I think it is the smart to pay off the outstanding bills first. Less debt means more money for projects. I like the detailed build process/pics. Keep up the good work.Quote:

That trike is baller.
Trailer wheels. Spray paint. :)
paying off debt is better then money in the bank, smart choice. i only drive a high 13 sec GTP but i have zero debt so im rich in my own ways..couple questions for ya if i may:
these are 14.5-15.5 sec cars stock correct?
what mods help these cars the most? i mostly see ppl swapping the upper intake manifold first?
how are the rearend on these cars and how much abuse can they handle before doing one wheel peel?
i think this thread would benefit well if basic facts about the cars weight, specs, available aftermarket support and future track times were established, just my 2 cents ofcourse
def interested in this build and will follow it for sure
anyone can buy a 50k sports car..ppl who build from the bottom up are the ones to admire, good job!
Thanks. The massive number of pics I post are to help me along the way as well.Quote:

-The Ford 8.8 is really strong. Lots of cars in the 8's on them. Usually people will weld the axle tubes. They come w/28 spline axles so most people that make a decent amount of power will upgrade to 31 spline axles and respective posi/locker/spool unit.
If I get a bit of free time I will compile a small facts list on these. Must be something to them. Chevy guys love them as much as the Ford guys.
awesome..yeah i can understand the massive aftermarket support for the 5.0 and its ability to pull good times.
ive just raced them at New England Dragway and even with ported heads/headers/gears/small cam they still run low 14's and since have been turned off by them, perhaps they had street tires? idk? hope you get this car going good :)
What's your plans for the dash? You've probably already said but i missed it or have forgotten.
I'll go thruogh the speaker hole. This is the best pic I could find.

Right on! Who needs speakers anyways when you get to listen to the music of a 5.0L
Few more cell phone pics. Picking her up this weekend.

Nice build, you have done way more to this Fox than I did to mine. Kinda funny I traded my Fox for a GP and you traded your GP for a Fox (if I got this right). I see you got the FRPP headers for those GT40P's, good choice. Are you going with OR H or OR X?
I've never actually owned a GP, just trolling along. The car already has O/R H and some series 40 Flow's. I'm just going to keep the "nostalgia" look and sound on this for a while.Quote:

Quarter panels have been rolled. Plus the Torque boxes have been fully welded to the body. Should be good to go.
What does something like that cost if you don't mind me asking?
Around $2500Quote:
