Went To Steeda, FOX Parts Updating

[VibrantRedGT]

Went to Steeda yesterday to pickup a few parts for the Father & Son 94GT project.

Got to talking with Brian who took us in the back warehouse to show us a few cars.

A few points he made were surprising.

The resurgence of FOX parts was one. The FOX parts are now made today's materials and processes. The 20-25 year designs have been updated.

I was thinking since the boom of the S197 and 550 platforms the 79-95 market was all but new old stock but not the case according to Steeda.

Not sure if they browse the FOX forums but if so, thanks to Brian for taking the time to talk to us for a half hour.

Here are some pics.

I have a 30 second video clip I'll put in the next Father & Son Episode thread.

This test mule I've seen so many times.

That teal 1993 Cobra at the end is all original with 23,000 miles.

This car was gorgeous. I think this is the car making the circuit rounds doing all kinds of racing.

Cool Pics. Nice to see Dario is still keeping up on the Fox stuff.

I’m surprised none of these bigger companies have copied or picked up the spoilers from makers garage. They look great but the first batch was like $900 and he just started making a $250 plastic one but is dragging his feet on the GT. It was cool to see new stuff though

He was actually there when we were. They are not keeping very much stock in the Florida branch, if you order online it'll come from the Valdosta, GA distribution center.

As for their install business, they are booked solid for the next few months. There are cars there just waiting for install work.
