Yeah it’s single stage and yeah it did draw up just a little in a few places, it dried faster than I wanted to and we’re sure that’s what caused it but, the little that’s there doesn’t bother me considering it’s like a whole new car

I want to say I've seen people do a simple cut and buff on single stages with orangepeel to clean it up. Looks great though!

Okay got my exhaust finished up yesterday off road h pipe and flowmasters, anyway now I’m having a problem with the car shifting out of first. It just won’t shift until I let off the throttle, but if I shift manually it seems to do fine. I’ve searched the web and haven’t found anyone talking about this problem soooo please help, I’m not familiar with transmission issues so I need all the help I can get

Look up how to adjust the tv cable, you've knocked it off or the little plastic piece is broken.

Aod-E. No Tv cable to adjust.
It is equipped with a Manual Lever Position Switch. If it gets out of adjustment,or goes bad. Will cause all kinds of trouble-that’s where I would start-checking the alignment of the switch with the shifter linkage

Anyway back to topic, I think I've decided to end this thread here. I have decided to just leave this car alone and just use it for a nice cruiser/daily. I have bought another foxbody that needs everything, so look out for that thread because it will be a ground up build for street/strip use
