I despise people who destroy cars .someone could have been needing that part.!!!!

[@PolecatCreekGarage]

the switches on the dash are for fog lights and the rear window defrost if equiped or the convertable top

[@hicountrytm]

Why so destructive.... someone watching might need that part.

[@dougj.8288]

That was my thought exactly, that dude seems a little slow at times.

[@maxnichols1727]

Great video. You look like a kid in a candy store. Go for it. If you don't do it now, you will regret it in the future. Look forward to all the videos on the FOX.

Check the roof line just above the windshield and make sure there's no bondo filler up there. If there is then the hood has blown up and that's probably what collapsed the cowl like that.

It is hard to grasp that a car made in 1991 is 30 years old.

[@ryanhawkins1235]

The 1965 Mercury Montclair with that roll down back window was call a breeze way as it was an option. My grandparents on my mom's side had the none breezeway version and it was like the biggest car they ever had. The Lincoln "emblem" as you called it on the Town Car that is on a spring is called a hood ornament. The Town Cars are nice as I have a stock 96, a 69 F100 Ranger with Explorer package B and 03 Ranger extended cab.

[@austincooper566]

That center console said fuck you Shawn built ford tough 😂😂😂👍💪

[@enjoythesho1992]

Yea lkq is doing that now if you don't say you don't want a extended warranty they Charge you for it lol I asked the same thing why do I need a extended warranty on a damn sun visor and headliner I made them give me my money back

[@jeffdavis1766]

The gold wheels look like American Racing Gold nuggets is what they were called back in the day. We had a Custom Van and 4 wheel drive shop and installed many of them.

[@frank3stangs]

Hood came up! Someone fixed it with a new grill and bondo! Make sure the safety latch is installed!

[@erneststanley4854]

I think those wheels were called modulars or the old slang term was bullet holes.

[@kennethelliott2267]

The cowl is a huge job on these. 1st take a deflated football and blow it up and see how much it pops the dent back out if it not bad it usually works. But yeah just sawzall a good one from the junk yard out and then start de spot welding the old one . Junk yard dawgz on you tube has a how to on the cowl. You should grabbed the 5 lug swap from the junk yard front 94-95 spenders and brakes and rear axles from a square body ranger and for areo star vans. Grab 3:73 and 4:10 gears out for explores .

[@dionrau5580]

Western wheels, is All I can remember,had some on my 78 ranchero gt

[@darnellthompson668]

Try looking under American Racing for that style of wheel.

[@russelladams6432]

Yep. My friend in high school had the same wheels on his 65 Galaxee. American Racing was the brand of his. His were dark grey in the middle with the chrome rivets. Nice looking, cheap old school style wheels IMO.

[@MattSkiDooFord]

Left bezel switch is for fog lights on bottom but only GTs had fogs. 4cyl AC condenser is the same as 8cyl. Also 90-93 fenders have different wheel openings than 87-89

[@richardbates2367]

And honestly if it wasn't for the fact I had 3 running fairly solid gbody cars 2 86 Oldsmobile 307 v8 Buick Regal sport coupes, and a 85;gold 3.8 231v6 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme brougham all three cars were around 135, miles the titled 86 was my daily driver and was medium gm grey metallic had 139, miles other 86 Buick regal sport coupe had a salvage title so no title and had almost perfect interior except the top of the rear seat, and great sounding drivetrain and my fairly clean faded red with black pinstripe 82 Chevy k20 Silverado 6.2 litre vin Z 4speed longbed farm truck I'd have bought the 93 235, miles 4cyl 5speed Calypso green metallic mustang I have mentioned when my best friend got a new car.. cowl panel correct me if I am wrong guys, but most cut the top of the cowl panel off and reweld a new one in, but required completely removing the windshield and hood..

[@ronspaeth6649]

Rims on the 84 F150 are actually Cragar Quick Trick.....had them on my 76 Cougar back in the day

i’m jealous, most of the salvage yards here in Houston look at you crazy if you ask for parts for fox body mustangs😳🤷🏿‍♂️🥲🥲🥲

[@kb01663]

Please don't get rid of the 5.0 badges, those are stock anyways. Hey I would recommend running a 94-95 (96-04 had different suspension geometry) front spindle for your 5 lug swap. because when I did mine i had mounting issues with the wheels, cuz the fox hub sticks out farther, then you can run any 94-04 wheel no issues. For paint I think you should go for a red or maroon with the body molding in black

[@neil6212]

Bumper peeling? Possibly bad prep, and/or wrong kind of paint. They make a type of paint for just this application. Hope you take it back to original paint color, but use "modern" paint. (base coat, clear coat) And fix the A/C. I can't even guess how hot that car will get without it!

[@jackhowell8708]

Left the video and unsubscribed after Shaun kicking the center console armrest. Respect for other people’s property is a value. Leaving things better - or at least no worse - than you found them is also a value. So what if it’s “just” a wrecked car in a junkyard? It belongs to someone else. What if someone kicked your truck? Vandalism.

[@roygustafson727]

I’m sure you probably already know but that dash switch you pointed to is for the GT For Lights🙏🏼😇🙏🏼😎

[@richardbates2367]

I myself actually I think I prefer the 94-96 body mustang and Ford Thunderbird cars, but as far as the fox body cars the mercury Capri are the ones I'd prefer because of the dash and I like the back end hatch and taillights more than the other ones.. the wheels are American racing outlaw, usually refered to as the chrome and golden nugget wheels.. had a unilug set of 14x7 golden nugget wheels for my 84 Oldsmobile Cutlass supreme brougham..

