[@ryanpatrick3347]

He is a great inspiration to us all and an amazing person who I hope to meet at a show one day and shake his hand . Hell of job

[@GearHead704]

Agreed and you will not regret meeting him. He is just an amazing genuine guy.

[@paulhudgins5120]

What a great story, from what happened to him last year having his car getting totaled to finding the will & determination to make his new masterpiece in a very short time , to make it back to Mustang week is nothing but amazing, and so is his one of a kind Fox.

[@GearHead704]

Paul you've said it all. I couldn't agree with you more.

[@Got_Boost]

Exactly why you can’t have nice things…. Other people can ruin them🤦🏽‍♀️

[@sarahelrod2892]

that's my brother! love you bro

[@GearHead704]

Oh that's awesome, you have a great bro!

[@SpAzZzZz_]

Can you tell me the paint code or name for the blue fox body in the thumbnail

[@ogsuperflygarage]

Great guys! It's wonderful the way the Fox Community including the vendors stepped up to help him out! The Fox Community is truly one of a kind!!

[@GearHead704]

Hey Superfly! Yes they definitely did, was great to see.

[@BrailsfordsRides]

I can't imagine that feeling Brian had. If I lost my Boss I'd be devastated due to all the family memories I've got with the car

[@GearHead704]

Same, but glad to see how he was able to recover

[@BrotherTom]

You can tell how passionate Brian is about the car and how sincere he is for all the help along the way. Very inspirational story. Beautiful car, great build!

[@GearHead704]

Definitely agree Tom! And yes, I still sadly haven't upgraded my GoPro with what I should to get rid of the wind lol, thanks for hanging in there on this one.

[@chapmanmerchant]

My favourite year of the Mustang! Personally, because my mom in 1992 bought a automatic 5.0 same body. And that car man every time I would hear that as a kid arcing up.

[@GearHead704]

It's always the memories.

[@Jstall7543]

Man What A Beautiful 5.0!👊🏻

[@GearHead704]

It really is!

[@oldfoxdude6071]

I got the pleasure of meeting Brain at Mustang Week 22 and getting a few pics of Kona 2. We were there last September and it was heartbreaking for everyone what happened. For him to pull this together in such a short time was amazing. Much respect to him and thank you for telling this story.

[@GearHead704]

I'm glad you got to meet him in person! And the pleasure was all mine, I'm really glad he let me do a video on it.

[@dannysublett1014]

Brian and Joey are both such great guys. They are both very friendly and helpful to anyone who wants to learn anything about working on these Mustangs. I was fortunate to meet them both this past MW and now I call them both friends. Brian inspired me so much that I bought a 91GT myself and already have it on the road with alot of hard work the last 3 months. Thanks for making this video.

[@GearHead704]

I agree with you for sure. Absolutely great stand up guys! That is so cool you are going down the road in your 91 now too! It was my pleasure to make the video.

[@rizodarocker9810]

These are the stories that keep me into mustangs. Been following both of these guys for a while and they are awesome in the way they give out knowledge when you ask for a wheel spec or parts advise. Keep motivating the masses! And thanks for such a great video of bringing to story to real life is such a great way!

[@GearHead704]

I've gotten a bit of hate on this video, so thanks so much for your kind words. Both of them are great guys and very helpful for sure.

[@jamespurvis8880]

About 2 weeks ago, I got my 90 SSP Notch out of storage after almost 15 years. When I put it in storage, It had a fresh Kona Blue metallic paint job that just needed to be put back together. At one time someone stole my side windows but luckily I found another pair that just needed refinishing. But I'm glad that I didn't just get rid of it when I had a big family to raise. So now I have to make some decisions on Interior and final look of the car. Congratulations on a fine build! Great video as usual!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks James and I"m so glad you held on to your Koni, good luck on finishing it and putting it back together!

[@matmurray7351]

What a great build! So nice to hear about the fellowship within the Mustang community that reached out to help and support him in his time of need. Very reassuring. Hopefully they caught the guy that rear-ended him.

[@GearHead704]

Yes the community really rallied and that was awesome to see. They did catch him and he want to jail.

[@jordonfletcher1410]

One of the best looking stangs I've seen buddy awesome job good to see you fought and pulled through and built this one

[@GearHead704]

Agreed, Brian did amazing to bring it back.

[@mchristr]

Finally, a car with proper wheel/tire fitment. Yes it takes time and money to do it correctly but what other choice is there? Nicely done.

[@GearHead704]

Agreed, he killed it with the wheel/tire fitment.

[@gr8tfoxes617]

Great review Matt! I was waiting for you to post this. We were so, so blown away when Brian’s car incident happened. Brian has a level of drive and passion with perfection that is envious!!! Brian, sorry I missed you at MW this year but Damn brother you killed it again! I spotted your car at the show and said, “man this sure looks like Brian’s old car” with the PA plate and when I seen the entry tag and it was you I was like “hell ya”. I know what the previous car took getting together and to see this in 8 months is truly amazing. As MW and Foxtoberfest have been our common grounds to getting together, I look forward to seeing you and this “unicorn” hopefully next week at Foxtoberfest! If not, I’m stoked to predict FOX2 will be at MW 2023. Great work and so glad to see you back in the game big time my friend!

[@GearHead704]

Hey it's Gr8t Fox's! I'm glad that you know Brian and you're right, so impressive what he did in that time. Looking forward to seeing you at Foxtoberfest buddy.

[@gr8tfoxes617]

Thanks Matt…ready for a great time next week and seeing you guys too!

