When I was bidding, I could see that this Boss had a few cool mods, but nothing prepared me for what I was about to find underneath!

That has a Ngauge tuning device. It's the best tuning device out there. The Roadrunner engine can handle 1000whp reliably if tuned correctly. Use Lind Racing for the safest most reliably tuning.

The boss headlights look like stickers
That thing on the rear end attached to the rear diff. cover is called a Watts Linkage. It allows the axle to move up and down although it is attached to the body. Unlike a Panhard bar, which serves the same purpose, it doesn’t move the axle side to side as it’s moving up and down. With a Watts Linkage, the axle remains centred under the body, improving the handling compared to a stock version with only a Panhard Bar.
Bro fixes this… but not that limited edition mustang RTR from like 10 months ago?!

That suspension contraption is called a watts link. Best for axle locating side to side
I’ve owned my boss302 for 12 years now, and it’s also white/black.. best car i’ve ever owned. This is one you got is really nicely modified the watts link in the back with the control arms from maximum motorsports is pretty expensive, not to mention the splitter and the trans and even the roll cage.. definitely was raced around the track, keep in mind some boss specific parts that are no longer in production by ford like the side exhaust, stickers, gauge cluster (higher redline than gt), dash panels, door cards, seats. You can still get the alcantara steering wheel and shifter boot. The a/c vents and interior door handles are the same from a gt500 satin instead of chrome
Be curious whos roll bar is it?? It held up amazingly.
This rollbar for shure saved the drivers life

Mustang driver here. The trunk lid button is on the center console left of the shifter where traction control and hazards are. Also that looks like the cortex watts link on the 8.8 rear end. Less lateral movement than a panhardbar. Biggest plus it has is more stability on a bump in a high speed corner. Could pare it with their torque arm with the right mid pipe for better entry and exit on corners and putting the power down. It also eliminates the terrible 3rd link UCA.
I'm very very happy that this mustang isn't getting scrapped I have grown up idolising them and I'm sad when I see destroyed ones.
That coyote can handle way more than 1000 HP. I'm a GM guy but the coyote might be the toughest engine ever made. Just add boost!

I have built a few 6.6 L8T engines with stock crank and forged rods and pistons and they are making 1800 reliable horsepower.
Damn engine swap and manuel swap in one video let's gooo🎉
I keep seeing the SRT-10 in the back… can’t wait for that baby to be finished! Love the new car! MUSTANG BABAAAAYYYY!
Seeing this mangled Boss 302 makes me sad. I had a 2013 Boss 302 in Gotta Have It Green and really miss the car. They are great Mustangs.

I love you guy’s videos. My birthday is in 2 days. I’ll be 24, and looking at buying a MK5 Supra to celebrate it. I’ve worked hard to save up for it, so heres hoping. My first car was totaled 2 weeks after my birthday last year by a drunk driver on my way to work. Being in the scrap yard, and watching your content, makes me dream to do what you all do some day. Its always awesome to see these projects come together - especially in one video!!
Everyone who enjoyed this video needs to leave a like on lee’s video so he can keep making us great videos 🙌🙌
HOSS 302 GOBBLESS ! I like it! Lol
Very therapeutic. Definitely helps my day go by when I'm not mentally fit. ❤
Looking forward to seeing it finished
Love this build and I love Fernando
I love this built Brody! Thank you for the good content
Loving this build! Nice work guys!
Love the long format. Living the dream guys!
Great video! I like the Boss 302 hardware and racing parts; very cool to see.
That Boss met the same fate that many Mustangs meet ... It's a Mustang thing.
Perfect video stay away from the shorts because that’s what KZread is pushing. I’m not a seven second guy.
I lost it at the broken glass 😂😂😂
My son wrecked his 2021 PP1 Premium and it was in the shop for 4 months. I was really surprised that the insurance company repaired it. Right at 26K dollars but it looks great. I was actually looking forward to seeing how the Boss turned out. I think those rims would look great powder coated black with the blacked out emblems
Great to see the Boss 302 finally get some love. I remember when you first teased it at the end of a video a long time ago. I own a Grabber Blue 2013 Boss 302, and absolutely love it. I don’t ever see myself selling it. I vote keeping the wheels the same color. It, along with the red paint, reminds me of the 2011 Boss 302R1 used in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge. And that one looked to be inspired by the Bud Moore 1969 Boss 302

