I always thought this year was such a cool body shape with the swoopy fastback and square headlights. So 80s. You guys did a great job on this episode. It made me want to build a Fox body even though I have a project car already.

Love these full build videos...everything from body work and paint, to suspension and engine...better than watching my favorite episodes on tv

Dude Tommy is a frecking GOD!! Lol...that hood painting was AWESOME...as soon as he finished the crackle....I literally said "WOW. THATS SOO FRECKING COOL!!" Well dun to both of you!! Loved it...but that hood paint cobra...Tommy Sir! I salute you!!!

Best epesode ever. Or one of them. DIdn't feel like one long advertisement, or some build that don't really work. They did good letting you decide every detail as if you were building a personal driver/track car. You got one hell of a track stang now. That hood couldn't have come out better. Outstanding on the whole damn build! I never say these things about a powernation episode.

I’ve had my GT since 1996, my Bimini LX Notch since about 1999, and my other Notch since around 2005. My Trio of Fox 5.0’s!

The car came out nice and it looks like a ton of fun to drive. I’m not sure if anyone is aware of how rare 1981 Cobras are. Ford only made 1821 of them, and that’s a nicely optioned one with the TTops and Recaro seats. I hope those rare parts didn’t get dumpstered. Nobody will complained about the missing 255, along with the rest of the drivetrain , but I wish you guys had gone the restoration route with the exterior and interior.

Best video ever for the early 80s mustangs. I want the exact build. My opinion I was 21 when the 82 Mustang GT came out. I couldn’t believe it. One of my co workers in 1981 had a silve Fairmont GT. 302 manual . He had gutted the dash panel had after market gauges . Swapped out the valve overs for finned 302 Cobra ones. I couldn’t believe it being in the 80s.

(same color and make with t-tops and all) and I beat the piss out of it. and I mean beat the piss out of it. My first car and the memories are still there. thanks for the episode. After a few years of abuse which included a new block and rear end and trans cause I blew the originals. I put it all back to original, had it painted back to factory and then ended up selling it to get a new Pontiac Fiero. Worst mistake I ever made. Looked cool but the Fiero was POS. Traded the Fiero, Bought a 82 or 83 Mercury Capri RS after that. Same burnt red and black with t-tops and then modded the crap out of it. Favorite car ever. Most people dont remember the Capri RS which was a Mustang Clone but I thought it looked better end the end. Fun Days. I'm old now. After about 8 hot rods later and 37 tickets. I Drive a truck now. But at least it's a Ignition Orange RAM Hemi 4x4.

The guys did an excellent project and I love the build with ONE EXCEPTION, hate, hate, hate the exhaust exiting the side. Never did like that look or sound,, I like the exhaust up and over the rear axle turned at about 45 degrees toward Mom Earth with flared tips. I like to be able to see the tips from about 20 or so feet rear view. Flowmasters are killer for the 5.0. With only that amendment I would LOVE to have this car. The trick hood paint sends the car to AWESUMNESS!

Guess what I bought in '81? A Mustang with the Cobra package, Recaro seats, T-Top, etc. Most beautiful-looking car I ever owned. I ordered it when the turbo 4 was the only engine available but during the build the four was discontinued and they contacted me asking if a V8 would be acceptable. At the time I didn't know it was that wheezer of an engine but, hey, it's a V8. It was fine, I just had to avoid getting drawn into any street races (the car was so beautiful everyone wanted a piece of it).

Cool build, love seeing an early four eye Fox instead of the 87-93. I’m not an Fox body expert, but I thought stiffening up the rear suspension made it handle even worse?
