What did you do to your foxbody mustang today?
- Thread starter Bdubbs
- Start date
Man I was so busy trying to get video for my channel if forgot to stop and say hi. It was a really good turn out and I'll definitely be going again next year. But maybe I'll fly next time that 20 hour drive sucked.
I met so many people we could have possibly met at some point lol. 18 hours round trip towing the car, it will probably be a while before I bring it down again.

I told my wife I want to go to this event one year. However, I made it clear I wasn't going to take my Fox. No way I'm driving from El Paso to North Carolina and trailering my Fox on an open trailer that far LOL. I know when I'm there I'll be wishing I had my Fox though LOL.
Now, the LMR event in Dallas, yes, I'll be taking my Fox to that show one year. I have too many things going on this year, but I will be going to both of these events in the future....
One of these years i'll make it down there. Too far for me to trailer my car. I also do not own a trailer nor a tow vehicle so that is a bit of a hurdle, along with the 800 or so miles each way I'd need to travel.
I look forward to the videos

For the towing comments...I borrowed a buddy's Featherlite aluminum trailer and pulled it with my 2020 F150 3.5 Ecoboost. It towed great, at times I didn't know it was back there. My other options were an open all steel trailer and a 24' enclosed that I knew would be more weight than I wanted to handle. I think if I had to travel any further like some of you guys would have to, I would definitely break it up into 2 days each way.

The vert is officially at the shop for the winter. I'm contemplating on replacing some filth in the engine bay. Intake manifold, injectors, fuel lines, valve covers, ect.
I found a local guy that does powder coating. I have a spare upper and lower intake manifold. So I might have him powder coat it

Well I got the valve covers. I think these might look better on a already modded car. So might go on the notch at some point.
The 90 convertible I'll try to keep stock looking. See if powder coater can keep stock valve covers, and intake manifold looking like stock.

I don’t even know where to begin with this one. If you want to talk about hiccup, after hiccup, after hiccup. I’ll keep it brief though. Blueballs has had a 331 Stroker on the ground in the garage for quite some time. Bought it off a guy who purchased it from the machine shop from someone who didn’t pay. So my brother in law bought the motor we had planned to swap it a while back, and I’d take his old AFR Heads, and Holley intake, etc for my foxbody. Fast forward to This last Friday. We swapped over new coil overs took the H&R road race springs out. Was a fight but we got it all in and sorted. Now comes the motor part. Motor was built for an SN95 so the brackets and such wouldn’t work per se without “temporary permanent adjustment”. The car was built for a turbo, and it had the oil hole drilled in the oil pan, the works. Fought us for about 3 hours to go in due to the Morosso oil pan size. At this point we get the motor in, start buttoning up all the odds and ends, fuel rails go in, all is well. First attempts no good, we thought man it’s not getting spark or something, crawling all over to figure it out. 180 degrees out.. okay got it. Boom we get it dialed in and she fires up. All is well, we had thought. The Holley terminator x is learning, we got the vacuum hoses on, TPS is good and learned. We are letting it idle to get up to temp, out of nowhere loud ass clacking from the driver side. Shuts it down. Praying for a rocker or something to be hitting the valve cover. Nope.. it’s in the bottom end. Not a fun way to spend my vacation so far, but hopefully we can figure this out soon. Oh and the hood doesn’t close anymore due to the new intake 
If nothing else I enjoyed my time spending it with my brothers. So I’m grateful for the time spent.

Dang that sucks dude. He plan on selling those stock valve covers? LoL. I don't want to mess with the OEM ones on my vert. They still have some sort of white stickers on the passenger one. I'd rather store them away.I don’t even know where to begin with this one. If you want to talk about hiccup, after hiccup, after hiccup. I’ll keep it brief though.

Not terribly sure at the moment. After those few days he decided it’s best to walk away for a little bit and come back to it.
I have my stockers i'm looking to get rid of. They will need a sandblast but they are in decent shape.
I'd be interested. I plan on having other parts sandblasted. Please PM pictures and price when you get a chance!

I put on some fiddlefartfab parts I bought at foxtober fest from Tom. My only complaint is that hood doesn't open as much as it would without the Struts. The Pic with the hood open is the max it'll open so I kinda bummed about that.

Let me go dig them out and snap some pics. I'll get back to you
I was checking out a lot of cars at foxtoberfest with these hood struts, i'm really considering them because I hate the prop rod. Wish I would have paid better attention to the different ones I saw as I would want my hood to go up a little farther too.
Yeah his parts are nice but I'm probably going to take off the Struts and just run the hinges. Reason being when I'm working on my car i don't want to have bend down even more and hit my head from it being low.
Hopefully I can bump into that owner and save that Fox body it needs help

I just watched the video you did of your buddies red 93. Awesome car.
Thank you for the feedback on the fiddle fart stuff. I won't be buying their hood hinges. I understand sometimes things need to be modified to fit, but that opening is just to damn small...
