I tried filming in 4k, but I didn't like how the slow motion turned out, so I will correct that moving forward. Also a bit of a family emergency so I will not be responding to comments as quickly as normal. Thank you all for your continued support.

Prayers bro

[@GearHead704]

Thanks buddy, all better now.

[@anthonylaudano9751]

BEING A MUSTANG AND SHELBY COLLECTOR I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF DETCH LOL.BUT I HAVE A QUESTION THIS GUY CHRIS WOULD PROBABLY KNOW THE ANSWER.A FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT A 93 MUSTANG GT / COBRA GT AND I KNOW THERE WERE ONLY 4993 COBRAS WRRE BUILT WITH ONLY 107 BEING COBRA R VERSION.WHAT DO YOU GUY'S KNOW ABOUT THAT.FROM ALL MY RESEARCH CANADA REFERRED TO THE 93 GT AS COBRA GT TOO JUST MAKE AS YOU CAN TELL WHAT CANADIAN GT WAS REFERRED AS.

[@dkurcereacts]

It’s about time infamous gets the clout he deserves he be going hard on his projects ima huge fan of him 😎

[@TheInfamousProject]

Appreciate that man!

[@GearHead704]

I agree with you. Dude has been doing it way before me going back to his streaming days and really knows his stuff well, especially on the modified cars.

[@markneveu349]

Man I can’t get enough of these DECH cars!! Great content man 🤘🏼

[@GearHead704]

Appreciate it! Lots more of them on Chris's channel.

[@jpp9846]

Nice guy, loves his DECH cars too. I'm a big fan of the Borbets on a fox👍

[@GearHead704]

J PP I gotta agree. The Borbetts have won me over!

[@mji387]

I love these dech kits… beautiful touch!

[@GearHead704]

Right, I think so too! Thanks Mike.

[@jpat99]

Going back to that time, Saleen was the car to have as a step up here in the states. I grew up in Miami, so Steeda cars were very common as well.

[@GearHead704]

I love the Steeda's. Haven't seen one in a long time.

[@MrAllie-bf6zt]

With Hammer rims! Hard to find hammer rims now.

[@floydmarseeii4007]

Very cool 😎, those are great looking cars

[@BrailsfordsRides]

I've gotten behind on filming and watching vids, had a plumbing accident. Glad that this popped up tonight, I absolutely love thay Body kit

[@GearHead704]

No worries man, life happens. I appreciate whenever you watch my videos.

[@DeterminedVeteran]

Slammed low ! I dig it

[@GearHead704]

Yeah got that ride height dialed in no doubt! Thanks DV

[@paulhudgins5120]

Another cool one with Chris, looks like a great time, great weather, great story Matt & Chris. Can't wait for the next one. Hope everything is okay Matt!

[@GearHead704]

Was a great time and yes everything is fine now, thanks so much for asking.

[@PaulDaFox]

Another amazing video....The Infamous Project has some awesome rides and I'm super jelly of his collection🤑 This hatch is just simply gorgeous!! Also, thanks for mentioning my channel! I took a few weeks off during the holidays when Sally's mom passed away so I'm trying to reset and get back in the swing of things, so the mention is much appreciated. Matt, I'm wishing you, your channel and your family all the best for 2022🙌

[@GearHead704]

Hey Paul! I'm so sorry again for Sally's loss. Definitely thinking of you guys. I have a full shop tour coming, so hope you will be able to catch that one and best of luck to you as well in 2022.

[@PaulDaFox]

@@GearHead704 Thanks Matt, I never missed one of your videos up to recent, but I’m going to stay on top now. Have a great weekend 🙌🏼🏁

[@GearHead704]

No worries man, life gets busy and I can't seem to find time to watch everyones videos unforutnately.

I prefer the coup but I'm Bias !! The DECH Body Kit's are so clean looking !! THX So much for sharing

[@GearHead704]

I'm with you on the coupe, but yeah the kits look good in general.

[@BrailsfordsRides]

His car is so beautiful, I love the wheels too

[@GearHead704]

Yeah I'm a big fan of the wheels

Jay C! Thanks mane.

[@chrisdodson7950]

Love the wing on the hatck , wish I could get one !

[@tonyoliver2334]

I gotta get my hands on one of these Dech body kits. Love the look on the hatch!

[@GearHead704]

Me too!

[@MrAllie-bf6zt]

In Philly, back in the day, like the late 80's and early 90's, brothas had the convertible mustangs with the Baller Hammer rims. It was straight fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Mustangs looked the best with Hammer rims, but it's hard to find hammer rims now. Damn shame.

[@GearHead704]

I would have love to have been in Philly back then.

[@christopheradams5508]

I just ordered my DECH kit…can’t wait to install it.

[@GearHead704]

Alright, that's what I like to hear! Hope you enjoy it.

