Modifying A 1981 Fox Body Cobra Mustang Into A Track-Capable Street Car - PN Builds
Рет қаралды 59,859
Жыл бұрынProject Sydewinder was a fan favorite so we're re-visiting it...with a PN Build! Fox body Mustangs are highly prized and Ford fans will love this build! Building a track beast that pumps out over 600 horsepower with suspension upgrades, custom body mods and a patina finish is a tall order but the road course is calling!

Nice project. I was wondering why going over all that suspension swap and not installing battle-boxes in the back? At that power-level the back end will rip itself outta the unibody. Experience talking... Either Kenny Brown or Steeda makes them. Maybe others, but don't trust them. Very mean outcome :)

You all take it so personally that they build these bad ass cars with superior upgrades like they’re doing it on purpose to throw it in your face. I don’t watch these shows so that I can relate to the build, I just watch to learn some tech stuff and see a couple guys build cool cars with the coolest stuff available on the aftermarket. If you can’t relate to the build, just close the video and move on with your life.

Crazy how much Foxbody prices have gotten. My sister-in-law sold hers for $900 8 years ago and it ran great it had the 5.0 HO 5 peed in it. She sold it without me knowing because it needed front-end work and the sunroof leak. I told her about the joys of living in the Rust Belt. But I was mad the car had so much potential and for that price she sold it for. I could have made it fast for a few grand.

for those watching and whining, "I can't afford one"....know that the same era Thunderbird takes nearly all the same speed parts, has a longer wheelbase for stability in the quarter mile BUT weighs nearly the same as a loaded Fox, tends to be less beaten on by the time you get it, sounds less like a tin can when you close the door, attracts less attention from 5-oh (pun intended) and you don't need to waste money on clear tailights and lambo doors to get attention in a hot rodded t bird--just buff out the factory paint and put on some shiny used rims from your buddy's mustang.

3:46 Yeah, too bad it's not on a Camaro. Oh ... wait.. yeah, they were slow and fat. I know, I owned one. The doors weighed so much than the hinges would give out and the door would sag, causing the window to leak when it rained, which led to moldy interiors and rusted exteriors. Good times. I'll take the early 80s Fox body Mustang any day.
