Everything You Need To Know About The New Roadster Shop Fox Body Chassis | SEMA Show 2024

[@89G]

I support any effort to keep the Fox alive and well. I dig it. Probably can't afford it, but my admiration runs deep for this company.

[@mikeyd3537]

That's love

[@turboflush]

I am older now.. and still poor. Lol Nobodies are not as common as when I was younger. Junkyard used to be full of them. Hard car to find these days. This is such a cool package though.

[@89G]

@@turboflush same here. I've had me 89 since 1995, and it's still in pretty good shape. My 88 would be a nice candidate for this. Not many Fox's in the wrecking yards here either. Side note... my 89 is where the name of my channel is derived.

[@Nick_B_Bad]

⁠@@89GMan your car looks good! Def got me envious. I miss being behind the wheel of a Fox or SN95. I’ve really been thinking about selling / trading my current fun car to get back into one.

[@89G]

@Nick_B_Bad thank you! Which one did you see? My white or blue GT? They are such fun cars.

[@GunnyNinja]

For future reference, we want to see the car, not the guy talking.

[@MisterMonsieur]

Most of these SEMA videos make the same mistake.

[@mazyata9958]

Exactly. Most KZbinrs do this. Focus on the car. You can keep talking. Put the camera on the subject. I skip every channel that does this.

[@sethjoyner391]

Worst cameraman ever😂

[@georgef1176]

Yup

[@richardpauza2075]

That Guy Answered Questions the Pictures Could Not...

[@Anonamy]

First the AE86 repro chassis and now this. It looks like 80's cars are here to stay and we might even start seeing 90's repros very soon.

[@ubacow7109]

Keep in mind this is just the chassis / frame rails basically. Roadster shop has been building these for various hotrods for years now.

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

Now we need RS to make a EG6 chassis.

[@hateforall4012]

I want my 85 Corolla gts back!

[@tepidtuna7450]

Amazing chassis engineering AND that display is next level work.

[@stephbarbershop2518]

for being a half built car its one of the most complete SEMA builds!

[@Wrangzilla]

My parents bought me a brand new 1993 teal green 5.0 Mustang for Christmas of 92. I think they were trying to kill me, but damn did I pull some ass.....

[@Garf2O]

Sounded like they was trying to get some grandkids pronto 😂

[@ATomRileyA]

That is pretty awesome, i am imagining and hoping you rolled around listening to Vanilla Ice - Rollin' in my 5.0 at least once :)

[@thetvbaby83]

You have some awesome parents bro 😂

[@devinshook1292]

Damn I couldn’t imagine lol I hope you take care of your parents in return

[@aceartdepot6198]

Haha sounds like my dad he always been a bmw person so in hs when he bought my 1st car he wouldn’t let me get anything else but that I was 17 in hs in 07 w a 05 3series Manuel coupe no1 else in my grade had a car I had a better car than a lot of my teachers I got hella ass from it 😂 I than sold that car to build my 1st race car so that didn’t last long lol

[@DCHutchins]

Always nice to hear someone who knows their product.

[@tombrown5508]

Now I can actually consider building the saleen fox body clone I’ve always wanted.

[@billybro1999]

These guys are literally re-engineering the foxbody. This is awesome

[@paulheywood2116]

Roadster shop are on another level

[@halrichard1969]

Man, Jeremy is an absolute Hot Rod Genius. Its a pleasure to listen to him talk shop. Engineering design for optimal suspension geometry. Chassis design for Exhaust routing. Stuffing wildly wide tires into an almost stock body. So many details filled into that brain.

[@puzzlefox5.076]

I love all the detail. Great to see a video with the experts that designed the chassis...versus others looking at the website and telling us what we can all see ourselves for 5 minutes of research. Great video!

[@richardpauza2075]

Fantastic Job Roadster Shop Crew..! Awesome Design Work..!!

[@mgbreis8506]

I'll never buy a RS chassis but I sure appreciate what they do.

[@ogsuperflygarage]

Great video! Definitely an awesome option for the Fox Community!

[@Anotherboost]

Checked out this model a few days ago. This would fix alot of issues with the fox body . Coyote with modern suspension and brakes. Yes please!

