mustang1989 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Ok folks. I've got my next automotive build lined up after I get through with "The Camaro Restoration Project". I've been wanting to do a 460 Big Block Ford powered Fox Body Mustang for a while now. Initially I wanted to do the 1990 Model LX but now that I've acquired an older Fox Bodied car that just looked too cool to pass up I think I'll go with this one. I've already got the wheels and tires to make all this happen so here's where we're at:and I've got a Big Block Ford Resin kit (a 572 cid engine but I'll be labeling it as a "460" cid)It's already got an automatic transmission behind it so that's a plus. I didn't like the carburetor that was on top of it so we'll go with an 800cfm double pumper carburetor for the fuel induction side of things (shown below)Mock ups: (large Goodyear lettering will be removed from the rear tires. Just looks too ridiculous the way it is and will be tucking the rear tires a tad bit more inward to keep from sticking out too far......don't wanna go too 80's on this you know.. )and the decals as laid out on the computer screen. Will be going with "GT460" on the lower rocker striping like the old GT350's and 500's used to be. Just had to get those totally obnoxious decals for the rear window. I think I'll be going with the smaller one. lol Girlscanplay2, LSP_K2, Shawn M and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 A 93 GT drop top was almost my first car, until my mom spun it and told my dad and I "you two are NOT getting this car" In hindsight it was a smart move on her part, no 16 year old needs that for his first car. mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Rounding up parts for this one. Looking at the wheels and the engine. Having to switch to my auto garage build to keep me occupied at the bench for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Looks like I've got the manufacturer of the engine to send me another engine block and the missing oil pan. Now waiting on 5 lug wheels from another source.............. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
