Morning Symphony: Going, Going, And Gone For This Fox-Body Mustang!


Morning Symphony: Going, Going, And Gone For This Fox-Body Mustang!

As work progresses on the Rough Start Fox, I keep looking for bits of inspiration to add into the program for our ’89 hatchback, the one that my mother in law called “a little ugly”. With luck and weather actually playing along later this week, I hope to have the fuel system done to the firewall and if I’m really good, hope to start installing the 302 into the engine bay. Yeah, I’m foaming at the mouth on that idea. So every time I need inspiration, it’s straight to YouTube. Face it, there is no shortage of Fox Mustang videos on that site. From somebody ripping up the backyard grass doing donuts to Vaughn Gittin, Jr.’s ragged-ass Fox body drift missile/rally car, high-dollar race cars and perfectly restored show field stars, you’ll find what you’re looking for.

What I really was looking for when I found this video was paint ideas. It pains me to say it, but she was right…looks are not high on the list of the Rough Start Fox’s qualities. Black and red seems to be a theme with this car and I’m exploring a few different routes in that regard. But when I saw this particular car dragging the parachute on the ground, that’s when it’s time to share with the crowd what I’ve found.
