Thank you Mr Hamsandwich

Me too, I think about it all the time

Thanks dude!! Can't wait to see this car come together, should be a lot of fun!

I never thought about it like that, but that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the comment!

Not much

I think I was in denial for a while.. I didn't realize how long the bolt was supposed to be until I ordered the replacement one😂

Would love to do a full tube front end, maybe if I get a bender one day.. For now it sounds like a tubular rad support is in it's future! Thanks for the support!

The issue is that it turns back on with am radio at full blast every time you start the car lol

@@LooseFab yeah my uncles had that issue. I think it’s only on the upgraded “gps” units ☠️😂

It's the best. Nice and quiet out here, tall trees and getting to listen to nature while puttering with cars. It's great. You'll get there one day too brother💪

The LS just fits so well in these cars, you should definitely do it! I'd love to do a Ford swap one day it just isn't in the cards right now. I went with aje because it was affordable and I was able to get it locally! It'll be in the next video.

@@LooseFab that’s true ls fit very nice in this cars. Your car it’s a 4 cylinder like my car so I think it’s worth the ls swap. I will fallow your progress..!!

I'm trying to go fast on a budget an LS definitely fits the bill!

Waiting on a vital part thats supposed to be here in just a few days then it's full steam ahead!

I appreciate that dude! I'm glad I did too!

Yeah you're probably right. I just want to keep it looking as unsuspecting as possible, crappy paint and steel wheels with full exhaust. Hopefully it'll surprise some people!

You could build a foxbody thunderbird and it still be a sleeper bc most people don't know what they are lol

@@ArtemzBuildz did you watch the track day videos already?? 👀

@@LooseFab mhmm binge watching all them videos😜🤣

@@ArtemzBuildz that's what I like to hear!! Anything you'd like to see done to the car next??

Heck yeah thanks dude! You building an eclipse? What are your plans for it?

@@LooseFabi need a new tranny since when I bought mine from auction didn’t have one (it was under mechanical damage) I’m tryna go to 300HP at least and make it just really good looking. Im watching your series rn. Really want to make vids like u. Ims start recording it soon

Hmm that's a good point, would look cool but would give it away a bit wouldn't it

@@ashtonclark1087 thanks dude I appreciate it! Super excited to tear I to this build. I just finished another mustang build if you're looking for some more videos to watch!

I knew I'd lose some people, I have another Ford chassis I haven't shown on here yet that I'd like to do a 302/manual trans combo in. Never got to experience an LS before so I want to see what all the fuss is about lol

@@LooseFab I have a 1987 foxbody coupe and its getting a 351w with a decent bottom end and a 76mm turbo. I believe it will do everything and more for a street machine.

@@scottadkins918 that will probably be a riot. Would love to see some pictures of that build!

@@LooseFab sure thing. I can do that, hardest part with the 351w is finding a decent intake manifold.... they want an arm and leg for them now.

@@scottadkins918 I believe it. They're a fairly tall motor right? Any issues fitting it under the hood?

They a rare model? Or can you can aftermarket replacements? I ended up selling the motor out of this thing pretty quickly, I guess they're sort of desirable!

@@LooseFab my carb on my 2.3 all the screws are stripped out on my 2.3 is in a 1974 ford pinto mine has a ported head and a decent size cam and a open long tube race header

@@alex-mt7qt dang that's sweet, light little car I bet that thing is a hoot. How's the 2.3 sound with the cam and long tubes?

@@LooseFab really good I can send you a video if you have like Facebook or something

@@alex-mt7qt you on insta? I have an account same name as on here

@@leakyspaceboots7542 oh hell yeah that's what I like to hear😎😂

@@kxnworthmacros5986 I really really want to, love the look of it and would definitely make things much simpler.. It just isn't in the budget yet, as the build progresses and the car gets faster I bet it'll get tubed real quick

Sorry you feel that way! I'm excited for the build either way. If I had a big budget I'd do a Godzilla motor, but I don't have those kinds of funds right now. Maybe one day!

@@LooseFab Completely understand about the budget but there are a lot more options than LS, Its not you its me lol Im just sick of hearing LS is the "budget" way when its not. FYI Im not strictly Ford I daily a Escalade 6.0 AWD even had the idea of swapping into one of my foxbodies but after a little research LS is just as expensive as others. Good luck on your build.

@@skinneyjay5451 thanks dude! I've never got to experience the LS in any capacity so even though it might be overdone, I'm excited to see what all the fuss is about. I appreciate you taking the time to talk!

@@skinneyjay5451 ls swaps are actually a lot cheaper

Dude I hadn't thought of that, that's a sick idea! You might be onto something!