[@trbstang]

The car looks great! Of course I prefer the hatch since I've had mine since 87.

[@GearHead704]

Right on! I really do need a hatch in my life.

[@briandentguy3403]

Love wild strawberry red paint on these foxes. Definitely one of my top 3 fav colors. Very underated paint

[@GearHead704]

So under rated.

[@robpeters5204]

In 84 I built an 81 Capri and I put the Kamei X-1 ground effects kit. I have a 3 position adjustable rear wing with Simmons V4 16” rims. Lowered with bilstein B1 suspension. I was killing ZR1’s and Grand nationals. Nobody could touch it. I still have the car.

[@GearHead704]

Man that is awesome! Even better you still have the car.

[@robpeters5204]

I live an hour west of Toronto. Airport road used to be my stomping grounds. The car was called Rat Poison. It killed all those big rat motors!

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video MATT. That car is sweet. Thanks for sharing. Keep the incredible content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Happy New Year

[@GearHead704]

Thanks so much Tim

[@AlteredStangs]

Awesome video! In Ontario growing up this was the body kit to have. Chris and I are friends. We grew up in the same town. Thanks for the video.

[@GearHead704]

Very cool! I only knew of DECH in the last few years, but have begun to really appreciate them in the last few months. Hope to have a DECH kit on one of mine some day.

[@AlteredStangs]

@@GearHead704 I know someone who can hook you up. Lol.

[@GearHead704]

😁

[@thelazywelder1645]

Hell yeah, can’t wait to buy a dech kit off infamous. Got a 88 coupe so I think it would be perfect

[@GearHead704]

Definitely do it!

[@CasaLender]

Looks better on the hatch. Great video.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks, and I agree it looks very good, just prefer the coupe, but Chris is the DECH man and he agrees with you

[@brandonrickbornponyexpress6574]

Shweww beautiful 😍. That thing is worth a pretty penny for sure.

[@GearHead704]

I think so too!

[@TheSeanGTV]

It’s cool to learn about the Dech stuff. Saleen vs Dech, on track. Who wins!? Lol Chris has a really cool collection.

[@GearHead704]

Man, Saleen VS DECH we definitely need to make that video.

[@frank3stangs]

Nice video Matt!! Really clean car!!

[@GearHead704]

I think so too! Thanks Frank

[@robertc1220]

Can remember reading about the Dech mustang in muscle mustang and fast fords magazine, though you were going to show off your cowboy boots.

[@GearHead704]

Hah hah, they don't make them in my size!

[@thefoxchamber]

He has some awesome rides.

[@GearHead704]

Hey Jim, yes for sure.

[@trentawilliams]

Never looked into Dech before. This has me really interested now lol

[@GearHead704]

Yeah they are really cool. It's great to see more info about them getting out there.

[@out_foxed_gt]

Another great video Matt!!👊🏻

[@GearHead704]

You're too king buddy, thanks for the continued support. Needed to hear that today.

[@mustanlab302]

This car just how I would want it 👏 and all with a beer in hand

[@GearHead704]

Hah hah, yeah the beer may be making future appearances in upcoming videos.

[@ericcurlett811]

Love that kit

[@GearHead704]

Same

[@jameyrichardson8967]

Really good looking car. I personally prefer the Saleen specifically the aero black with yellow and white stripes 😁😁😁

[@GearHead704]

I love that one too

[@The147tacammo]

1st from Arkansas

[@GearHead704]

I still need to visit there someday.

[@spassmore8483]

I love these Dech cars they're freaking pretty bad ass especially any of the ones that Chris has he's got a gorgeous collection. you got to have the right taste though i think at first I knew nothing about em until 10 years into doing Fox body stuff but now that I know it's the Canadian saleen basically it's a complete different outlook for me... I hope whatever family emergency you have going on gets better Bro and thanks for the videos as always I'm sure you definitely needed a break from two times a week for the last 3 and 1/2 years that's a lot of work from what I hear but that gives you more time to create better stuff so I'm okay with it always going to be a fan Matt!!!

[@GearHead704]

Hey Shifty! Yeah i've really come around to the DECH's as well. They are a very unique and cool part of history. Everything is good to go know with the family, but thanks for asking about that. I plan to be back at the 2x a week in the future, but it is nice to have a break. Thanks for being such a constant supporter.

[@mikeconnelly7032]

Miss my Sunday 5pm video!!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks man, I think they should be back next month.

