 88 gt, to make a gt convertible out of the notch kit, then make an lx hatchback out of the other

[@frankmilavec3063]

Ok! You convinced me! I gotta go get one! Great video!

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Thanks

[@JimFlanagan4206]

I have the police version of this kit. I was really disappointed that they molded the light bar lenses in red transparent plastic. The instructions say they are clear. Had to use a different light bar from the AMT Ford Taurus kit.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

I got that kit when it first came out. I got ride of it when this version came out. So I don't remember the color of the light bar. But I thought it was red and blue.

[@SmallADVentures1973]

I have the LX kit (stock or police), I need to puck one of those up 😁 (I noticed hobby lobby had em last week, I'll wait until they're 40 off again I think 🤔🤪). Yours is looking great, brother 😀✌️

[@geraldsmith3633]

I had a 1987 fox body 4 cylinder turbo once upon a time, I would like to see you finish it.

[@daviddanglis7135]

Your video prompted me to take out some of my Fox body Mustang kits and examine the Revell body. I've always felt there was something not quite right but couldn't put my finger on it. I think your assessment is correct -- the line on the top of the door ("beltline" is the industry term) is a little too high. I wonder if removing the inner window trim would improve the overall look. I thought I'd compare the Revell body with an MPC '79 and wow, what a difference -- MPC's beltline is MUCH lower, and I wonder if it's too low! The roof seems awfully high on that kit. Maybe looking at MPC's for so many years tainted our impressions of the Revell body. But comparing kit with kit isn't really the best way to do this -- gotta use a real car for reference.

[@garyparker2969]

OMG Now I've Gotta Get 2 o These 🙄🙄 It's ALL YOUR FAULT LC ‼️‼️ GOD BLESS YOU 🤗🤗 .

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

I can accept that

[@brianlewis6926]

Very cool kit, I had to get one then hobby lobby raised the price on them, but I was at a nother hobby lobby and found one that had the old price so had to get another one. But what are those 2 little bumps in the corner of the package tray? Looked on internet but couldn't find a good picture of it ,is it something that has to be there or can I remove them and it still be factory

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

I'm not sure. I think speakers

[@modelcar1589]

I got to get me a mustang Fox body.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Yes. Highly recommend it

[@thebadguy1977]

Luka C new modeler wondering what you meant by "white glue" do u put ur kit together with Elmer's and then take apart when you paint n build up again? I asked another channel but they just made fun of me wo answering..just want to build better models..

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Any kind of white glue like Elmer's Glue All is a great glue to mock up your model to see how things test fit before you paint and final assembly with your actual preferred permanent glue of choice. I am sorry that you were laughed at. There are so many great modelers that have you tube channels that will never laugh at you when you ask them a question. So just forget about that guys. He probably won't be around much longer. We do this to help out our fellow car modelers. Not make fun of them. Gee whiz. Some of these people. Right?😆 Best of luck with your building and HAVE FUN!!

[@dustykidd1454]

How hard would it be to convert the deck area into the gt version

[@jasonrothgeb6071]

Did the Fox Bodies run 4 lug wheels for their entire 1979-1993 run? My mind is trying to trick me into thinking that they switched to 5 lugs for the last couple of years of the run. Were the 5 spoke Pony wheels 5 lug?

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

They were 4 lugs the entire "Foxbody" run. You will see a lot of 5 lugs on them today because it is probably the most common mod done to them.

[@loadedfun4764]

Was this car on the box of any significance? Just curious before I build it. I had only purchased it because I’m a fox guy. Just curious if it had a backstory.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Yes AND No. It is a very heavily airbrushed photo of the car that they used for the research for the kit. Only thing at this time I can tell you, is. The "Research" car looks nothing like the representation on the box. As in color and graphics. That was all made up by the Revell artists.

[@sunniepulvers6]

Im not sure if i like this kit or you just burned it into my mind talking about it so much i just know now that i gotta have one right away . Now when are you going to show more dave bell models and show more of your old builds brother.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

😆

[@davidcyrus3581]

If you have the real car measure it and the model and see where the design is flawed and correct it. If it bothers you that bad. You have the know how.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

What are you talking about? I stated in the video. That is DOESN'T bother me. 🤦

[@haworthlowell805]

It's a shame when the same old farts tgat complain about the noise of racing six months later are complaining to the city council about what are they going to do all the street racing. Kund of like the HOA president complaining about the hog farm they built next to while eating a ham sandwich.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Yep, I agree. But surprisingly that, that was not what took out all of the race tracks in the Phoenix area's. It was either the decisions or the actions of the track owners. None of our tracks got noise complaints and council meetings on closing them. Very sad.

[@haworthlowell805]

@@TheLukaCeeChannel I know; sadly real estate's more important for a wearhouse or to set idol than for a racetrack anymore. Hopefully in this country, for a lot of things, times will change back to common sense, we can always hope & pray. Oh, the video you did on the '62 Nova wagon & '66 Pro Street Nova combo. Thanks, got both kits and will be starting on it soon. Love old school NHRA stock/super stock drag cars. This on though will be an F/MP car when it's finished.
