Whats going on? Ive been scooping out the site for a while now and it was about time i signed up haha!! I have a 87 fox that i recently picked up about 2 months ago. Like anyone else i have plans for it, just wished the cash was there to go with the plans!! Ive always had a love for mustangs, but never owned one. Only experience i had with mustangs was while working at Shelby and from there it was game over. Even though working on the GT-H and in the background on the Shelby GT's, I couldnt have anything that wasnt a fox ( unless a terminator came my way lol. ) well enough talk and on to a few pics that were taken a few weeks after i got the fox.

Welcome to Stangnet... Looks like you got a solid foundation to start with in your 87. What are the plans for it?

boost lol. still trying to decide between supercharger or turbo at the moment. goal is 400-450ish to the rear wheels. Nothing too crazy, just a fun project yet reliable enough for me to drive it back and forth to cali for shows and what not.

but the current plans right now are to fix the little bit of rust on the roof, repaint the stock wing, get a set of stripes i have laying around put on and fixing a lot of the "mickey mouse" work that was done at one point or another.

Boost is always fun... Where in Cali do you drive to, Norcal, or Socal?

Just curious, is the front of the sideskirt supposed to be burgundy?

SoCal mainly. I want to bring it down to the Ford show out at Knotts Berry farm this spring. Went last year with a few Lightnings and was dead set on returning with a Mustang lol.

the shadow of the stop sign is on it lol. the entire car is one color.

LOL... I see the shadow now... In the pic it looked like you have some type of weird burgundy stripe down the door & on the front of the side skirt...

I want to take my mach 1 out to the Knott's show next year too...
