Well, I finally got my 88 back from paint (super long wait). But the wait was worth it. Took it to a car show today. Pretty much every person that walked by had something to say about the paint. I'll post a video up in a little bit, youtube is processing. You can't really get a good idea about the paint, but in real life it has tons of sparkle and pop, with the red looking very dark at angles and bright head on. After 6 months, I forgot what the car sounded like, feels really weird driving it now...

Thanks for the comment guys.

No interior or engine bay pics unless you want to see what a car looks like after 6 months work of body shop dust settles in it...

Thats the nicest looking fox I've ever seen, I wouldn't do a thing differently If I was going to do the exterior of mine... and I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass (although you'd probably like the way that tickled)

dunno, it has a 351w, 4v cleveland heads, very mild hydraulic cam, carbed, with nitrous. The best I've run is 11.4 @ 119, mostly limited by the cam, but it drives on the street very nice. I've debated on whether it would be worth it to upgrade cams.

Yeah, that was on a 26 x 11.5 ET street with 1.5 60 foots.

Looks great man. I would love to see it in person, because I'm sure there is no way any pics or video could do it justice.

I've been following a few of your threads and I know this has been a long time coming for you...I bet your like a kid a Christmas right about now. Be honest, are you spending the night in the garage tonight?