@@viniciusdalfovo4500 wow, this is the first time I'd heard of AutoLatina, super interesting stuff! And I can definitely see the similarities!

@@Ryzlla-zu8sz I'm not sure? Did you watch my other mustang build? Where did you see it before lol

@@Perci1083 I think you're right, just a little peek out the hood would be pretty cool

Hahah, figured that might be a good spot to tuck it to save some space!

Oh good call and thanks for the link, I appreciate that! I've heard some people say you don't always need to gap the rings on higher mileage motors, do you have any thoughts on that?

Wrong. I’m running 14lbs on stock gap and pump 93… that only happens when an idiot tunes it or the intercooler is bypassed.. 13-14lbs safely anything over that I would gap 10-14 with proper timing is a ok.

@@LSX_Projects oh boy, i have bad news.. I'm something of an idiot lol. But that is great to hear, I think I'm going to try to chance it with them as is, for now at least

I love 4 eyes!

@@noahsfifty you came to the right place

Hell yeah😎

It's coming don't worry, I have more plans for that build and more events I want to go to! I have something big planned that has been taking up more time than I expected but I'm going to show you all soon!

Crazy that they were so cheap a few years ago now they've gotten so hard to find! I've always loved the coupes, so stoked to be building this one!

Hopefully with a ford motor though lmao

@@Four_Eyes that's a very good point as well. I do worry that I'll hate the look of a square tubing rad support but maybe I can do something to make it more visually appealing. Definitely the biggest build I've taken on so far, but really excited to see what new skills I have to learn to finish it! Thanks for watching, looking forward to the next chapter of your build as well!

Came down to say the same thing. Throw some gussets in your corners little strength and some “flair”. That or spend some money and buy a cheap tube bender. Easy to say when it’s not my money. Lol

@@RELLIK66611 a decent tube bender is pretty high on my priority list, I feel like I'd use it all the time. But I think you're right, I might give this a shot!

Thanks dude!!

Me too! I hope this thing feels like a rocket! Thanks for watching

@@LooseFab well you got a follower for the build bud

​@@PaulsensGarageI appreciate the support!

Not on this one!! My mustang has them though

That's a great idea!! You should go in and at least ask, might be a cool story! Let me know how it goes!

heck yeah dude thanks for the kind words! Those v6s actually make some pretty good power, i bet that thing is still a hoot! keeping it all stock for now or are you planning to do any mods to it?

@@drec7366 glad to hear it! This setup is still going strong and I'm very happy with it. Would love to know how yours turns out!

I have certainly gotten a lot better at tig welding, I wish somebody would have told me this sooner! Great advice!

Dang what all have you got done to make that sort of power at the wheels? 👀 I bet that things rowdy

@@LooseFab built engine with turbo, cams fuel upgrades etc

I had definitely been considering it! I have a buddy with a new edge and he upgraded to 4.10s and finds that they are a bit too short for the tracks we drive.. Do you think 3.73s would be a good compromise?

@@LooseFab I have 3;73s in my 3 valve and they still fry the tires really well. That would probably be good for you if 4;10s are too short

@@3vGuru okay awesome! I'll have to add that to the list of future mods for me! What else have you got done to your 3v?

My pleasure! Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed!!

Doing a build this quick was a first for me. I actually had to sell a different project (my ae86) which was a sad day, but it allowed me to ball out on a lot of parts all at once. I'd make a list of all the parts you want for your car, and maybe break it up into 'phases'. might be easier to decide what to buy and when!

I definitely agree! People love or hate the body style but I love them, and hard to beat for the price! v8 power without having to pay the coyote tax. and like you said, parts are cheap and plentiful! You're definitely right about leading the wheel, apparently these cars are notorious for having little to no self steering (something to do with the rack). I have the caster maxed out with the fdf plates right now. I've been trying to get the hang of left foot braking and how to use the handbrake but there is definitely a learning curve to it! Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching dude!

@@LooseFab interesting, did not realize the chassis was prone to low self steer. I’m sure the boys at FDF will figure something out eventually for them. Josiah is a madman. The best looking car is one that works and has somebody who can wheel. Both my drift cars when I bought them I was meh on them, but I ended up loving them after working on them and driving them for ever.

@@SDSGarage89 Yeah, it was something I was aware of before buying it just from watching other guys on here with them, they all seem to mention it! I'm a big fan of your foxbody, what made you meh on it when you first got it?

@@LooseFab I didn’t have anything against them, I just wasn’t super drawn to them. I was not actively looking for a Foxbody when I bought mine but wanted a JZ, just never thought it would be in Foxbody. Definitely like foxbody’s now after driving it for a while. Had the same experience with my E46.
