wow that looks great. I can't sew at all. I don't like how the back panel has the strange shapes on the bottom of it, it made it a PITA to do the false floor.

Could anyone tell me what the best or preferred choice of gluing the mdf rings to the mounting post is? Thanks

Clear this up alittlle the point where the post/supports are glued to the fiberglass. I've seen diff types of stuff being used. I need it strong enough to hold while I put the fleece on. Thanks

I would think that a healthy amount of super glue, liquid nails, or silicone would do the trick. I know it doesn't have to hold very long because the resin should dry pretty fast from what I have seen with fiberglassing the water reservoir on our RV

Ok thanks I have plenty of superglue types around for my rc stuff just didn't think it would work. Thank you. The shape of the lower panel was a nuisance.

just subed your build log, I hope to see more soon

are you planning on getting a H/O alt at all?

Hey wats up. Yea I had some set backs but back on it a day or two. It's driving me crazy being so close to the end and unable to do anything. I actually will be putting one in later down the road or see if I can rebuild it with more output. Like the way yours turning out. Finally got the stuff to do the headliner and paint for the interior plastic. Did you know that the dome light is out of a Mazda in my escort. I've been looking for a replacement one for it when I mentioned it to my upholstery supplier/teacher. He looked at it then told me it's a Mazda part. I did research(I can do that sometimes lol) on this and found out some of the parts for our fords are interchangeable with Ford: escorts(duh),focus,topaz three different Nissan's and 4 Mazda's. That makes some parts hard to find when you are looking for ford only lol.

[Crandis16]

Well good luck, I know how it feels having to sit back and wait for something. Is that so? That's good to know at least. I wouldn't think that a foreign car and ford would be interchangable

[dog24fret]

Yea waiting for stuff and getting old lol. I would never guess on the other cars either. I have been looking for the dome and veryous clips. Which where from get this Mazda 626,Protege and connecter from a MX-5 Miata. Am I driving a ford or a Mazda lol.

a lot of cars are very deceiving. like the escort and the mercury tracer are the same thing lol

any news on the van?

[dog24fret]

Yea some of the body parts are the same part #'s. Oh yea I forgot about pics of the van their is a teaser pic of it next to the escort on page one third pic down. I got to get some more down on the escort then I'll start the van. I did't post on your build yet but like the way your box looks.

I posted vids too, I found a song that slams more than the ones in the videos, but I haven't had time to take a vid (I live in a very populated area :/)

I see it creepin' in the background can't wait to see the build for that come up
