Really appreciate your experienced insights man. Fellow Canadian and fox owner since 93 and I’m restoring my first fox atm. Putting this thing back together after paint is incredibly satisfying. I used a bunch of your vids for smart ways of doing things. This side moulding install makes me a bit less nervous about getting them on nice and flat haha. I used your quarter window resto video and mine turned out beautifully. Quarter windows on these cars makes or breaks them, imo. You can have the nicest, freshest paint that’s ruined by a set of dry rotted quarter windows. Keep up the great content.
Saw Brian's GT at a car show yesterday. It's gorgeous. You did an amazing job! That paint color was POPPING in the sunlight! We talked about swapping our Cobra wheels because I have the silver ones. Sadly, I have 5-lug so we weren't able to make that happen.
Another great build! For the wheels, while both look good, I have to go with the chrome Cobras. The Cobra's seem to tuck a little better, and I think chrome works on dark colored cars. If it was a silver car, I'd rather see a charcoal gray wheel.
Hi Chris. When I put new 5.0 badges on my car, I used the template that LMR has on their website. You print it out and tape it in place on your fender. That said, had I known the 1 1/2 " tape trick, I'd have used it. Thanks.
Just cleaning up here in Nova Scotia after Hurricane Fiona taking a break to watch this. Great job as usual Chris. I painted a fox coupe I had a similar color in a mineral grey, looks good on the GT for sure. I am with you on the the big pet peeve about 5.0 badge placement and you made it easy for some folks to address this with your simple easy explanation. I am with you also on door hinge pin replacement BEFORE PAINT as I cringed a bit when I watched especially with fresh paint. I do like cobra rims just not so much in the chrome because chrome does not get you home, however they do look good on there, but with the black badges and black pony in the grill and darker headlights they shine like a diamond. If the badges and pony were chrome it would definitely tie them in better or maybe try a sharper edge rim like you mentioned to go with the lines on the GT. If the owner loves them then they love right?! What was the brand of headlights? LMR or NPD? I am trying to decide on the tinted or just get the ultra clear because I know at night the tinted would put less light on the road for sure.
Magnetic Grey looks very good on a fox. As far as wheels even though I feel they’re played out (in the Saleen world at least) your 3 piece Sterns would look killer on it. FYI Saleen makes a filler panel which they still make that goes where the front plate was.
Just went through 2 sets of actuators from them recently. Both sets had the exact same issues you experienced. They kept implying it was from low voltage 🤦♂️. Tossed them in the trash.
I thought I was the only one to receive a couple of bad actuators from LMR. Since I installed them, they are very weak and rarely work. I may be replacing them with Dorman ones since my door panels are off.
Ya man those LMR ones are trash. Not trying to bash, just being realistic as they are not fun to change so you kinda want to get them fixed the first time around lol
I also agree with the LMR actuators. Bought some years ago and out of the box they were inop. Reinstalled my old ones the tossed the new ones in the trash
Great video Chris, did I understand you said you could use a urethane for body moldings? That's one of my biggest complaints about a fox that's been painted. Especially on my 4eyed car with the metal backing strip etc.
Chrome all the way, sliver wheels just look like crap! He also needs to swap out the interior to black plus add options, power windows, locks, trunk etc
Car looks awesome but needs to be color sanded.. When i watch you put those 5.0 badges on that car has easy a mill of clear that can come off. Car looks good thou im just picky. Also who ever tinted the windows sucked. They didnt Glay bar those quarter windows so the dot matrix shows. Chrome wheels look good but black would make it look mean
Appreciate the shout out and the work brother!!!

Definitely looks better with the Cobra wheels
Looking awesome, that magnetic Gray is a stunning color on a Fox. Sounding sweet as well, my opinion
stay with the Cobra wheels. They look amazing.
I LOVE THIS MAN, especially whenever I see that GT40 intake idk what it is but it makes the car so much cooler!
Ya for sure! That intake is the best even if it doesn't flow as well as some of the others
@@TheInfamousProject looks just like mine, they are a cool piece.
That car turned out amazing! Personally I like the chrome cobra reps better. But a Gun Metal Series 3 might look damn good
Your years of experience with these Foxbody Mustangs has turned into expertise! I appreciate you and your content!
This came out incredible, awesome work, gets me excited for one day!
It needs the chrome 5.0 and pony badge with the chrome cobra wheels
Wow that is beautiful perfection ! It needs the Makers silver 18s on there

Oh man that sucks about the wheels! Glad you liked the car, it turned out really nice!

