    Progress Thread Finally got my first Fox Body - 1988 GT

    Progress Thread Finally got my first Fox Body - 1988 GT

    The metal bracket on the body stays and the lip of the ground effect slides behind it , iirc it was a pretty tight fit , careful not to mar the paint. Those pieces on my 93GT had notches cut in them were they slid around the rivets on the body mounting bracket , yours look a little different...

    I remember when I first got into cars ( early 80s ) people wanted as little filler in their cars as possible. Fast forward to the custom car reality TV age and it seemed that every show car was completely skimmed in filler prior to paint. I imagine advances in the chemical make-up of body...

    Distributor autozone sucks compared to motorcraft?

    Brake Booster confirmation.

    Just for reference I installed a 93 Cobra booster on my 93 fox with a stroked 351w ( 393 ). Had to clearance the shock tower with a 3lb sledge a little more than I was expecting but it's doable .

    Progress Thread 1985 Thunderbird Fox Body

    Looks like a cool project , good luck with it ! Not sure what your plans are for the engine and I'm sure you already know, but those Flotek heads are robbing you of some power.

    Engine Successful first start - timing question