[@steveb8751]

is it even a foxbody at that point?

[@avgFloridian]

I have always wanted to build something like this to rebuild the '84 notch but... $15,500 ... probably a fair price, but I'll have to admire everyone else's instead. 😅

[@lloydeyler8608]

I was going to guess $15-20 Gs.

[@joshuapowers4623]

I mean honestly that's not bad at all. Buy a 4 cylinder on the cheap & all that's left is a an engine swap. Build the whole car for 20g ish, unless you go insane on an engine build.

[@BruceLee-xn3nn]

15,000 but everyone is supposed to be broke in the current economy

[@matthewguilford9340]

Now they need to build one for the 3rd gen Camaro

[@jesseaviman]

I can't wait to see some youtube videos of guys putting these on their cars!

More 80s and 90s aftermarket chassis coming. They are making AE86 unibodies in Taiwan now and the same company said they are going to do s13 notchbacks.

[@georgef1176]

Look at that front knuckle! It looks like it would have serious scrub radius. But knowing what these guys do it’s probably amazing. Great work. I’d say your OBS chassis is still the best recently made chassis you have done.

[@garymorehexhdrnplsplsx1102]

that's nuts! bolt and GO!

[@jefflindeman2145]

This is a amazing set up

[@cessealbeach]

I do own a Fox Body Mustang, This Chassis is another level, would Love to get this option, Keep my fingers crossed

[@dannycreech4177]

I want one for Christmas!!! 🎄🎁

[@gdavis2k2]

I am looking forward to getting one of these

[@phillyphil1513]

EPIC, my bud and i were just talking about the diabolical handling of Fox Body GT's this morning.

[@robertbarrett6910]

Would be an awesome base for a cobra kit.

[@Nedsped0]

Wow, thats changing the game, wish chevy had this that's awesome, I like ford's camber alignment because as a tech ford's camber shouldn't have to be adjusted unless in an accident

[@TonyBasuro]

The value of the convertable is gonna skyrocket!

[@AZ.BOT.]

I love these guys.... RS all the way.

[@KartiacKID]

This design is brilliant

[@mynameisfrank6519]

I have an 88 gt t top car that’s definitely getting this soon. I have an 87 t top that I have put $$$$ into chassis and suspension in the long run time and money and headaches this is a game changer.

[@bmacster1985]

Damn you got the last year of the t-top mustang. I've wanted one for the longest time, but I heard they are nightmares as far as leaks?

[@enacku]

that is incredibly impressive

[@KartiacKID]

Is it possible to get either a solid rear axil or rear independent suspension?

[@96MustangBoy1]

Cool!!! Now make an IRS for the chassis.

[@IamBlackMagic03]

I have a ton of stuff for my stock foxbody. New motor, trans, rear end, suspension, supercharger, etc. This would be killer to have, but im guessing this shit is crazy expensive

[@jeffreymorris4827]

$15,500 is not to bad for what you get.

[@IamBlackMagic03]

@jeffreymorris4827 true, still 15,500 still hurts! Lol

[@85Stang331]

That would look really nice under my 85GT

[@KartiacKID]

That’s completely awesome

[@shaun4bigblocks993]

WOW- SEMA just turned the Fox body into a GM A/G body!!

[@karls937]

This is super cool!!!!

[@BruceBusby]

Terrific attention to detail

[@timothymerson1243]

Awesome engineering 👏 bravo God bless you i was thinking about doing something like this for 4x4 trucks so that way the trucks drive straight down the road instead of crooked because there is a right to do things and a wrong way and THIS FOX BODY SUBFRAME IS GENIUS if I had a mustang I'd buy this in heartbeat because all I heard was sweet sweet music coming out this guy's mouth because he spoke THE TRUTH GOD BLESS YOU 🙌

[@rogerwilco5918]

Check out the factory 5 f150 pre runner conversion

[@shaun4bigblocks993]

My 82' lifted GM one ton drives strait as an arrow with a kingpin Dana 60 front...