[@jamesshaw194]

Those gold center wheels are original American Racing Wheels. I bought a set for my 56 Chevy project in 1985. Then they were discontinued when American went broke a few years later. I needed two more & it took me 10 years to find two more. There was a company that bought all the old inventory… try EBay. They are original Americans.

[@trevorc4786]

Either LMR, 5.0Resto, or Scott Rod Fab makes a whole replacement cowl. And also, a trick for that cowl, stick a deflated football under it and then Inflate it and it should pop up back into place 👌

[@motownXJdad9565]

it runs like a bucket of hot ass, why are you painting the car first????? lol make ir run right then worry about the body. convertible doors are also T-top doors on mustangs and capris. when you forget the hood pins, and your cowl hood blows up while driving, it crushes your cowl panel. LMR may make a repair kit for that.

[@realmaindrianpace]

1) The hood latch failed in the past, and the hood popped open at speed. Very common aero foxbody failure with aftermarket hoods. Keep the latch adjusted and lubricated at all times. 2) someone jacked it up by the pinch weld under the fender, a hammer and a block of wood will fold it back in and the fender should line back up. 3) the Mercury Pent Roof valve covers are very desirable, $100-150 as they are there. 4) Lower switch under the headlight switch is for fog lights on the GT. 5) The gold center steel wheels - we used to call them Pep Boys modulars back in the '80s. They were made by American Racing and several other companies. 6) The door trim on the LX convertible is what you need for your car, the GT trim is different. 7) Keep in mind that the '87-'90 fenders are different than '91-'93, which have bigger wheel openings for the 16 wheels. The front lower trim panels are different to match the fenders. Thanks for allowing me to share my trove of largely worthless Ford knowledge.

[@DominatorGarage]

You've never done a cowl in mustang then. You will have to basically weld channels from post to post. Big job.

[@colbytrenge7094]

I think the wheels on that truck were called golden nuggets. They’re an American racing outlaw wheel I think? We have a set on one of our foxes. And good luck with the fox cowl, chances are the hood flew up on your car while driving and that’s what damaged it.

[@jasonpetrich4141]

I would leave the hood a cowl induction. It's designed to pull air under the hood.. edit. :::: you can get those gold rims online. I think they were from modern, or American racing, or ultra. They are from the 90s

[@whatsreallygoingon253]

My first car was a 82 metalic blue notvh back 4cylender 4 speed fox body man it was fun little car

[@i-still-cruz2430]

The Fox body cars were notorious for panels not lining up the best even when new. Just keep that in mind when you do the body/prep work. Just don’t stress out trying for perfection, lol

[@ryangleason6006]

Deflate a football and put it where the dent is then air it up and it should push most of the dent out

[@morgansword]

If you even have the time to read these comments then my hats off to you as you are loaded with more work than a full time garage. Its not a bad thing but its a nuisance to you for getting anyone project finished. It won't be me that jacks on you as your work is real quality work and that says quite a bit for someone who is a school full time student. I used to see those gold center wheels on all the broncos back in the eighties. Should be a ton of them that are rusty but clean ones like in the yard are hard to find. I don't know why as I just didn't like the fox when new but it grew on me later in life. Wondering if a person could cut the cowl out with something and spot weld it back in one again.... just a idea and no more. I like the lope on the engine but a little higher rpm for oil pressure to stay up would seem to make sense. If your happy then ignore that statement

[@DominatorGarage]

Don't do the cowl that way bud. It'll rust back. The way its made need to cut and replace properly.

[@rawdyrider]

That black hood aint lookin half bad btw.Black is suiting the car.Either that or paint it white.(Not standing out in the open air with dust around)!Start with mechanicals then go over to the aesthetics....

[@stangman1268]

american racing modular wheels they came in black insert,gold insert and chrome similar to the wheels you had on the white galaxie except for the round holes.

[@philipbohlinger4150]

I replaced the cowl on mine because the previous owner hacked it up to fit an intercooler. I've done paint and body most of my life and would never want to tackle another one. Try desperately to repair it first.

[@i-still-cruz2430]

I have a feeling the hood flew up with someone in the past. Thus the cowl damage. I think LMR sells them to replace

[@brucesvt96]

Look up gear head 704 he has a how to fix the cowl

so glad to see another person that hates cowl hoods. no way i would put one on anything i own. the exception may be something like the teardrop fords of the 60s. i still prefer a flat hood.

[@BackWoodsPerformance67]

What are those golf wheels I’ve got a set on my 71 the gold Bullet hole looking wheels

[@papatango5082]

looks like the hood wasn't latched and it flew up bending the cowl, but it looks like they replaced the plastic piece and decided to bondo it after they realized, like you did that the cowl doesn't unbolt.

[@sjd73ss]

That cowl is welded in and the reason its bent is because the hood flew open at one time and bent the hell out of it. It seems to be a common problem on foxbodys they must of had issues with latches

[@Dave_Boyer]

That car has had a hard life...good thing you can buy a lot of parts for those.

[@donfoster393]

Shove a deflated football in the cowl and then pump it up to remove most of the dent. Most of the time the hood flips up while driving and damages the cowl.
