My Fox build

[90_Red_LX]

So a couple years ago I had a introduction of the front nose and driver fender to a guardrail in the rain, and what should have been a simple fix and go turned into an all out stripdown and rebuild. This is how she sits now. What do you guys think?

Doing a 5 lug conversion, bullitt/cobra front brakes and discs in the rear. Motor combo will stay the same for now, new carpet, new seats/upholstery, and upgrading the sound and suspension. Still debating on going coilovers. Thoughts?

What hood is that and what is the rise. Looks clean though.

I always loved the minimalist rise cowl hoods. Looks great.

It's from national parts depot. The 2 or 2 1/2" rise steel cowl hood. Fit pretty good. There were some minor flat spots that the bodyman used a dab of filler just to smooth up, but it fit real well and came out great.

It's no longer a rolling chassis as the suspension and brakes are now ripped off of it, but hopefully one day she'll be running again.

Paint looks great!

I wish somebody would make a rip-off 17" 10 hole in 5 lug. I'd go back to 10 holers in a heartbeat.

Looking forward to seeing the progress. And seeing it lowered. Right now it looks like it's set up for rally. (Which would actually be pretty awesome.)

Yea it looks a lot different without the motor and trans. Trying to hopefully get the motor back in shortly. Even with stock springs it didn't ride awfully high, unlike most newer stock spring stangs. Still debating on whether or not to go coil over or not tho.

 

[88LX5.Oh]

Why NOT go coil over?

 

[90_Red_LX]

Haven't researched the tire sized I can run. Hoping for a 275 in rear and 245 front. That and do I want to spend the extra money lol.

It all depends on comfort level. It can be the hottest-looking thing on the block, but if it compresses your vertebrae every time you cross a pair of railroad tracks, it's not worth it.

Looks good, I like the hood too.
