[Steve@TF]

Congrats that is so damn cool to make the MM magazine

 

[76mmturbo]

[04mach17]

^^^ wow thanks! That is the best comment I have got! Most people rank it in their top 5. Which is awesome too. I can think of my top 5 foxbodys and I think it belongs there!

 

[Great Asp]

Dude, ur car is in my magazine! LOL

That is a VERY cool car, nice work!

When I saw the title of the thread I was like "hey, could that be the same car?....nawwwwww"

Nice 5.0 Mach Won!!!

I see we have similar taste in catback/mufflers

I have ported JBA Shorties/Bassani Mid/SLP Catback w/ Bassani Race Mufflers

 

[04mach17]

Ya they don't make a bassani race catback so I had to improvise! We will have to see how it sounds now with the longtubes. I have a feeling it may be to loud. Muffler change may be in the future

 

[03cobrarocks]

Very sexy!

 

[smitty2919]

I love it all except the auto conversion lol.

I remember seeing that car a while ago and it stood out in my mind of a very well put together car. Love EVERYHTHING about it. Old school meets new school.

this is bad ass! If the show you're talking about is Knott's than I'm going to look for this beast!

 

[04mach17]

The car will not be at knotts(FFF) this year. Car still does not have the motor installed. This weekend is Easter and family comes first so I will have to miss out this year

I was at safeway yesterday flipping thru a MM&FF Magazine and ran into That Beauty.
Sweet Ride forsure.

I'm in the same boat casey. i have to tear my motor down too. I hope to make it next year. Congrats on the magazine bro. Welcome to the club. Hahaha

 

[04mach17]

Thanks JR! Just trying to keep up with you!


So I test fitted the blower today and ran into a snag! The mounting bracket for the blower is for a 96-99 timing cover, so I need to find a 96-99 timing cover now! I think I have already sourced one though!



Houston we have a problem!

 

[SVTORANGE]

Yeah not lining up to well

 

[04mach17]

Ok so I got the timing cover. The motor is going in this weekend. I have only a couple weeks to get the car finished. I will update as it goes in. Here is a shot of the motor ready to go in!

And one of the old setup! In the current magazine feature!

 

[SVTORANGE]

This build is so cool man - It should also be pretty damn quick as well:rockon:

 

[nux1]

Love notch Foxes. Am I seeing things or did you also swap the new edge dash?

 

[99BlownVert]

I love this car, would be perfect with a set of deep dish AFS Mach 1 wheels IMO. But still a great looking car!

 

[04mach17]

Ya it has the Mach1 interior as well. All but the door panels. I started fabricating them but it was way to much work. I decided to keep the fox panels and integrate the mach1 window switches.

And the AFS wheels would not fit. I tried. Too much offset. My car has a IRS in it. The wheels would have stuck out over a inch on both sides. I don't do MEXI-flush.
