  1. Dude it looks fabulous! Wonderful job!
  2. Yeah the door sticker on the convertible says that it weighs 4200 pounds, where the LX only weighs 2500!!
  3. Man I totally would but being 17 my insurance would be CRAZY expensive since it's a convertible.
  4. Dude she's looking fantastic
  5. Dude that car but in Reef Blue is my dream Foxbody, I've only ever seen 1 for sale, and I could never afford it.
  6. Ooops meant to quote @JollySipper
  7. The GT bodykit will work on the hatchback, but I'm planning on eventually putting a Saleen bodykit on it so I'll probably sell the GT kit. Ohh by the time I have this the way I want it; this thing is gonna be a street legal racecar for the most part. But for now, I'm gonna put an E303 cam in it with 2 chamber flow masters and an H pipe, old school. I'm also going to do other things to it slowly like do a smog pump delete, bigger injectors, fuel pump, Trick Flow upper intake, etc... For now my plan is to make it a good driver that looks and sounds good, but while I'm driving it and enjoying it; I'm gonna be building a 347 or a 351 bored to a 440 on the side to drop in it. 😎
  8. Thanks! Yeah I'm planning on swapping pretty much the whole interior into the hatchback as well as the 5.0 and 5-speed. So by the time I'm done with it, you probably won' even be able to tell it was a Foxbody.
  9. I know! I can't believe how nice it came out when I was finished. The front and rear bumpers need paint though, as most foxes do.
  10. Oh also I haven't touched the inside yet, I've literally spent the last week and change washing the outside of this thing. Tcat starts back next week so hopefully I can do the swap at school so I got more hands for help. 😁
  11. Alright folks, I got an update! Last week I acquired the parts car; It's a '92 Mustang GT triple black Convertible, it's a 5.0 5-speed, which is exactly what I was looking for. It hurts my Foxbody loving heart to strip this car because it's one of only 68 triple black 5-speed convertibles made in '92, but it's the cheapest one I could find for the V8 swap. Next I washed the green car: (It took me dang near a week to wash, scrub, and buff that thing) On the bright side though the paint is dang near IMACULATE, there's a few spots on the roof, hood, and hatch that need a little help. But hey, for 300 bucks I can't complain.
  12. Do you still have the foxbody kit?
  13. Wow man that color is amazing! Love the stance!
  14. Yessir I appreciate the comment! I got the parts car a couple days ago for the V8 swap so you should be seeing some progress REAL soon
  15. I know when we found it in the woods I was gonna offer my Uncle like 1000 bucks for it, (That's still DIRT cheap for a Fox around here) but when he said he would take 300, man I couldn't get to the bank fast enough. 🤣 Oh yeah I bet that old Mopar was GONE, especially with it having no glass
  16. Wow it's looking amazing!
  17. See I told my dad the same thing when he was looking for quarters on his Comet, but he said that quarters for a Falcon/66-67 Comet are far more expensive than that of a '66 Mustang (Which is what he has now). I'm still trying to get him to fix the Comet though because it's very sentimental to him; its the car he learned how to drive a stick on when he was a kid. Dude I totally get the busy/no money part, I can't afford a half decent running driving Fox, (They're usually around 10K in here in TN) and a non-running roller is almost 6k!! So when I found this car in the woods for 300 bucks I couldn't pass up on it.
  18. Dude I would snag that car!! My Dad just recently got a 65 Comet Caliente that from my grandpa (Its REALLY rusty) and can't afford to fix the rust issues cuz those Comet quarters are not reproduced anywhere. I know the '66 is a different body style so maybe someone makes quarters for it, but since it's rust free I would definitely buy it.
  19. Thanks Dan! I appreciate the help!
  20. Ok so I finally got a title for it in the mail the other day so now I'm gonna start the cleaning process. Any recommendations for disinfecting the rat feces that this thing has been invaded with? I would prefer not to catch some kind of illness from cleaning this thing. 😅
  21. Wow!! That is a sick car... You wanna sell that GT? I need the trans out of it If its a stick that is
  22. Oh my gosh man that car is SWEET! How much did you sell it for?
