Coyote Swap Fox Body Build - Mercury Rising EP: 8 - The Reveal

[@JKWilson61]

It’s times like this reveal when car guys can get misty eyed and feel no shame in it. Great job guys and congrats to Ted.

[@latemodelrestoration]

I honestly shed a few tears myself.

[@mustanlab302]

The boys at LMR making foxbody dreams come true

[@latemodelrestoration]

This was an awesome project to be a part of.

[@burton158c]

Absolutely awesome! What a build! i might have shed a tear.

[@latemodelrestoration]

I got a little misty when I watched it for the first time.

[@whatthefox302]

Car guys have some of the most noble hearts, we do a lot for those we love. I’m a mechanic and I treat all my customers cars like they were my own. What you guys did for Uncle Ted is amazing the look on his face was priceless. Thank you guys at LMR for being such great examples of human beings!

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thank you for your kind word @WhatTheFox302. This was an awesome build for an awesome man.

[@whatthefox302]

Late Model Restoration most definitely an awesome build and most definitely and awesome man! You guys keep up the great and hard work thank you all for your services!

[@floyd4311]

His smile while he's driving is awesome! Congrats sir! You've got a great family! LMR is the best!

[@ninji5226]

That is one of, If not the most, BADASS fox bodies I've ever seen. I'm a firebird guy (87 formula 350 in my garage currently), but if your even a smidgen of a car guy you gotta love this. I've never even heard of this trim/model before, always passed off the merc's as a lesser stang, but this has changed my mind....I want one, outstanding job!!! (Edit) commented too early in the video. That is without a doubt the best fox body I've ever seen, and it almost seems too narrow and an injustice to say best fox body. That's one of the coolest cars I've ever seen. This is going to be my go to video to show not only how cool foxbody's can be, but that the 80's actually had some great cars.

[@Spad68]

That's absolutely beautiful. Family , car and builders. BTW love i mean love this car.

[@GearHead704]

Loved Ted's reaction and the build. Ted driving the Capri was by far the best part. Great job all!

[@latemodelrestoration]

A very Genuine Smile :) Very hard to beat! It was worth every tune of the bolt and spray of the paint gun.

[@smartyrdumb4681]

#foxboner.. Great job by all involved. Not recreated but created a piece of history.!.👏

[@latemodelrestoration]

We really appreciate the kind words! It means a lot!

[@CJGOM]

This is one of the nicest fox body cars i seen. This mercury amazing.

[@400hpmustang]

What a great series LMR, one hell of a resto, God bless uncle Ted.

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thank you, Scotty!

[@ssdan2]

Couldn't have happen to a nicer guy! Good For Ted! great job on the car.

[@latemodelrestoration]

We thought so as well! "Uncle Ted" has been with us for a long time. He is family! Thank you for the kind words!

[@jameyrichardson8967]

Great story, build, and car. This is why LMR is such a top quality company

[@latemodelrestoration]

We strive to be the best in the business! Thank you for your kind words.

[@riffraff9000]

When you guys take this car on tour for the LMR 20th Anniversary, you REALLY need to come to the Midwest!

[@latemodelrestoration]

Hello Michael, It would be a cool idea! Come visit us at our Cruise-in and pitch the idea for coming out to the Midwest!

[@SVTAdamSVT]

awesome story and obviously a great guy.. well deserved.

[@latemodelrestoration]

THANK YOU!

[@brianross673]

That’s so badass. I know first hand that Shannon can build a beautiful car. I will have to come up there soon and check the shop out and pick up a few goodies.

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thank you, Brian, as stated in the video, this will be at our cruise in coming up in July as well.

[@Flash16xx]

This is the best KZbin video I've seen in such a long time! What an awesome build!!!!

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@bradkrekelberg8624]

I'd love to see that car tour the country so I can see it in person! Absolutely beautiful. Maybe the best Fox build there is! Other than mine, of course...

[@latemodelrestoration]

It would be worth the drive Brad!

[@gamerfallout]

Will this inspire LMR to make more 79-86 parts? I need a console for my 86. Interior trim pieces are hard to find unfortunately.

[@latemodelrestoration]

We are always on the lookout for new items to offer for these years. Thanks again and please let us know if you need anything else.

[@gamerfallout]

Late Model Restoration Thank you. Anything you can offer would be great. I think part of the reason behind why the 87-93 foxes are more popular is because of the availability of parts compared to the 79-86. It isn’t just you guys, CJ Pony Parts and American Muscle all offer more 87-93 parts. LMR offers the most 4 eye parts out of everyone and I thank you. Keep up the great work.

[@DanCantone]

It would be so nice to have a few updated or reproduced "hard to get" 79-86 parts. A new console mod with USB and cupholders for the foureyed cars

[@GeekTimLee]

Wow!!! Well done.

[@latemodelrestoration]

THANK YOU!

[@bryanc.tejada2408]

Beautiful car!!!!

[@latemodelrestoration]

THANK YOU!!!

[@saleen367]

I personally think the Mercury Capri had the better body in the early 80's. The 4 light front end, narrow grill and "eyebrow" fenders made for a more aggressive look in my opinion. It wasn't until the bubble hatch window that made them hard to look at.

[@irshred]

Sweet ride. Came out looking awesome

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thank you for the complement, Bill!

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thank you, Marcos!

[@gaddy8964]

Such a beautiful rare fox body car and build. The Capri just screams everything about being back in time when these were the cool cars to have or want. I wonder how this car is valued at now..? 🤔

[@09proudvet]

Wildman 8964 given the history of this car and how many times it changed hands and still ended up back with the family I highly doubt you could ever offer enough money to buy this car it truly is a 1 of 1

[@gaddy8964]

I thought Overhaulin' ended years ago!

[@09proudvet]

This is so much better than an overhaulin build, and that’s not discrediting anyone within the overhaulin show, it’s the simple fact this was a family member doing this for another family member and not for the publicity but because of love and respect between the two

[@ericcurlett811]

Awesome
