Paint looks great man... and maybe I missed it in the thread somewhere, but was what involved in putting the S197 front seats in the fox? They don't just bolt in do they?

HotFox · Aug 12, 2013

Yes that is me in the picture. First time with my car at the show had a great time! Also enjoyed hanging with Sam after the show! The car is defiantly magazine worthy no doubt about it! It is not only a complete restoration but has some things done that no one else has done. Seeing the car at the paint shop in person the pictures do not do it justice! Makes mine look pretty sad in comparison.

I was parked next to my buddys T-top but I left at noon to go out on the lake. Mustang Monthly contacted my buddy and they are going to do a Photo Shoot of his car. He was pretty excited.

no they don't you don't use the s197 seat tracks at all ,you remove the seat tracks from the seats .i bought tubular steel from lowes cut them to size and welded them to the bottom of the seats and then drilled holes through then and bolted them down to the foxbody seat tracks.you might be able to get away with not using the tubular steel but i wanted mine to be safe .

thanks scott i hope you are right as far as magazine worthy that would be awesome.you are right the pics don't do it justice can't wait to get her home and finish her up .i cleaned up the garage today so i am ready.your car is pretty damn nice and judging by my neighbors that came by to see and hear it they walked away pretty impressed.in fact mike told me later that night that your car was the best foxbody he had seen from all my friends who have stopped by with their cars.serious whiplash being in the passenger seat of that car.

i still have to install the cobra side ground effects i made a list of things that need to go on the car and its awfully long

Ozz · Aug 30, 2013

Great to see so far! What'd you do to keep the sides (behind the wheels) of the rear bumper tight? Mine give headaches no matter what I do!!

its an oem cobra bumper so it attaches like the gt ones perfect fit overall i am pretty happy with how it all came together.

Ozz · Aug 30, 2013

It's been a while since I've seen the stock stuff - is this the style of bracketry?

no the one that comes off the sides actually has studs on it ,it is inserted in the sides behind the wheel area and pushed through the holes there.then you use nuts to screw it down.the bracket above is to attach the side ground effects

hsean · Aug 30, 2013

i am picking up these oem saleen wheels they are 18x9 alittle curb rash so i have to repair them i am leaning heavily on powdercoating mirror black.what do you guys think?or should i stay with the 99 oem cobra wheels.

Ozz · Aug 30, 2013

Just like the long piece that goes on the inside of the bumper's face? I can't find anything like that on 50resto. Might have to hit a yard or search for used online...

hsean · Aug 30, 2013
