Is the glass smaller on the non t-top doors? It always seemed like the glass is smaller, although I could be wrong.


Whats your plan for paint for it?

No the glass is not smaller, Also it is a myth about the doors being specifiic. as for the paint, it's gonna be under wraps for now, since after the first car everyone and their brother did a two toned paint scheme.

Man lots of progress so far.

Is there any way you could get some pic of the subframes from under the car?

more impressive progress, would you mind me asking if this is what you do for a living or is this just a passion of yours? it looks like you've already forgotten more than i know about building cars at age 23

Great job preserving such a rare body . What are your plans for the exterior? Are you going to stay with an 83-84 style front bumper? I will be following this build for sure.

Thanks everyone.
1991notchback - I want to have cars like this and I'm just too tight to pay someone to do it, so I find out how to get it done and go.

25th. - yea bring Joe over and when he see's all the stuff he'll feel lucky.

Coast2Coastang - We will retain all of the foureyed ques that we can especially the front end. Oh yea and for sure the star trek steering wheel is a keeper.

At least I can say i usta own the rarest fox ever

Great work and i cant wait to see the next pics of it...until then ill be in the corner... kicking my ass for selling a t- notch
