To be honest it's not just fox-bodys it's old cars in general

median household income was $74,580 in 2022 but that money buys you much less standard of living then even 10 years ago. If you are making that you don't have money to waste on these cars. What you see people doing online is mostly a lie. You have to remember having a fox 20 years ago as your only car and doing minor bolt on upgrades yourself is one thing. In 2002 my friends had new f-bodies they were modifying with new parts and I had the 13yr old car with 150k miles repairing things too keep it running. Guys with a fox now as their toy are either wrenching it themselves like me or having pro shops restore their cars. I was quoted $30K just for paint and body work by one of these type places. These cars are just not worth much so even if you can do the work mostly yourself it's a big money loser. I'll probably be in $20K in parts before paint but I can do alot of the work myself in my free time. But this is a long term project unlike people that just write a $60K check to get one totally rebuilt. That sounds crazy but a classic restoration shop in my area just did a fox that needed almost everything for that. And once you get your project complete you better insurance it properly because the last thing you need if a minor wreck to destroy your years of work.

Had a blast! Good job guys!

Audio was terrible

So what if plugged vacuum lines as shown then just plug those two tubes wouldn’t that be the same thing

Long story short; By in large these fox bodies are old, cheap and numerous, just like their owners. (Speaking as a former Fox body owner.) Shops want wealthy customers who will best help keep the shops mechanics busy and help the shop owner's retirement plan. It is what it is. No shame in that. I've always held that if you want it done by a person who will care the MOST how your money is spent, you need to figure out how to do it yourself. Moreover, it's no longer just the "greedy shop owners" that drive that bottom number on your invoice. The way mechanics get paid nowadays (piece work) leaves very little flexibility in how the owners can "discount" your bill, even if they wanted to. These mechs are getting half or more of the profit from a brake job now. For a while, the shops made up for that in parts markup, and now that margin is essentially gone too. There are no "deals" to be had in the services side of things.

What’s the highest horsepower produced over the years?

Great video!!

Mama I made it. I’m featured on @foxcast media 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Where can i get those CLEAN Engine bay panels sides & the one over top of radiator ?

Great channel , I just bought a fox body gt white with the red interior as a project . I am having financial problems due to work slowing down and I have a couple of people who want to buy it from me . As much as I need the money I will not sell this car ! lol 😂 it’s my dream car and I’ll never know when I will ever come across one again!

What a awesome line up, some serious HP, couldn't be there had a death in the family, book it for FTO 2025.

Sorry couldn't make it out this year to FTO, had to much going on

Sorry couldn't make it out to FTO this year had to much going on

It was hot as hell but had a great time like always! I can't wait for next year

Some awesome rides. Great video and I wish I could get to one of these things. Central Wisconsin is far away lol

John Brooks is a good dude and his car is fire ✌️

Damn some ga. Neighbors representing!! I know I now have to make it if they did.

Love this video every year. Audio was horrible this time.

Looks like fun. Couldn’t hear well and would’ve been nice to ask them what combo they’re running.

Right on awesome numbers

Man didn't bullshit and told us the price upfront. Earned a sub just from that.

i have a 1989 foxbody,i have had it for 15 years its my sunday car,me and my wife love the car,the only thing i did with it was install short headers,every thing else is stock,and i am very happy,in the east coast you find foxbody mechanics,but not the south.

Would be fun to do this with my track car once it's done. Wouldn't be near as impressive as these but would hopefully bring some 2.3 Lima Love

I actually agree with the shop owners. Those are some of the reasons why I left the mechanic field. Really, it's the Jeeps that threw me over the edge since everybody wants a lift kit and large tires. On the anecdote about a radiator job snowballing into bigger jobs, that's exactly why I would tell customers "Right now it's leaking here, but there's always a chance that after we fix that, it may find another weak spot somewhere to leak from."

Learn to FIY.. skills that men used to do. Old cars need TLC

I get it but I still love the push rod engines.

Over rated cars period

I think I have replaced ALL of those things!

What is considered a steal? $1,000?

Ive owned alot of fast high end cars where all told I was close to 100k into them. Yes it was cool to have one to drive and show off but the bottom line its just a load of stress and issues in the end.

A quote to live by. "Don't Get Frustrated, Get Motivated" -Caleb Richards

After I got married, had three children. Raised them, both of us worked provided income. We watched our money, bought house after two yrs. You only make money when your the boss, use the little bit of extra income to buy tools for your own business. I was in my 40s before I started having and spending money on building a car.

Literally worked on and stored my car 3 years on and off. Engine bay smoothed. All parts and particulars to basically rebuild. Life got in the way finances,divorce etc. Car lost completely. 50k easily down the drain

Ford... First on raceday!!!

What shot was it on?

I got my 90gt back in 2002. I remember I lived at the local junk yard. I used 5.0 Resto but they didn't have the inventory like these places do today. There's really no reason to go to a shop unless it's something really complicated.

A buddy of mine took his 89 LX to get "freshened up." The shop did a great job with the paint but they totally butchered his wiring and hacked his factory harness up to install a start button because they couldn't get his ignition to work properly. It's not even a trick start up option, it's literally some generic black plastic button which looks like it's for some Marine application or out of bin at Home Depot.

Nice to see another well done ‘80’s T-Bird…..a car that definitely doesn’t get the attention it deserves. I’ve owned by ‘87 TC since 1991 that I bought from the original owner after he crashed it. Restored the car to original condition that same year. Since that time everything has been modded on it. Full suspension, Cobra brakes, interior updates and a supercharged built 5.0/5-speed swap back in 2003. Still own the car to this day and will never sell it.

i been wanting to do a coyote swap on my 06 f150 and 05 Linclon LS

Find a less expensive hobby that gives you joy..I understand his disappointment. My 3 month build has come to a stop.I missed the opening race bracket at my local track and every day since it opened..I just can't afford it anymore. Sorry guys I,m lossing the love for this hobby. You guys keep up the great content it was a joy to tune in and be apart of this greatness you shared.

R those seat covers on the seats ?

Brother, do you have a link to Adam’s shop?

I had a 89 Fox body. It was the worst car I ever owned once I started to upgrade for performance. If I changed one thing something else would go out. It was the biggest money put in my life.

OK, so one bird took a single shit, come on, wipe it off and move on.

Great video just did that on 86 GT .pumped fuel from gas tank via relay under driver seat walla ,good togo

Amazing. This is one of my dream builds.

To each their own i guess but these youtubers trends of looking and finding immaculate cars to modify just breaks my heart.

does the plug and play work right away place it and start if so mind does not it start but run rough and wull not idel can you help me maybe

Its possible to build one on a very tight budget if you just have patiences i found my 90gt roller for 300$ found a good 302 for 100$ and found a guy who sold me a complete t5 will bellhousing clutch flywheel and pressure plate for 500$ he even tossed in a full exhaust system he wasn't going to use along with a used fuel pump i got my car back together all in for under 1000$
