18 months, that's dedication... And a thick wallet 😂

[@GearHead704]

LOL, super dedicated for sure.

[@atarheelchamp199]

@@GearHead704 ask him if he wants to sell it

[@robertc1220]

Dom,really has a unique insight for his build,the interior is well designed,gauges compliment the look,not to mention engine bay nicely done.

[@GearHead704]

Couldn't agree more!

[@paulhudgins5120]

Wow what a super clean, well built, 88 GT. Love the engine and engine bay, a lot of man hours spent on this one. What a great looking car, Thanks Matt.

[@GearHead704]

So much work, but well worth it. Thanks for the support as always Paul.

[@ThyHolyNickel94]

One of the most tastefully done fox bodies I've ever seen, damn I would love to have this thing!

[@GearHead704]

Definitely agreed

[@mji387]

I was amazed when I saw this car at foxtoberfest & glad I was able to talk to Dom about it. Hats off to him for a knocking it out in the time he did. So glad you did a review on this car.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Mike, I can't believe I missed it at Foxtoberfest, but that's cool you got to talk to him about it.

[@seanmc8340]

You of all poeple know how much it takes to get these cars to a certain level even just daily driver level, would love to see more down to earth maybe even still in the resto process cars. I like that you give people their 15 mins but would still like to see more of your cars. Love the channel long time subscriber!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks for all the support. Hope you enjoyed the recent feature on my vert that Chris from TIP did.

[@BrotherTom]

What a nice build and Dom is a great guy! Met him at Ford Takeover. Funny how you can talk to someone at a show and not realize you've been following and chatting with them on IG forever haha! Really Great Video Review Matt!

[@GearHead704]

LOL, you are right Tom! I had no idea hahah. I'm glad you met him in person.

[@MrDroogii]

That is one beautiful ride. Nice work taking care of the strut towers.

[@GearHead704]

Yes he did a fantastic job and it turned out great.

[@JKennedySVT]

The ending was 😂. It funny how we chat with so many people on Instagram but don’t always put the name with the face.

[@GearHead704]

Man, he really caught me Josh! lol, yeah I finally put it together.

[@ogsuperflygarage]

Totally awesome Foxbody! 💯 Just when I thought I saw the cleanest Fox… This one comes along! 👊🏾

[@GearHead704]

Right! It won an award at Chocolate Fox too

[@rolandrodriguez7145]

That is great styling 'that's what I'm talking about 'when you love a fox there's no limit to resto addiction

[@GearHead704]

Couldn't agree more

[@dimpledchimpy1106]

That paint job is immaculate.

[@GearHead704]

Agreed, even better in person.

[@detroitsniper9399]

Absolutely GORGEOUS Mustang and, without a doubt, one I would be extremely proud of & couldn't help putting WAY too many miles on it then I should... but, I figure it this way, I'd be building it to drive as much as possible, not admire it from afar. P. S. that color and engine are perfect.

[@GearHead704]

Couldn't agree more. Dom did an amazing job.

[@myeighty-nine7813]

I feel like ive been waiting for ever for some vids man, can't wait for the next one!

[@patsfan8057]

Nice job, Dom! I love those gray shades too. My '88 is Smoke Gray from the factory. Thanks GH704 for the share!

[@chrisplace3024]

Good seeing you hope you and the family are doing well.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks doing great and same to you

[@brooksbjorklund6175]

I thought he would be wound pretty tight at the end of a quarter mile with those gears! It was neat that he happened to confirm. It would have been a shame if it came apart in that nice engine bay! Sweet car!!

[@GearHead704]

Yes, I would've thought so too. Good to know for sure.

[@Poohdaddymagic]

That color is 🔥🔥🔥

[@GearHead704]

Definitely

Awesome mustang GT Nice build great video!!! 😎

[@GearHead704]

Such a nice clean build! Thanks man

[@johnbrooks2122]

Beautiful just beautiful!!!

[@GearHead704]

Agreed. He did a great job with it.

[@spassmore8483]

I love this car it's beautiful I love the dark shadow gray with the Chrome 03 04 cobras it just completely goes together and like you were saying with the Chrome and the carbon fiber it kind of just goes perfect with that car I'm not a big fan of it but in this fox I would definitely have to say it goes great! I used to have a 92 that was a similar color with chrome bullit wheels on it and it had a 331 that was built pretty badass & a tremec... I had to SLOW50 on the license plate LOL!!! it was pretty quick tho! Another great video Matt thanks for covering all the stuff that some of us miss bro!

[@GearHead704]

I agree, it just compliments the look so well! It's my pleasure really and I'm glad you guys get to enjoy it too

[@alertgasper]

clean and connected as absolute F--the grey and the polished and the carbon fiber aren't fighting against each other and work with the smoked 'lights, too. I wonder what black spoked Bullitt rims would look. the modern 5.0 badges are a sweet touch, too. And doing this in a storage chamber with cold weather? gosh, i remember being that young....:) I had to laugh when he said, "not much rust" and then listed all that had to get redone. Living in the snow belt does that to you--not much rust means you can't drop a bowling ball thru most of the sheetmetal.

[@GearHead704]

I'm so glad you watched and liked this video! It doesn't get near enough love. He didn't even better on his vert if you can believe that.

[@Foxbody832]

Just pick up 4 foxes and one of them is similar to that color! This channel got me excited and back into doing foxes again. Keep up the great content!

It's ok, you're in good company.

[@randalcoffman1979]

Wow

[@kevz557]

If I was to invest the money for a 347 to reach 400 horse I'd rather invest a little more and start off with a 351 Windsor . Then move to a 408 to reach 500-600 horse

[@GearHead704]

I think it's ok either way. Just depends on what you're going for.

[@hunternewby5727]

Then add hood clearance, brake clearance, more expensive intake. If you’re not racing, a 347 is a great platform.

[@kevz557]

@@hunternewby5727 The hood is called the Cowl & unless you're doing a aftermarket Block . On a stock block you run issues with the top ring due to how high the piston rises + you're getting 99,000 miles till refresh . I'd go with a 331 set up . MUCH better & lasts longer especially with a turbo or power adders . When it comes to the brakes those upgrades aren't necessary for the street . If you want to run in Street Outlaws or have a 1/4 mile track car then those upgrades are needed so why spend all that flow unnecessarily ?

Sweet. I had an 88 GT with around 300hp with tfs heads and E303 cam and such, and 86 SVO and a 92 GT. These are decent cars and last pretty good. My biggest problem was traction... I hated getting beat by turning 4 AWD cars with half the power lol. Check out why I chose the 335xi as a platform! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIPLcmqVm7KGoM0

[@GearHead704]

Yes traction is always going to be a challenge for sure in that situation.

[@1SIK335]

@@GearHead704 yep. I'll never own a car again without AWD

[@midnight347]

400hp out of a 347 someone dont know wtf they are doing . ive always got 500 or more out of 347s

That was to the wheels not the crank I believe

[@spano_5.053]

Yes out of the rear wheel. It’s on a safe tune at the moment. I’m installing the Holley terminator x

[@midnight347]

400 wheel from a 347 is decent. You can get much higher with a less streetable setup. Not everyone wants absolute max peak power they want something that has a broad power curve and good average power aka a good street motor.
