In process. almost done. Dad bought in 1980 and gave it to my son who has been helping with the restoration. 454 with TH400. Factory leaf spring truck. Did an axle flip with c-notch, and 3.5in drop spindles in the front. Truck was a factory AC truck. We have put in vintage AC.
That is along the same lines as what I would love to have. Any plans on replacing the lead springs with a 4 link?
Might as well add a little motion and noise to the image.
Owned it since 1989, same paint as purchased. 355sbc w/ Tremec T56 Magnum close ratio. Track ready suspension and brakes.
I always liked those trucks. Honestly, I like the OEM wheels better, but still a neat truck to have.Yep. #1981
Nice. What kind of track number did it put down?
Love the Fox. I have an '88 GT 5-speed in pieces in my garage. Drove it in high school in the 90s and ive had it waiting for full resto/rebuild for the last 15 years now...
They are only going up in value, and resto parts are becoming more available. I like seeing them restored with tasteful mods.Love the Fox. I have an '88 GT 5-speed in pieces in my garage. Drove it in high school in the 90s and ive had it waiting for full resto/rebuild for the last 15 years now...
At this rate I'd just like to have it done in another 15 years for my son to drive!
Glad nothing got hurt. I’ve seen tires come apart, and all sorts of stuff get mangled.
Age is what gets most of the tires for me too.The chunk of tread that's missing flapped around inside the wheel well for a while before it came loose. From the sounds of it I figured it was beating the Hell out of the quarter panel. But there's no damage there and I don't think there's much of anything wrong inside the well.
So it's all good.
Just wanted to add a video:

Chassis looks to be well balanced Motor, trans, shocks, brake, suspension info?
Since you're a Ford guy
Here's my buddy's car he never got to drive at Sonoma the weekend before the NASCAR race. First real shake down and the car had a serious aero induced push as yo can tell by throttle input off the apexes.
He also had these two that I was fortunate enough to track on a few occasions.
Track days with good friends are hard to beat.
My daily driver 2018 GMC 2500. This is when I had the ceramic coating too it

Well done, watching you're inputs and the chassis' it was pretty obvious it wasn't your first rodeo.The engine is stock and rev limited to 6500rpm
Transmission is a Tremec Magnum XL
Brakes are PowerBrake Motorsports brakes
Suspension: MCS double remotes, WL Watts, and all the bushings were replace with spherical bearings
The car was set up by professional race care driver Eric Foss
I set the track record that weekend (for a race not TT) and went on to win the Texas Regional Championship for ST3
I can relate to that. Just picked up a 8295R. At least the tractors help you make money.Don't have a hot rod yet but these are my rides.
