New Year...New Shade Of Grey. This Time It’s For Keeps

Everyone has a price.

On a serious note, with as popular as the Holley and the Foxbody both are, I’d assume that would be a piece you could market and sell.
Kinda thinking like the quality companies Sight of a Sound and Florida5.0 have made over the years.
I know I’d be a potential customer.

Me specifically market and sell? It's late, I'm confused, lol.

deadly serious i was offered near $50k yesterday by a well known local. I won’t do it. Between the cost of parts and the hours we have in it, I’d lose money. Selling no expense spared builds with all new parts is never profitable. The only way I was able to do it on my last couple of builds is because I had a lot of the new parts I used on hand already. I went overboard on this because I was building it for myself from the beginning. It’s a perfect tribute to my brother.
Now, would we build a comparable car for someone? It’s up for discussion. I think there’s a few people in line already if we decide to open that door

he’s talking about the Holley bezels

In the midst of EXTREME lockdown in Michigan, I’m not about to do much of anything but I can work on the car after I’ve snuck over to the garage.


Highly modified this cooling system. All billet pro shop AN fittings on the motor, modified the core support to recess a 3” thick aluminum radiator. Scrapped the traditional fox body style for a 99-04 setup to allow a de-gas/overflow tank. Welded up the -16AN fittings. No leaks this time!



Rewiring the entire car including the factory harness. Every wire is getting cut to length and loomed. Every wire not needed...bye. This is how you properly wire a car



Can’t begin to tell you how many hours went into these Holley Screen bezels. They’ll hide in the stock black interior perfect though. (No the prodash isn’t scratched...that’s the protective film on it)

I’m hyper excited for him. If this communist state I live in allows for it!

Started routing fuel today. As with everything all lines are being routed and hidden as cleanly as possible. Prodigy brushless pump and 1750cc injectors should be plenty stout



The work it took to recess the massive radiator was worth it. It barely pokes out of the core support. Painted it black to hide it even more. Started routing all the AN coolant lines. This bay will be incredibly clean when done

This is looking incredible. I wish I could get parts right now. Being out of work for the foreseeable future is holing me up.
Keep up the great work

Amazing!

You’re biased, you own one of my favorite builds

A little biased, yes. But you are improving and going bigger-better with each one. Very impressive!

Very cool build and nice photos! This car will be fun! The fox bodies have really grown on me over the years. 20 years ago I thought different lol!

That really means a lot thank you. I take this craft very seriously so it’s humbling when others take notice

Thanks! Hopefully the final product will grow on you even more

Interior day! Received a very nice $700 care package from NPD, including brand new black seat belts and several buttons, switches as well as correct coded SEM interior paint for my quarter plastics. I wasn’t about to pay $1000 for some mint black original quarters so I took matters into my own hands lol. Now I have mint black quarters. You’d NEVER know if I didn’t tell you extensive prep and attention to detail is key



Before


After

Very nice.
I had many hours trimming my mint rear panels around the mini tub. They’re still in my basement, hopefully will be used again.
Can’t wait to see the black interior.

Didn’t want to clutter your thread, but we had a productive night in the garage too.
New 3R blower is happily in place!
If the weather would cooperate it’s ready to drive.
Hope to see you next time I’m up that way.