[@vicchavez6570]

My first car was a blue 85 four eye 5.0 , my pops got it from one of the angels pitchers. I drove It all thru highschool 92-96 . Loved that car.

[@LalaFox92]

Great video! So glad he came back better than ever and shoutout to stifflers for being so awesome in the mustang community!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks and yeah it was great to see them contribute like they did

[@jdeck66]

I bought the old saleen kit he had on the first car. Real nice guy. Glad he got another car

[@GearHead704]

Oh that's cool you did that and yes I have nothing but good things to say about Brian

[@jimmytadeski8389]

I miss my 87 gt. I'm glad to see you guys keeping them alive. Thank you for the content

[@GearHead704]

Happy to provide the content.

[@spassmore8483]

I've been waiting on a review with this car this has got to be 1 of my favorite builds after seeing what happened to kona 1 last year to what he has overcome and built now is just inspiring and it's a thing of beauty this car is just amazing in the eight long but short months it has come out in my opinion flawless this is the kind of stuff that keeps our Fox community together and keeps our wheels turning!

[@GearHead704]

I'm glad you were looking for an update! I really wanted to share his story. Love the community coming together. Thanks Shifty.

[@TimParmelee]

Was wondering when this video would drop. Beautiful car/build and awesome to hear how much the Mustang community helped him out with parts and support through the build. I’ve been following him through Instagram but the full video was great thanks for sharing Matt.

[@GearHead704]

I kept it back for a while, lol. Just wanted to release it at the right time. It was all my pleasure.

[@puzzlefox5.076]

Very inspirational. Konastang has had me amped up on getting my project done. I've been watching him on IG. I went through open-heart surgery on April 27 and starting to get back in the garage again. Kind of going the same direction you are with Nemesis!

[@GearHead704]

Hey PuzzleFox, he is very inspirational. Sounds like your recovery is going ok. Keep plugging away dude and you'll probably get yours done before I get mine done lol

[@o.mtopprint8687]

I've been wondering about this. I'm so happy the community came together to help out

[@GearHead704]

Me too, the fox community is the best.

[@marvinpotz2733]

I just wanted to say what an amazing build and car!I own a foxbody and been working on it for the last 2 yrs,nothing beats a foxbody!

[@GearHead704]

Agreed and you're right, nothing beats a FoxBody!

[@trbstang]

It was so sad seeing the car destroyed, but it was great watching the rebuild progress. Excellent job!

[@GearHead704]

Agreed on all counts! I"m so glad he got it back together.

[@mji387]

💯

[@chriswhitehouse9764]

Amazing car bro. That paint job appears mirror smooth, but that’s just where the amazing starts! Very well done. Thanks

[@GearHead704]

I could NOT believe that was his first paint job.

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

So what's so crazy is I had a 93 notch back that I built up and was the first fox body Mustang with Air Ride Technology's Air suspension and had to tube the wheel wells and so much went into it. Crazy thing was a drunk drive ran into mine headone and put me in the hospital for a long time. But was painted a custom color that looks almost identical to that one and I also had 18x12inch wheels all the way around and this is when Nitto 555R's first came out and I did everything to that car. It reminded me of mine I wish I could share the picture of it with you. It looked so good and I put custom all dark grey almost black interior in it and she got so much attention. I miss that car all the time. Ur Mustang BTW is beautiful love all that you did to it.

[@esb1967]

That is a special Mustang props to the dude that make that happen the owner the whole story inspired me

[@GearHead704]

Definitely special and that's great to hear that is inspired you. He said he will have the car at Chocolate Fox this year.

[@CrazyChiefXxX]

ive been following KonaStang for little over a year and his story and build inspires to hopefully one day own my own and build a foxbody, as i grew up in my fathers 87 347 stroker foxbody with tan interior up untill it was let go 4 short years ago, its always been more then just another mustang but always memories and smiles and laughs and conversations. i won a 2017 EB mustang but it doesnt rumble my soul like a good ole pushrod 302 dancing on the road.

[@markneveu349]

Brian is such a nice guy!! This is one of the baddest Foxbody’s in the game!

[@GearHead704]

Hey Mark, always good to see you! Yes, I agree with you completely.

[@jamessalter676]

Awesome notch and great turn around time with the build 👍 That's kinda crazy a quarter window flew off 😮 I never heard that happening before.

[@GearHead704]

Yes he did amazing and I know right! That's wild that it just flew off.

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Man that is a beautiful car. Man sucks that the original car was totaled. Brian is an inspiration himself. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Tell TIFF hello. Much love and RESPECT

[@GearHead704]

Yes it is sad, but amazing how quickly Brian put it back together. Yes he is a stand up dude for sure! I will tell her thanks and have a good one Tim.

[@greasyginzo]

That is THE nicest fox body around. Color, parts, details everything. Holy shit what a sweet car dude. Awesome job and awesome taste!

[@GearHead704]

Yes, it is cream of the crop in my opinion.

[@carlosnsosa99]

Love the color scheme and the twin turbo setup is on point!!!!!

[@GearHead704]

Yes! Just an amazing ride.

[@MrBriansantoyo]

That car turned out amazing! Gives me motivation to finish up my coyote swap coupe soon and get it back on the road

[@GearHead704]

I agree, he is an inspiration! You can do it!

[@319speed]

I remember watching JDs video and seeing that mustang get smoked last year. Sad day. At least he got another one going!

[@GearHead704]

Exactly, but so glad he got it going.
