Amazing job and thank you to everyone at FoxRest, Matt, Jenn and Della! Amazing team that they have over there! And thank you again Matt for a great video! Hope to see everyone at FoxResto on 4/16!!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Rob, definitely the team at FMR deserve all the credit. Looking forward to seeing you on the 16th.

[@KASLCustoms]

One of my absolute favourite fellas to chat with on IG and YT! Ron, that car is an absolute beauty 😍. Thank goodness there are folks out there like Matt and the folks at Fox Resto that can help us preserve these awesome cars. Great job as always Gearhead - killing it 💪🦊💚

[@blueknights7576]

Coming from you that means a lot brother!! Can’t say enough great things about that whole crew over at FoxResto! They are absolutely amazing!

[@KASLCustoms]

@@blueknights7576 awe thx pal!!! I sure hope I get the chance to meet the folks there and tour the shop 😁😁😁

[@GearHead704]

Would definitely love to have you come down and do a tour sometime. They actually have an open house planned during Foxtoberfest if you can make it.

[@KASLCustoms]

@@GearHead704 that would be awesome!!!

[@BrotherTom]

I'm just here for the bloopers haha. I love videos like this one, Matt! That smile on Ron's face says it all. Congrats on finding such a nice fox, Ron!

[@GearHead704]

I love it when people watch for the Bloopers! LOL. Yesh he was super happy and it was great to see!

[@johnlocklear]

Now I see why theres a wait for my 92 Notchback to get its inspection at Fox Resto. Can't wait to be contacted for my drop off. I got lots of plan's for my car and look forward to working with Matt and the crew to make it 100%.

[@GearHead704]

Yeah they are really busy right now, but I know they'll get you fixed up!

[@red_fox_flareside]

Currently looking at a black vert! It’d be my first Fox body. Great video as always!

[@GearHead704]

Yesssss! Vert Gang!

[@victoriabreece2857]

Great video Matt! Matt and the Fox Resto team do such a fantastic job. I know Ron will smile every time he drives his Fox. Thanks to them, I know I do!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Victoria! I agree with you. Something about white convertibles really get attracted to FMR LOL

[@joncarnes5100]

I enjoyed this one almost as much as a roast video. I had the full roast treatment a couple of months ago and I'm slowly working on the repairs. I think the thing I enjoy the most about the videos with Matt is the fact that he is so giving with his knowledge. I learn stuff every time you feature him in a video. Keep up the good work!

[@GearHead704]

Yes, I thought it would be nice to switch it up for a change. Matt is such a wealth of knowledge, I always learn something new.

[@timzzz9963]

I really feel the pain when matt was talking about weather strip on verts. Great video!

[@GearHead704]

I bet you do Tim and thanks!

[@owen9669]

That’s my dads car. He loves the work you guys did a lot

[@GearHead704]

Great to hear Owen! He seemed really happy with what FMR did.

[@mji387]

Matt is a pro with foxbodys. Great video 👍🏻

[@GearHead704]

Totally agree! Thanks Mike.

[@robertc1220]

Doc Fox, knows mustang's.Thinking ,Matt could put a how to manual together.

[@GearHead704]

I think he certainly could. I still see him crack open the Ford manuals sometimes though LOL

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. They did a lot of work on that car. Looks amazing. Keep the content coming. Hope you and TIFF have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT

[@GearHead704]

Hey Tim, thank and we will and yes the team at FMR does a great job.

No I found out about fox 🦊 mustang resto through your channel as well

[@GearHead704]

Awesome, glad to hear it Carlos.

Yeah he's real happy with it for sure.

[@blackenigma1054]

That’s very interesting, i didn’t know that Luk made the clutch for ford🤔

[@GearHead704]

Yes this was the first time I realized it too actually.

[@deadriseful]

It was a blast doing a quick detail on the car before it left Saturday. It's a little sad to know it's gone now though. See yall tomorrow :)

[@blueknights7576]

Thank You Sir!!

[@deadriseful]

@@blueknights7576 it’s all good mate! We can’t let amazing Foxes like yours go out with some dust and dirt on them.