That color is beautiful and it actually looks better with the Cobra Wheels no doubt about it no comparison
Paint looks good, love the chop
Way to Go Chris! Wishing you and Gary safe travels on your Epic Fox Road Trip Adventure!!
Killer work all around, its the little details that really make a fresh paint job. Thanks for the door molding tips 👌
No problem! Thanks for watching
The chrome Cobras look better. It either needs the chrome or a darker wheel like you said. I'm old school, every car needs a little chrome imo 😃😃👍👍
Such a sweet job. Time for me to send my 02 new edge to you for a make over🍻
Awesome video my man !!
What a beauty!
I just saw this car today at a car show looks damn good
Awesome! Ya she's a beauty. Nothing like a nice clean GT
@@TheInfamousProject yes sir 👍
Beautiful car !!!
Premo Work man! Looks Minty AF 🤙
Thank you
Turned out really nice, I’ll keep the cobras to match the exhaust tips
Just cleaning up here in Nova Scotia after Hurricane Fiona taking a break to watch this.

Love the how to videos and the longer videos 😊
Man nice looking car man! Great job. I actually don’t mind those chrome wheels. The accentuate the shiny paint.
Looks amazing! Awesome work!
Great car
Magnetic Grey looks very good on a fox. As far as wheels even though I feel they’re played out (in the Saleen world at least) your 3 piece Sterns would look killer on it.
FYI Saleen makes a filler panel which they still make that goes where the front plate was.
Isn't that filler panel only for LX?
@@TheInfamousProject you’re correct. Saleen generally used LXs
Did you ever get the Recaro LXB Monaco’s in grey?
Just went through 2 sets of actuators from them recently. Both sets had the exact same issues you experienced. They kept implying it was from low voltage 🤦♂️. Tossed them in the trash.
Grounding is key!!!
They were stuck and barely moved right out of the box from LMR. Bought a Dorman and it worked like a champ. Grounding was definitely not the problem 😆
@@jgaper302 fair enough, lots of junk out there these days..
I thought I was the only one to receive a couple of bad actuators from LMR. Since I installed them, they are very weak and rarely work. I may be replacing them with Dorman ones since my door panels are off.
Ya man those LMR ones are trash. Not trying to bash, just being realistic as they are not fun to change so you kinda want to get them fixed the first time around lol
Make sure your Grounds are good!! If their not.. it puts load on the windings and burns em out.. not nearly as durable as the Good ole days..
I also agree with the LMR actuators. Bought some years ago and out of the box they were inop. Reinstalled my old ones the tossed the new ones in the trash
Good to know! Looks like it's quite a common issue
I know you said you don't like Chrome wheels, but what about 17" chrome ponies?
Can't wait to get mine done 😌 🙌
Man that looks good.
Really nice Mustang I like to cobra Wheels.
Dark Gray center ROH staggered 8.5/9.5 with proper tire sizes and another inch lower would be 👌🏻
I agree
Great video Chris, did I understand you said you could use a urethane for body moldings? That's one of my biggest complaints about a fox that's been painted.
Especially on my 4eyed car with the metal backing strip etc.
Yes I have used urethane on multiple occasions
Hell Yeah 👍
I want the 1.5 hour version. Maybe a TIP director's cut? 🤔 😉
Lol!
May be lots of cursing🤣
Looks better with the cobra wheels
I think machined 03/04 cobra wheels , would look great on that car .
Something about those chrome cobras looks way better 🔥
Clean AF 😎the chrome rims made it pop a lil more?! What about black wheels? 🤷🏽♂️
Ya I think he's thinking of the black 18" reimagined Cobras
@@TheInfamousProject either way the car came out clean.
Looks damn good man. Were the door moldings NOS or Aftermarket? If aftermarket which brand did you use?
These ones were from NPD
Which paint color has more of a metallic look, or looks better in your HO, the 1986 dark slate metallic or the J7 magnetic grey. Thoughts?
I would say this one does
gray cobras not chrome... phenomenal job
Agreed! Thank you
geez you build a sick car bro. do you have cars for sale?
86 OG hatch and the 88 white Cali notch
Looks great except needs cobra wing to go with cobra bumper
It had one... It came off
Or makers wheels?
god no stay with the chrome cobra's!
Actually ... you should have set one of your MAKERS rim on a hub even without a tire to see how that would look!!!
Really nice car! 93 cobras look nicer
Great car. liked the cobras better!
Chrome all the way, sliver wheels just look like crap! He also needs to swap out the interior to black plus add options, power windows, locks, trunk etc
Cobra rims hands down. Holy cow. Talk about "make or break" a car... Put the cobra reps back on. 😂
The chrome cobras look good, but the ROHs are the best looking wheels for a fox. I will have a set one day if you quit hoarding them all 🤣
Lol never!
Car looks awesome but needs to be color sanded.. When i watch you put those 5.0 badges on that car has easy a mill of clear that can come off. Car looks good thou im just picky. Also who ever tinted the windows sucked. They didnt Glay bar those quarter windows so the dot matrix shows. Chrome wheels look good but black would make it look mean
Yes! The LMR actuators are trash! You can get the Dorman off of Amazon. They work MUCH better.
I don't like the chrome cobra's but they look better than those Wal-Mart knock off's. Heeell naw
