First wash in 16 years 85 mustang coupe notch

Trying to polish a turd after this 85 fox body mustang coupe notchback had sat for 16 years after being 5.0 5 speed ram air swapped by me almost 20 years ago

Going back to some older videos. I’m thankful for your persistence in these videos. The way you’ve been consistent in filming your hobby but over time have been able to bring more of yourself and personality and family and your editing skills to bring it all together to make it a weekly entertaining show is honestly really impressive. The effort that it must take to make the videos you make now vs these ones just 2 years ago must be huge. The mental effort and the time. It doesn’t go unnoticed!

[@susanwaltman2607]

I have a 1983 Mustang convertible. I have owned it since 1990 or 1991. They seem to have few admirers. I like it but few people do.

[@scottmoodysr9449]

Foxbody is my absolute favorite! I'm glad you're saving as many as you can! Great videos brother 👍

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you

[@itsmephil2255]

Not being American I hear 'foxbody' in a few videos but don't understand what it is Is it a chassis designation or something or was it designed by someone called Fox??

[@jerrydutra3225]

No problem! It will buff right out!

[@Sleeperdude]

That’s right

[@mackjenkins7721]

Man what a good video. This brings back so many memories for me man. I used to have an 85 Mustang 5.0 hatchback. I wanted Coupe too but couldn't find one. Man I miss my 85 so bad. I had a B303 cam , ported and Polished heads , port and polish intake , 4.10 gears , full exhaust ( shorty headers , 2 1/2 inch H pipe , 2 1/2 inch chrome tip exhaust ) cowl induction hood , selling wings , short shifter , framework man I had so much done to it. The only thing I kind of didn't like was the gas pedal was very very narrow like 3 inches wide. I know that wasn't the original Gas pedal. Picture a 6 1/2 inch wide foot against a 3-inch wide pedal. " LOL " the only good part about that was as wide as my foot is my foot would not touch the break pedal while driving but that's the problem I have right now when driving. When I'm driving with my foot being very extremely wide my foot would touched the gas pedal and the brake pedal at the same time. I can't tell you how many times I almost had an accident because of my foot being so wide. I have to look down at the pedals to see where my foot is. I have to drive my car barefooted 👣 I cannot keep my flip-flops on because of that problem. If I keep my flip-flops on I would have the same problem. That was the only problem I had with that Mustang. Also had a 93 Mustang 5.0 GT with same modification except it had 3.73 gears in it and it had the wide gas pedal on it & I didn't have that problem with my foot touching the brake pedal because of the way my foot would sit on the pedal but I still had to drive barefooted 👣 though. But boy do I miss both of my Mustangs. Having them both at the same time & park next to each other just thinking what day I was going to drive what. I had to sale them when I started having these kids. I had to sale my Mustang for these five boys I have. But it's all good cuz I love all five of my boys & The wide feet I gave them because I had to sell my Mustangs for them " LOL " thank you brother for the good memories man.

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you for watching

[@barrycarlisle4511]

There's something very therapeutic about watching the clean out process. I've done it dozens of times on old split window vw busses. And the witty dialogue is a bonus! Lol..

My brother bought a new 1984 302 5 speed when he was in the Air Force. That was a running son of a gun. It was light and would swap ends on dry pavement if you got on it real hard in first catch second it would go side ways or swap ends

My friends and I here in NY refer to Mustangs as “Me too” cars as in “Hey you have a Mustang? Yeah me too”. We can’t throw a rock across the parking lot without hitting at least 10 of the damn things.