[@deadriseful]

@@blueknights7576 can’t wait to see it again at the National Mustang Day Event we’re putting on!

[@GearHead704]

You did a good job with it, and yes see you very soon!

[@spassmore8483]

Matt you pick some good cars to feature on your channel that is definitely a beautiful 87 vert. that would be a great car to add to the collection that tar heel Nemesis and your GT would be a great collection to have Matt! so matt & Fox resto team definitely did an amazing job on that car with the weather stripping and the windows lining up probably better than factory I'm definitely digging it is that what tarheel used to look like before the paint job and everything when you first got it?? have a good one talk to you another time... keep up the great vids

[@GearHead704]

Hey Shifty, and thanks I try and feature cool Foxbody's! That is what the paint looked like before, great catch! Kind of a jr tarheelfox lol

[@thefoxchamber]

Great video

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Jim!

[@patsfan8057]

Awesome job! Hoping to see some how to videos for those of us who want to do the same with our cars!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks, we've got a decent list of How To's on the channel here in a PlayList, but always room for more for sure.

[@joepiazza3037]

Great video thxs 👍

[@GearHead704]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nicholaskelley4191]

Love the content, every video i keep having interal wars wether to mod mine or not beings its stock still

[@blueknights7576]

I think I am in the minority but I prefer stock over modded any day of the week.

[@GearHead704]

They both can be a lot of fine if done the right way.

[@paulritchie8873]

good stuff.. Wish FoxResto was closer I need a pro to work out all the demons..

[@GearHead704]

They do a great job.

Nice video Matt!!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Frank.

[@jeffreytaite2869]

Congratulations NC, in beating UCLA. If they go all the way and win the Nat'l Championship, the team should take a pic with Tar Hill Fox.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks and sorry for responding late! It was great to see them beat Dook on the way to the national championship game. Maybe if they won it I could've request that photo! LOL

[@jeffreytaite2869]

@@GearHead704 I wish I had known before you drilled into your trunk lid. It looked like you used a wood bit. I have a set of collars you can put on your bit and tighten the set screw at desired depth, Matt should know about them. I'm 70 and still climbing on, in and under cars. 😆 Hope to have my 87 Foxbody Hatch ready to drive to the Woodward Dream Cruise in Aug. I'm only about 40mi's away. Maybe I'll have it painted by then...possibly by Adam at Hunts Body Shop. I have a Harley Road King that's Sinister Blue Pearl, would like to match my car to it, if not I like the Carbonized Gray BREW2L Painted his project car. All the best Jeffrey aka Bronze Eagle, maybe I should be Bronze Eagle Fox. 😄

@@jeffreytaite2869 Appreciate that and no worries. Bronze Eagle Fox that's way cool! Go for it.

Amazing job Fox Resto

Yeah, I think they did great.

Foxresto should do a hinge pin video. Show us a good way to do it.

We may do that one day!

Noted. Will try to do that one day.

@@GearHead704 you guys are Godsends.

[@Driver_Joe]

I might need to check my o-rings in my a/c because i have a slow leak.

[@GearHead704]

Worth checking out, definitely did the trick for me.

[@GentStyle]

Great video guys! What does a restoration like this run you $ wise? And do you work on Sm95’s?

[@blueknights7576]

This is a hard question to answer only because it varies tremendously on parts. I specifically requested OEM parts whenever possible which can be quite a bit more expensive than say a generic or aftermarket part.

[@GearHead704]

As Ron mentioned, it's really tough to say as so much goes into it. Matt does provide estimates for his customers though.

[@rr122608]

Is it possible to know what price range a job like that is? I would love to ship my Foxbody to Matt to get it running like new again. I have a 1992 fox that my dad gave me after graduating high school. He bought it in 1999 from his friend with 50K miles. I remember driving back home with him. It currently has 186K miles and it runs okay. Thanks for the awesome videos, Matts!

[@GearHead704]

Hey Ruben. That 92 sounds great! Best bet to give pricing is start by giving FoxResto a call at 704 888 1278

[@jordannorman1314]

Yes folks. For about 20 k you can fix your beer can foxbody up