[@travisevans7502]

I prefer the Saleen front and rear bumpers but I do like the side ground affects of the Dech

[@GearHead704]

Yeah those side skirts are 🤑

[@elegancehomepainting]

Good video Matt as always I do have a rear hatch cover in Black for Chris you can mention that to him. (4sale of course). Also I have a good collection of foxbodys that you may want to film in your next shoot. One is a 93 GT Reef blue with black interior the other is a 93 wild strawberry Coupe with black interior and my 90 GT 25th anniversary with black interior also I do have a 93 convertible with white interior, we'll have to talk I'm in Florida there's some good stories that go along with it.👍👍👍

[@TheInfamousProject]

If you're selling any of those cars let me know - I get over to FLA quite often

[@GearHead704]

Very cool, I may make it down to Florida one day, so that'd be cool if it worked out. Thanks.

[@elegancehomepainting]

@@GearHead704 👍👍👍

[@jasonhastings5538]

I have a grey cargo cover!!!

[@GearHead704]

Awesome!

[@aceburgers8801]

I really like this one. His white one was a bit much “but cool” but this is just a sweet fox

[@GearHead704]

Yeah I love the Strawberry paint on this one

[@genopingon5367]

Best kit for the LX would be the Saleen kit!

[@GearHead704]

It's not a bad way to go for sure. I personally like the 93 cobra kit.

[@josediaz9093]

Hey Bro the halo headrest fit direct onto your seats

[@TheInfamousProject]

Yessir

[@GearHead704]

I'm glad Chris was able to answer your question.

[@carlosdejesus816]

Hey that flat scenery looks familiar 😉 Welcome to Texas buddy, are you moving to Texas ?

[@GearHead704]

Hey Carlos! It might look like I am for the next month with all the videos LOL, but nah just took a trip there. Thanks for the support buddy.

[@bendirusso3149]

Great review. I love the car. I wonder where he obtained the halo webbed headrest?

[@TheInfamousProject]

Those headrests came on early 4-eye cars with black interiors. These were from an 83GT IIRC

[@GearHead704]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it and I see Chris answered your question.

[@spencerladd2496]

I love it bro, you guys keep getting together... You guys complaining about views will be be a lot less...😂🤣😂 Na on the real, awesome video.✌️👍😜😎😉🙌🍻🤟👌👋

[@GearHead704]

Hah hah, we have a lot of fun together for sure. Chris is a great dude. Thanks for watching.

[@blueknights7576]

Hope the family is ok Matt!! Great video as always and these Dech foxes are absolutely beautiful!! The only thing I would say are those wheels do not do that car justice imo….they remind me of those old early 90s American Racing wheels. That interior is flawless!!!

[@jasonw7497]

Pretty sure these Borbet Type A's were a knock off of Speedlines made for the Ferrari F40. The American Racing 5 spokes were just a general flat 5 spoke generic wheels that drew styling cues from all flat 5-stars from that Era. A wheel guy wouldn't think these look like AR's.

[@blueknights7576]

Thanks for that feedback Jason! I am definitely not a wheel “guy” I guess, as I think the original 5 star ponies are one of the best looking wheels for our fox bodies.

[@GearHead704]

Family is doing great now. Thanks for asking and the continued support.

[@GearHead704]

I do like the Ponies

[@war.admiral.3639]

🤘🏻

[@GearHead704]

Thanks buddy

[@marksanders6403]

Would look even better with more modern clean wheels IMHO

[@jasonw7497]

Nooooo. Those wheels are perfect for an 80s/90s car.

[@marksanders6403]

@@jasonw7497 I know I know but I PERSONALLY like a more modernish looking 5 spoke 17 or 18 inch wheels. But that's just me

[@blueknights7576]

Absolutely right imo…

[@GearHead704]

I do like both old school and more modern look myself. Guess I love them all.

[@callen6893]

Is that rear spoiler still available? I saw the rest of the kit appears to be, but doesn’t say anything about the spoiler.

[@TheInfamousProject]

It's not unfortunately. I may look at seeing if I can get another run made but I'm not sure if there is enough sustainable interest.

[@callen6893]

@@TheInfamousProject that spoiler sort of reminds me of the 90 Saleen “double stack” spoiler. It’s a nice different look on a fox that stands out. I also have a friend here in the US that desperately wants a Dech Mustang bad.

[@GearHead704]

If Chris does another run I'll buy one.

[@marshallkixmoeller6239]

Can the "bubble" hatch from a 1985 Capri RS be transplanted (easily) onto a '85 Mustang GT? I remember seeing this set-up back in the '80s on a Mustang from J. Bittle American in San Diego. Has anyone you know done this swap?

[@rpliegos]

Yes it can be done, actually in Mexico Mustangs came with the "bubble" hatch as original equipment in 1983 and 1984. You might have to change the latch but other than that it should be a pretty easy swap, but it is something many Fox fanatics (both Capri and Mustang) are going to totally disapprove

[@GearHead704]

Glad you were able to get an answer. He's right though they aren't that popular.

[@davidwinterbottom1942]

where is the FOMCO battery? A/C DELCO?

[@GearHead704]

Not sure. Try reaching out to Chris on his social media. He may know.
