FOX BODY REHAB | DRIVELINE D-I-Y | Episode 4

[@rlscustoms]

I’m all for nostalgia and understand the concept of this particular build replicating a period build but to put all the power into that chassis, going through the trouble and expense of a built rear end and then run stock brakes whoa that one got me 😳

[@alertgasper]

true! even an OEM 8.8 could use Lincoln brakes to replicate the SVO Mustang, or there's plenty of mustang club chat boards about upgrading to Sn95/Cobra brakes, and then there's the aftermarket. I do agree with the new brake lines, however, they're cheaper than blowing out a line. Not a giant fan of spherical rod ends on rear suspension, usually you use a Watts link to keep a solid axle from moving side to side--that seems to just rely on the lower control arms to do more work than with the stock setup.

Well well one step closer to achieve the goal.

I've always enjoyed the 5.0 fox bodies. Great cars. 👍 My fun ride is my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a 400 based 512 stroker with Trick Flow 240 heads and a hydraulic roller cam with 254 duration @.050 with 618 lift, backed by an A833 4 speed manual. 👍

Great series

Looks like you dropped the lca mounting position at the axle significantly from stock which lowers the car, better anti-squat but ride height will go down. That fox rear 4 link likes a low ride height if the antisquat is right though, roll that fender and tuck the tire.

the rust preventative paint is UV sensitive? seems cheaper to use regular paint and bake it in an oven, or for parts that will get hot, engine paint.

When Mr Musto commented on cuts, scrapes, and bruises - I think a car really becomes mine once it's got some of my blood on it. Now it belongs to all of them. I wonder if the new control arms will transmit more force to the unibody. Is there a concern for that and the unibody? Nice progress gentlemen, as I write each time, thank you for bringing us along ~ Chuck

It was kinda painful you didn't go with rear discs with all the rear end work, but understand "staying the course" I guess.

I doubt the guy with white hair has ever had to use hand cleaner in his life. Junior does all the actual work !
