Never know. I will have pics of the custom fox radiator/core support cover tomorrow.

Fox core support radiator cover fabbed up. Got some fine tuning and tweaking to do but this will be the basic design. I will start a group buy when I have this one completly done. But this should give those interested a good idea of what it will look like in place.

Yeah..I added holes for the hood bumpers and radiator hold downs today. But anything can be drilled for each specific car.

I have a pretty good list of ones to do, so I will probably just focus on getting them done in metal first.

no , right?! it made me already inquire to Racedeck. their prices, depending on what scheme you want to do and size of the garage, arent too bad at all!

Did you buy the Mach as a rebuild, or just that dissatisfied with the factory paint?

The Mach 1 has 4,320 miles and has never even seen rain, but it's just a matter of fixing factory paint and issues.

Thanks...I'll post up all that stuff once I get one finalized. Just wanted to get the initial look up. I'm testing these on stock and aftermarket hoods to make sure they clear both first.

Thanks, The big springs on seats tracks and hood latches hold up just fine and are not effected, smaller springs may need to be removed.

I have never liked the 94-98 design I owned 2 and to say I hate them would be an understatement. I actually put them on par with the Mustang 2. That said one does not need to like the car to appreciate the time, quality and craftsman ship that goes into a build. You have done an outstanding job, I enjoyed catching up on this thread. This may very well be the nicest SN I've seen.

Thanks...Guess the 94-8s hold a special place cause they were new during my high school years and remind me of that time. But Im just as much a foxbody guy. More progress on the Mach 1.