[@RTDragonCommando]

A Watt's Link setup would have handled even better, and it seems like they had the space for it. Going full custom why not go for the best option? Though the truly best option would be IRS, but the (almost) bolt on option, the cobra IRS, doesn't seem like it would fit with this.

[@stevenlaxton3618]

That chassis with a 351w under a nice coupe body with cobra trim would be a sleeek little streetrod

[@JacobNNorton1982]

Now do a 3rd gen Camero!

[@shaun4bigblocks993]

Most GM guys who were not down with the pony car epedemic thing just got A/G bodies...

[@thomaswalkerbyrne1512]

The green silhouette of engines is the stock style small block and the last one is coyote, im fairly certain on that.

[@adambergendorff2702]

great video!

[@ianhallam9928]

A nice walk around/ close ups of the chassis would help

[@floordford1717]

So much Fox stuff can translate onto both SN95 platforms. So these mods could help all the way up to 2004.

[@Snowwarrior]

My mom brought me to high school in one of those!

[@AJHanna1982]

Man if i was rich and had the money i would definitely be putting one of these under my 84 Cougar in a heartbeat. Dreams we all have dreams.

[@waylonrichter1253]

good looking fox body lift kit

[@95Sn95]

If I was going this far of a build I wouldn't be going 8.2, 9.5 or coyote id be going GODZIRRA for sure, coyote is a twister and make big power with boost but a 445ci big block... Epic

[@-joe-davidson]

Cool... I hope they sell a lot of them.

[@SovereignKnight74]

Awesome! Just shared with a few of my friends! /subscribed

[@SimonCas]

Cool wish we knew what the chassis looked liked

[@AmericanThunder]

I'm surprised they didn't just use a Mustang II front suspension. Also, what is the weight of this full chassis addition?

[@informative_walrus]

For the fox enthusiasts that is a hell of a lot more successful than I am.😂

[@jongregg794]

Very cool!

[@avnut5517]

My fully built 89 was stolen. This would be a awesome replacement.

[@Root1966]

25th anniversary model. That must have been quite a shitty day. My brother crashed my dads 89. I now own the 91 insurance replacement.

[@DS-ss396]

Yeah...right.

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

@@Root1966 My favorite Mustang I owned was an ‘89 5oh LX 5spd. Only year to have massair and no extra weight of and airbag or rear shoulder restraints that came the next year. I sold it to my best friend because he needed a car, a week later he got rear ended in it racing a Murkr. I have an ‘88 t-top project now.

[@ISpinUWin]

I bought my ‘89 in ‘89… sold it in 2009. 505rwhp since ‘92. I miss it but I didn’t (and still don’t) have time to properly care for it.

[@Root1966]

@@aaronburratwood.6957 yea there was a few things I liked better on the 89 than the 91. Primarily what you mentioned, the airbags. The pre airbag steering wheel looked way better and had tilt. The fuse box on 90 and 91 is also in a lame position. I do like the Ponies better than the Turbines on the 89 though.

[@motownXJdad9565]

its neat, and im sure its not cheap so this wont apply to most foxbody enthusiasts. id rather have an all TeamZ suspension and cage. thats alot of money to spend and then still need a cage for safetey. cool for a stock cruiser that wants to run big wheels and tires.

[@focused313]

As others have said, I support all aftermarket options to keep older cars on the road. I'm a G-Body guy, but I appreciate all of this stuff. Some people really do like having option to save on labor prices by getting all of this stuff in one kit.

[@Haryazz]

my wildest child hood dream has come to fruition!!! now all wheel drive electric with a soft suspension, convertible calypso green. i nice 10 second cruiser

[@Gen01Lee]

Is there a Sema video or video\mock up of the F Body version?

[@LapoftheWorld]

Hard to tell from their site, but is there an IRS option? I know you can make a stick axle handle, but if you're going through the trouble/expense....

😆 I hated them because everyone had one.. Then I got one on 93 🤪 Still have it...

[@BikingVikingHH]

1:48 do a frame for a rascal scooter next.

[@gregl4244]

Man I love the Rascal! My grandpa had one that we used to work on back when he was a kid again.

[@thejester8136]

15/20k really doesn’t seem to bad when you factor in the price of all those parts for a oem chassis upgrade, especially the quality of this kit.

