lol....not this one
Awesome looking forward to this….look into ffpcustoms for the gas shock conversion for trunk lid…if you chose to ditch the factory tension rods…
Excelente !!! Saludos desde Apodaca Nuevo Leon Mexico......
You will be super happy with the metal diamond blades over the death wheels, ive used them exclusively for 5-6yrs now and my sinuses appreciate it greatly. Had to find something that eliminated the wheel/disc dust
I just pulled the spring rods out of my trunk. FFP makes a trick gas strut setup. Machined billet mounts. Looks good works good.
YES!
Love your unique outside the box take on how to accomplish mini tubbing! Your fabrication skills really help push the envelope on how to maximize the room developed all while pretty much maintaining a factory-like look. Keep up the good work👍
Keep keepin' it gangsta, brotha!
Sweet man👌
Looking forward to tomorrow. Thanks
Great work..thanks..
All this info is really golden! Way nicer to hear all this stuff first before I cut open my own foxbody lol. Never worked on one so all the foxbody specific suspension geometry is new to me.
I really enjoyed this , it reminded me of your earlier works in the old shop . I really connected with your work in the little shop , the big shop not so much. Looking forward to the next.
Another great video 👍👍
You Rock it👍
Hey Kyle, I'm glad you started this build. My 86 is so excited to go under the knife ! I'm only doing 2.5in in and just enough for a 28 by 10.5w Et drag slick and still have stock lookin setup.
Looking forward to seeing Your completed build , very interested in seeing the mini tubs being installed great content and I like the way You drilled thru the panel to give Yourself a guide for cutting the original tub ! 🇺🇲 🇵🇷 🦊 👍
Looking good.
Detroit Speed for rear coil over .. use convertible deck lid springs and you can completely eliminate all those rods and brackets..
I’ve always thought about trailer fenders so you can weld everything in with steel
Nice work 👍

I remember back in 1987 I visited a local race shop here in Austin and they were doing the same thing to a brand new white hatchback. He was running a forged engine with a 250 shot, and other than the bigs and littles, Welds, it looked like a stock LX.
Do the convertible cars have a different deck lid spring type? I was thinking that some had a clock spring. Consider a watts link.

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^ Convertible lift brackets open up your truck space for your tubbing pleasure!!
For the trunk lid. Just change to the convertible setup.
Wild rides makes a template just trace around and cut it out. Very easy.
Looks like you did some work ... thats my motto ... go for it ... looks to me like your right on track ...
Haters are gonna hate brother! Wish I had your automotive/fabrications skills. It would have saved me a ton of money! Keep grinding sir! Love the vids!

Hey man , have you seen wildrides race cars coil over 2.0 kit . Mounts the coils to inside the frame , looks like they have factory fuel tank. Worth a look.

dont think I have see that exact kit but have seen it done before
Convert the lift mechanism to the convertible brackets.
Need some lighting
How far you plan on lowering it? 1-2"? If so notching the frame rails and drilling more holes is totally not needed on a mustang. For like $200 you can buy lowering springs and the geometry is fine and nothing will rub as long as your mini tub is done right. Unless you're building a race car. But if its just a daily driver then you woulda been good. But i'm sure what you're doing is gonna work, look great and make good content. Keep it coming.

No the other mounting holes wont lower it, it just allows for proper suspension geometry or track tuning. The car will likely be very low. It will have coil adjustment on all 4 corners.
Do you take on projects I and thinking of factory mini tubbing my 1984 Buick T Type Riviera. With the hopes of 3.8 turbo street car, show and go, power tour craftsmanship. What do you think?

I did....I like the idea of just ordering new factory tubs
One of the things that you can do is in the centre of the back covering the rear axle between the tubes is cut a oval hole in the sheet metal where the differential housing of the axle would touch then fabricate a oval bubble to cover the hole and it would give you some extra space over the differential housing, Ford did it with their mk1 & Mk2 cortina's in Europe with the lotus models, these car's are leaf springed and had lowering blocks. If you can you could cut out the wall of the spare wheel well out weld the bottom part up to the lip of the floor keeping the mounts and raise the factory tank up so that you can get clearance between the floor and the bottom of the fuel tank, plus it would also reduce the possibility of the tank getting dinted or crushed when lowering the car or when the back end of the car is under compression from rapid acceleration or going over bad bumps and pot holes. But no mater what you will find a solution. Yours Philip Burrows in Overton on Dee, Wrexham, Wales, UK.
MIght as well cut it up and learn something, that mustang would never likely be a show car anyway. Keep pushing the envelope!
That comment probably came from a dude that’s never built anything in his life. Or he has a stock mustang with a cai and says it’s built not bought lol
Do you specifically like the "bird beak" body over the 88-93 body? I think some of the bird beak GT's can look nice, and any notchback body is cool.. but tbh I like the 88-93 body style way better. Either way, great work.
