She went under the knife this weekend (for many hours). I spent Saturday and Sunday taking the inside apart and tigging in the Wolfe Racecraft cage. I made a couple of modifications to make it fit the way that I wanted but it was a really nice kit. The new carpet and rest of the interior will be in shortly but I wanted to throw these pictures up while I had the chance. While I had the grinder/welders going, I finished putting the Stiffler's FIT system on. Like a typical fox, my frame rails/pinch welds had been used as jacking points in the past, which made more work for myself. After bending the pinch welds back into place, I was able to get everything tacked into place and finish welded on. This car should be extremely solid now! I'll get more pictures of the Stiffler's system when I get all of the welds painted up. It's an unbelievably nice kit.

- Thread starter BLKFOX
- Start date
and FINALLY, here are some good updates!
The Stiffler's FIT system is on the car, the cage is done, and the car is SOLID! *I'll be painting the cage and putting the carpet back in it over the weekend. *If everything goes as planned, the car is going to Cincinnati to get painted at the end of next week
. *I'm getting excited guys.....

OMG how did I miss this thread. Josh, you have to send me a PM because I have some questions.
How well does the car ride? I love my fox and want to keep it forever but right now it's sitting on stands as a shell with no drivetrain so I've been wanting to do a coyote(or a stock block turbo setup like it used to have in it) with a good manual and rear. I always hated driving the car long distances because of no A/C(which no matter what will not happen again) and how rough it rode, I swear I could drive over a quarter and tell you the year.lol I tried everything from coil springs to coil overs with different shock setups bilsteins,tokico, even some strange 10 ways and nothing made it ride good. It was so bad that I've been afraid to put it back together the way I want because I'll spend all that money and not actually drive it.
So send me a PM with some non biased opinions on your companies kit for the front/rear(just like what you have or recommend) and let me know how it rides and drives. Honestly I've thought about buying a new car because I have just accepted the fact my fox is always going to ride awful. Change that for me please, I beg you!!!!!
Now to go back through and read your entire thread, btw a lot of the pics aren't working.

Sooooooooo much better. *It's now drive-able and feels like a different car.
made 364rwhp/353rwtq, not bad. I'll take it for an all motor setup.

Car looks great!!!
I bet. I'm still nailing away at my coupe one part at a time but hey it's fun
I've seen you post over in Pro-touring as I WAS gonna sell my coupe and buy another classic pontiac. However finding a decent quality one that's not $$$ is hard lol. So I'll be keeping the mustang.

Who did the work to stiffen up the chassis? Is there a specific someone can buy for the same results?
