Post pics of how your foxbody currently sits

I pulled my H-Pipe today, measured and made a template (closest thing to a Jig I could do), and cut it then welded in my cat's. I'm gonna clean up and do the family thing for a while but I should have it fired up by tomorrow morning after this.

Well, the new turbo is in. Tomorrow she'll go back up on the jackstands, (shocker) and I'll make up all the piping and oil lines. Had to trim down the alt fan.. again, because the compressor volute on this unit apparently is a bit larger. More later!

First post,thought the best way to introduce myself is with a pic of my '86.I purchased the car 4 years ago completely stock.A few things have changed since this pic but since the car is under it's cover for the winter this is what I have.......

This...

Look like I'll be driving the '86 to NMRA Bradenton this week, so I ran the high speed buffer over it with a little bit of compound. It's not pretty, but it looks good from a distance. :jester:

@OldManRiver s car is sick! Id almost be willing to entertain a trade for mine.. almost.

I love the 4 eyes.. owned more of them than aero cars.. been checking out some snazzy verts lately too.. may consider a 4 eye vert if one presents itself in the next year or so. Momma is hot on my butt about building a shop so she can take in the garage for bedrooms for my girls.. that means more room for toys.. So many cars. So little time.
 
The SVO sail panels were more readily available a few years ago,lately it seems to be a popular swap so they are getting harder to come by.There are slight size differences between the '84 and '85/'86 models so if you do come across a set make sure they are from the later,fitment is much better.I purchased the current ones off Ebay about 3 years ago,and they do come up for sale online once in a while in the $100-$120 price range.
They completely change the look of the car,and your right,their addition brings a cleaner look.

I would add more pics if I had more to add.I have 2 or 3 exterior pics and 1 interior shot of the dash and Momo wheel.I was never a big picture taker.I build my cars for ME and was never one to show off my wares.Hell,I love to attend car shows but very rarely bring any of my own cars to the show,now cruise nights are a different story.

I've always been a fan of the 4 Eye cars over the Aero noses,the headlight setup looks a little manlier(not to offend)and were more apart of my youth.

Now that the cosmetic tweeks(still has the original paint) and suspension are done I'm focusing on supporting mods for the Si Trim I picked up from a friend and installed(waiting on the TF170 11R to come to market).This is my daily driver during the summer months putting on 2500-3000 miles yearly so just looking for a fun street car with a flat torque curve in the 350rwhp range.................for now,right?

Thanks for all the nice compliments guys,I do appreciate it.
