    Stock Foxbody Worth?

    youd be surprised how many cars have body filler in them, most any car thats been restored has some amount of it, theres no way to get a straight smooth finish wirh out it if you weld in body panels.

    Stock Foxbody Worth?

    i really appreciate all the greatr info guys. ill print this and slowly start plucking away at these issues, i traded for the car, and had about a grand into what i traded for it, so i got the car cheap and its worth fixing up in my opinion since a 100% rust free car of this age in this state is...