[@thejasonrk]

its actually about 30k by time you have the basic stuff needed, not counting the body, the motor etc, just what they show here.

[@lobojones6six6]

Roadster shop wins again!

[@duane5326]

This is really cool

[@96MustangBoy1]

From what I understand, the Fox chassis is pretty much the same as the sn95’s. So in theory this kit should fit in the sn95’s?

[@Mrchicity]

So does this chassis apply to the 94-03 cobra

[@scottgarmon4865]

I bought my coupe in 98 and still have it, Its right at 800wheel and hooks pretty good on the street for what it is but its still sketchy. If it knocks the tire off at 60 you better catch it. This chassis is a good concept, but at 16k…. For me Hooking up on the street is more important than ride quality.

[@jimmykelly5320]

This is nice

[@bobbyrogers7794]

That is so amazing

[@thehawk05]

Roadster Shop crushing it again

[@VictorSanchez-kp9nt]

Roof skins should be next.

[@95Sn95]

Soooo is the roadster shop going to build a SN version of the fox chassis? There are a pile of SN cars out there and some high-end builds. They are really catching traction these days because like it or not they are just refined "fox body" but even tho there a fox body no one refers to them as a fox body even tho they actually are a foxbody and most parts are interchangeable especially a 94/95 SN where they still have the foxs 5.0HO. but SN's don't look the same so that's a big factor for fox fans. The SN they are a really cool generation they have a fox chassis and went from a 5.0 pushrod engine then the 4.6 2v, 4.6 2v PI, hand built Cobra 4.6 4v and a hand built race parts 4.6 4v with an Eaton supercharger, that's a lot of power train options in 1 generation of mustang and every engine is a great engine (even the unloved 2v 4.6)

[@darrenhankner5282]

how much is it??? where can it be ordered??

[@blackwolfthedragonmaster]

Amazing. Please do S13 silvia xxx

[@rideshareog]

Capt Kirk called, the starship Fox body in the house.

[@tw0pers0nalities]

Nice setup. Seems like a race/drag version would have been better. If I'm spending that kind of money on a car for show, it's going to be the real thing.........

[@Nevaloud]

I love that this dude is so excited to talk about it. My guy behind the camera may be a potato. Lol. A channel named Ford Muscle, you'd think he would be a little more energetic about this.

[@shaun4bigblocks993]

Possibly because the Foxbody Mustang was considered a pony car and not a muscle car???.

[@clydemccall8679]

You gotta think he has to tell this story to 500 different people

[@cornercarverfan]

@Ford Muscle, any price points discussed for this?

[@heavytank2]

I am sure we are talking Tesla prices, CAD design, forging their own parts, etc... $50K chassis, $100k built out. More than likely.

[@MisterMonsieur]

@@heavytank2 Base price of $15,495 without options, which can add another $10,000. Lay off the crazy pills.

[@davidarich2]

$15 to $20k plus on the roadster shop website depending on options you spec out

[@mankihonda983]

I mean okay they modeled one really well preserved late Fox....Have they seen how inconsistent these cars were dimensionally right from the factory? I'm sure it will bolt on if you drill the holes big enough :D

[@hoponspot]

I need a 99-06 Silverado chassis from them!

[@shaun4bigblocks993]

You already have a ladder box chassis, silly!!

[@shafferjoe1962]

The big quotation is, how much does it cost?

[@OEMPlus]

this is WILD dude

[@blksn8k]

So could this be adapted for any Fox body platform, like the '83-88 T-Bird which had a 3.7" longer wheelbase?

[@shaun4bigblocks993]

I wonder how hard that would be- I always thought "derived from the Fox platform" meant sticking with the new age pony car uni-body concept as opposed to the ckassic muscle car ladder box concept??

[@paulmorris1834]

His input is really interesting. I think just watching rolling clips doesn’t inform as well

[@BlackCobraSVT]

“Mmhmm” 42x per minute lol great interview

[@ToddMcF2002]

A chassis? Pretty cool but how about basics like door bottom patch panels and cowls. And more interior parts for 79-86 including HVAC controls and a dash shell. Accurate interior fabrics