That's pretty awesome! I also picked up a Grabber Blue 302, a few years back. I've added 52,000 miles on top of the 28,000 that the previous owners put on, and it's been an awesome car that I've loved every minute of! I think mine has also found its permanent home. I'd recommend removing the clutch assist spring and buying the MGW shifter, if you haven't already. Those two modifications fixed most all of the high RPM lockout and sticky clutch issues that I initially ran into. The upgrade to finally fix the last little bit will probably be an aftermarket clutch, but I'm happy with where it sits now. Wonderful machines. Hope you enjoy yours!
Lee, I love the longer-format videos. That's what I live for 😂 honestly, yes. I would love to see longer videos
Good idea to weld up those axle tubes to the diff housing. Known to twist with a good launch.
You do some incredible stuff. I would love to watch that and work and learn. I know enough but its the body work and making it look amazing.
the long videos are super enjoyable to watch and they aren’t filled with junk, it’s all good old fashioned car work. Love your work
What a great video! Keep up the awesome work guys!
Enjoy watching brother can't wait to see it done looking forward to it. Keep up the great work.
That video was awesome surprised you guys did a ton of work. Almost done already!!!!
im excited for this build!!!!!
I have one too and it’s supercharged. Sadly a lady ran a stop sign and now it is totaled but I’ll have it back and rebuilt soon!!
Right on Lee this is the kind of video I like! Mustangs are my favorite car and this build is really cool! How to build a really cool Mustang and keeping the price within reason! Well done!
Whoever T- boned the boss 302 had to be going 80+mphs . I wonder if the guy survived
Nice long video, great content!!
i think you should continue doing long rebuild videos, i enjoy them more
what a sick project cant wait to see it finished
If ever there were someone in the auto repair industry that could be called a glutton for punishment you'd be IT! 🤣🤣🤣
You’re good man Ernesto great video explaining everything thanks brother
so hype for this
I’ve been wanting to work with these guys for so long. Hopefully one day they need an extra hand in the shop. These videos look like so much fun I can’t imagine actually being there.
Good job fellas keep the vids coming
being the metal didn't tare at the house for the crumble pulling it back out to tension the metal flat is easier then if that webbing has torn out definitely a good one
Awesome !! Can’t wait to see more!!
This is the first video of yours I have watched. You have a new sub, great content!
Hell yea! Make sure if you do new rear control arms, that you get whiteline control arms since they account for arm movement and don't bind under side loads like BMR and other brands of arms
So glad I found this channel! Cool project!
love these long form videos
You guys are awesome! 😂👍❤
I could watch a solid 2 hours worth great video the 45 mins flew by!
I love the long form content. It's something I can put on during my lunch break at work.
love the longer videos lee!
Whole rebuild in one video. Dam this was impressive man, all the details and work flew by I'll have to watch this a second time.
Keep up the good work 👍 tks
that brace on the dif was a watts link, will help on track since these are live axle cars
very excited to see you guys building a mustang!!!
Now this is an exciting project... 😀
the HO$$ 302 sound perfect!
MD boy here, I love the longer vids!!
love the longer videos!
You are amazing, I love watching your videos. Entertaining and very informative.
This video is amazing!
Can’t wait for part 2
Kick ass build, I love my s197 Mustang. One thing when you were spinning the trans, the posi did not look like it was kicking in.
Love the direction and the new video. Only worry I have is those frame rails. It might be "cosmetic" but their is some weakness there due to the crumpling. I'd still suggest welding in some strengthening support just in case, god forbid, the car should get into another accident or a bad run at the drag strip.
Your gonna love this thing when it’s fixed. I have a 2014 gt making around the same N/A, and I’m right next to hellcats all day. You’ll be very surprised. Can’t wait to see more videos

Love to see this content
Was an awesome episode I love my fords .....from Western Australia
while you are pulling on the rail with the forklift, give the end a few good hits with a sledgehammer, you can also tap the kinked area with a smaller hammer to force it back into shape. its not the best idea to secure the other side of the car through the wheel/suspension like that, a better bet would be to run the strap through the engine bay to the damaged rail.
You 2 make an awesome team 🙏 always good content
If you want it lowered and want the best handling with just lowering springs get the h&r super sport lowering spring. 1.5 inch drop in the front and 2.75 inch drop in the rear. I only have lowering springs and I have out ran a mk5 Supra in the turns on the mountain. You won’t be disappointed with the choice of springs.
Damn that roll bar did its job…I know it’s meant to do what it did, but I never came across a video showing its success 😧
Bros got one of the sickest Red fleet of rides heck yea you my friend give us motivation
As long as you got a working engine and straight frame. All you will need is Temu sales to fix the cosmetic damage.
Yall think the driver ended up on instagram reels?

“Old dirty worn out holes” “I can get it about to my knuckle”

Did not expect the boss 302 to have the same headlight switch as a 2007 ford fusion 😂
I do like this generation of Mustang, so reminds me of the 67-68 models ( which I grew up in a 67 Hardtop as a kid ).
by far and above the best channel! incredible content! i vote keep the bbs silver, if you think a new colour is needed on them, i'd go with a dark bronze loook. I can't wait to see more on this!
