My car now has cruise control. All this just to run the Saleen style buttons and MOMO wheel. I didn't want non-functional buttons...so I made them functional :)

About to start wiring the engine next. Making progress and hopefully a running car by this summer. :)

Oh, I also calibrated my tach. Yes, that is a thing that can be done, as there are adjustment pots on it.

(photo is not the actual tach from my car, but a spare junk tach I did my initial "learning" on)

Red is desired. Blue is before, and green is after adjustment

Been here a while, commented on your beauty a few times. Hope we can get some pics of them together at an event this summer if we ever get back to normal.

Just noticed your avatar was a Saleen, then realized it was yours lol.

That's a great idea.
Chocolate Fox is back on for May 15th in Hershey, and then I hope to make it to Ford Carlisle in June. I'll also be at the Spring car cruise in OC this year too.

I changed it from the GT350 after I sold it. I will keep those dates in mind. I took an 85 Vert to Maple Grove one year, that was a long time ago!

I used to show at Maple Grove for many years back in the early 90's. Here's my 87' GT that made it into 5.0 magazine. Good times...

Been working on getting my Kenny Brown Matrix system in. I'm going to have my fair share of stress cracks to weld up when it's time for the carpet to come out and be replaced.

I’m almost ready to start putting the restored interior back in my notch. People will shit when they see one rolling down the road. They are almost like the 70 Chevelle SS in terms of desirability amongst car guys of our age group

That's awesome . For some reason I seem to get more thumbs up in my 90 coupe than my 03 cobra. I think many people don't even know what my cobra really is. And must be the sound of a cammed pushrod motor.

I wish Bob. Sold it a year or 2 after that show. Out of 20 or so foxes, that’s the one I wish I could get back.
I can see why. Great looking Fox!

Just another month away, Brady. I'm getting really antsy to remove the cover on my G70. If the weather cooperates, off it comes on March 20 (or March 27).

I hope so! But I think it's going to be April at the earliest. Depends, if we get enough rain to wash away the salt.

I agree, unless something really changes I see it being April as well. We’ve had a good bit of snow and salt all over.

I think that very few people know what a Terminator is, I'm some what of a car guy and I had no idea until about 2007. I was asking people what stock cars would be a threat to my 2006 GTO and the Terminator continually came up.

Brady's Fox is exceptional for sure and would get thumbs up at a Fox rally as well as a traffic light. It is a very nice car!

I agree. I've had quite a bit thumbs up in the 90. Many don't have a clue about the terminator. But it is awesome being at a light and getting on it. I often look in my rear view mirror and see the driver of the car that was next to me with a huge smile!

Love the pictures from the early 90s car shows. Can't believe that was 30 years ago. Truly a better, simpler time.

I took my 92 coupe for a drive yesterday and it put a big smile on my face. You rarely see these cars on the road anymore, especially coupes. The prices on these things have gone up big time the last few years and I imagine they will continue to rise.
