sleeper all the way.... looks like I can get by with a stock hood. I have some 2 1/2 tail pipes too. Im just torn on what color to paint it. Been thinking of going back bimini blue lately, IDK tho.

Rocking the 2 1/2 inch tail pipes will for sure help you achieve the sleeper look. A lot of guys are geared more towards building up clean looking, stock fox bodies. I say go with the blue, that color is rare on an already rare car and it looks bad ass. I will definitely be following the rest of this build, good luck man!

Well, Both fender wells are boxed in and doing some major fab getting this big brake booster in this tiny fox lol. I tried to do a lil research in some mini brake boosters but really couldnt find anything so, i went ahead and started massive destruction to get the gt500 booster to work. here are some pics.

Yes, but I did not want to go that route. It wasnt even an option lol
Atleast now i will have real good brakes considering the weight/brakes ratio. Im using 99-04 PBR calipers front and back w/ ceramic pads, with the gt500 booster and brake lines. Im guessing the car will be around 3300lbs.

Glad you are Ok! That is the main thing. I have found working on my car to be a sooting experience that gets me away from life's day to day struggles... that is until I bust a knuckle open and start throwing wrenches! But I digress... glad your not seriously hurt and am definitely looking forward to your next installement of updates.
