Build Thread Want To Blow 5 Years And $50k On A Foxbody? Step By Step Instructions Inside!

Looks like a pretty cool product Scott. She'll be happy when you give it to her and then stab you with it when you **** her off :D

Seriously, best of luck.

Hah! I wouldn't be surprised. Thanks man.

That magazine feature was much deserved .

The flowers as always are a straight work of art dude !

Thanks buddy!

No kidding. @RacEoHolic330 Did you ask them what took them so long?

I caused the initial delays after Mustang Week, so the car wasn't shot until October. After that, it was a matter of the article getting written. Mike dug up a ton of great info, so I can see why it took a bit to get it written.

Your car is a featured car in the Foxcast Media booth at Mustang Week this year. Very cool Scott.

Are you getting to drive it a little now? I assume you got the new gears in the rear end.

Hope things keep going well for you buddy.

Thanks a lot, Dave. I spent Saturday of Mustang Week last year in the TMI booth, and had a great time. It should be really fun this year with the booths being inside the convention center.

I unfortunately haven't touched the car in months. I need to change the TOB and do the gears, but I've just had so much else going on with business stuff that car hasn't been a priority. I also don't have any rear brakes on the car at the moment. R1 Concepts has been slow with turning around new rear caliper brackets. I'm dying to enjoy the car, but I don't know when that will actually happen again. :dammit:

So the new business is going well then?
 
So the new business is going well then?

I'd say it's definitely going well, relatively speaking. It's not paying the bills yet, but each month has more sales than the month before. It's at the point now where it can sustain itself from an expense perspective. I don't have to pump inany more of my personal money to buy materials or equipment. I do need to build a new powder coating spray room in my basement though. My current setup isn't ventilating well, and is covering everything in an array of colored dust.
 
If you've already got a dash mount I might have missed it but thought you might like something like this.
Just picked it up for my car to hold the 7" Holley dash

Guy has them CNC'd and then smoothed at a body shop. He's supposed to start on fox dashes next.

@tannerc91gt -- Can you send me contact or link to get dash setup for Holley? That is the cleanest I have seen.

Thanks,
Joe
 
I just read this thread from beginning to end over the span of a week on my breaks at work. This car is incredible. I just made an account purely for this comment. I'm curious though, did you delete your Instagram account? I found your car with you tagged a few times, but the account it took me to is for some spam stripper or something. Unless you've changed your profession....

Just wondering if you have made any progress lately. Like many have said already, this car is a perfect example of perfection. It has inspired me to make a few changes to my '89, and I've learned a whole lot reading this.

Thanks for the read.

Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words. But yes, as Colin mentioned, I did change my IG handle to @fivepointocd. My old user name is definitely some kind of questionable account!

I've been pretty terrible with updating this thread. There have been changes to the car and I've been doing some small tweaks here and there over the winter. I'm going to be doing some YouTube videos on some of the upcoming modifications. Going to make it a point to update this thread as well.
