Our son Austin that just turned 16 did a lot of it. He has been helping me build our cars for over 6 years and did the majority of the work in the pictures.

I never liked Fords myself but for some reason I got bored with other makes and started the Rustang phase about 4-5 years ago.

One reason I stuck with them is because he will have less than 3k in this car when we are done and he will be running 10's. ;)

I have a few that look like a NASA launch control center under the hoods so I do know the feeling all too well.

Thanks, we are having fun with it that's for sure.


what motor are u putting in it?

Right now we have a lil stock 302 iron headed engine just to cruise around in until he gets his engine combo together but if people around here keep calling him out it will quickly transform to a 358 Canfield headed twin kit NOS engine.


nice! great work! I need to get to work on mine and i need to get some pics. I have to ask why are you guys swaping the k member?

The UPR K-member kit reduces weight by a good margin, let's the engine sit lower and farther back in the chassis, helps with the coil over setup and looks a lot cleaner taking up 1/3 of the space.



i wanna come to your shop some times since i want a fox body ill just look at all yours lol

Your welcome here anytime and if you really want one just do what we have a few others doing now. Get a starter (shell/roller/whatever) and we will help ya get a parts list together and even help with the build up. Just remember that we do this as a hobby and take our time but what do you expect for free? ;)

Remember that's with us doing all the labor and grunt work.
