Re: Shake down with the Fox

Figured you guys would LOL at my new hood. Its better than what i had for one, it also belonged to a SBC mustang buddy of mine, so it was also for some local humor referring to it as a race car having a buddys old beast car parts on mine to "make it run better" maybe.



Cannot wait to see the looks i get on the street.

I actually kinda like it you should primer the car flat black and make it all match.

Re: Shake down with the Fox

If it was a race car, it would be black. But, driving in Texas heat, you need all the help you can get.

Re: Shake down with the Fox

certainly making ac work can't be that tough if that's your reasoning.

Re: Shake down with the Fox

It is a tin can POS. Making AC work is money that could be spent elsewhere. It does have mechanical vents for pulling air from the cowl though. Thought that was interesting. There are enough black foxes out there anyway.

I think you misunderstood my intent of my last comment, paint it all the same color I think would look sweet, primer the entire car grey or white or something. I think the hood is cool.

Re: Shake down with the Fox

After I get a nice rear bumper cover, I may paint the car a light single stage gray. But everything that is black now, will stay black.
