- Since I left you hanging last week, let's find out if the Mustang starts and how much work it will take if it doesn't. We have lots of new parts to put on so let's get this build looking like a car again.

I love your builds, but they are cringeworthy. You do all this great body and paint work, only to bolt filthy accessories back into a pristine engine bay. For someone who relys on algorhythms, I am sure I'm not the only one who bails after seeing the dirty components going back into a build. 2 minutes of scrubbing a part would go a long way.
If you hadn’t bailed, you might learn something. Such as people cleaning every part before installation on TH-cam are not rebuilders, they are content creators. So 2 minutes of cleaning for 100 parts equals over 3 hours wasted. I’m not building show cars, I’m not making money on TH-cam so it means the time is WASTED. It will all be cleaned later. So since you don’t like how I do it, move on and watch someone that is making what you like. Or better yet… make it yourself!
Nah leave it dirty.dont waste you time on that cleaning crap.you have a cleaning gnome.lol
My father and older brother were body men. This channel brings back memories. Thanks for the great content! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Thanks for the support! Happy Thanksgiving!
Agree totally!
Your channel just keeps getting better young man and happy Thanksgiving what ever that is , being from across the pond and not up on strange American culture, for all I know it's a time when all the tools you lent out over the past year are returned and there not broken. 😊 Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Your automotive skill set is all encompassing and extremely rare!! Love this content. Thank you for sharing this stuff. People with your old school mechanical understanding are disappearing from the professional world. You're a mechanical savant
Here in Australia we call a crescent wrench a Shifter
Great idea with the bumper cover, saved a fortune.
Not to mention Scott's Mustang Emporium could very well sell the bumper cover itself on to whom ever for whatever Scott paid for it!
After all free parts is free parts! 🤣🤣🤣
I love the color black painted on vehicles. It takes all the colors to make black. Great workmanship, Vehcor!
Thank you for bringing us along on this journey. It’s been an enjoyable trip thus far
Around here in Ohio that car is 100% done.
and in a few weeks or months will need a re-do
I hope no crowds were injured in the moving of the Mustang. Looking good!
Crowds are pretty safe from a stock fox body Mustang. They can outrun them with a brisk walk.
Runs better with a full tank of hater's tears. Great job Scotty.
But it rusts everything out with the salt content! 😂
What a great way to start the weekend! Scott you nailed everything as usual. It’s great to see how you can fix anything and everything and it still produce a beautiful product. All I have to do is get to next week, provided there will be a video drop. If there is we’ll see you then, if not whenever is fine. Have a great thanksgiving Scott!
Any chance you could show the painting gnome side of things? Would love to see recommendations on getting a good paint job done at home.
Hello Scott , thumbs UP!
👋🏻 thanks for the support
Here in the UK. we call a Crescent wrench a ''Ajustable spanner'', great video.
Scott, I like how ya even got the 'passenger' side pin striping to line up!.......
it gives the keyboard commandos one less thing to bitch about!
I make them work for their complaints! 😂
Hey Scott, love your video and your humour. I was tickled at 19:30 when you installed the air con clips. You did it at the same time as the train horn in the distance . It was as if to counterpoint your dedication to safety😂
The mustang is looking better with every episode! 🙂
I like the amount of narration you provide because I'm able to follow what you are doing but not get overwhelmed by the details. Thanks.
Scott, love your attention to detail.
Great work Scott . Seeing that Fox Body coming back to life brings back some memories. It will look sharp with a fresh coat of black paint on it . Happy Thanksgiving!
Stop hurting my feelings with all this great content! Love your videos
Scott, awesome work as always. It’s funny, as a dealer I’ve always despised anything with salvage history mainly because 98/100 are not properly fixed. I don’t need to tell you the horror stories that I’ve seen as I’m sure you’ve also seen them and then some. But the work you do is absolutely fantastic and it’s great to see someone do such a professional job. Kudos to you. Can’t wait for the next installment. Happy thanksgiving!
Remember Scott, perfection is the enemy of good enough.
Scott, I love your dry sense of humor, please keep these greats viedos coming!!!
I'm really digging this foxbody vert. I'll have to keep an eye out on your "for sale" page.
Fox Body looks nice in black.Great work as usual..The Craig 909 got one.
I was wondering about the ground effects LX bumper. I'm glad that you clarified that you were going to make it right, And I understand why. This car is going to look so good in Black. I'm heavily invested in this series now. Great work so far, I can't wait to see the next video!!
Great job, my first brand new car was a 1984 Mustang GT that I ordered with every single option available, it was a real accomplishment in my early twenties. It had one flaw from the factory, they missed some seam sealer and water ruined my carpet so the fender came off, they did what you did (your job was better) and put new carpet in. This video brought back lots of memories. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
Brilliant video.
Thanks
I just love all the jabs at the experts, keep up the good work 😁
You may want to revisit those upper radiator brackets. They will pop out off and send the radiator into the fan.
As a skilled body and paint man myself, your work and craftsmanship is top notch. You are the kind of body man I liked to be a painter for.
Looks great thanks so much for the updates keep up the good hard work
I like a black Mustang!
In fact, my ‘93 LX hatch is black.
Like Henry Ford once said, “you can have any color, as long as it’s black”
HOT DAMN! It started! Waited a whole week for this! 🤣
(Comment dripping with sarcasm)
Have a great weekend Scott!
You almost had to wait longer. TH-cam did not want me to upload this video. 😂
Car looks awesome to me great work
I appreciate your video, I wish I had this info 7 years ago when I was playing with my hood!
I think the pass fender bottom bolt by the door will help bow the fender to match the door. I’ve had them bowed out to far, and that bolt is where I make it flush (usually they are bent because it’s a proper jack point😂).
Really enjoy watching your channel. I love your sense of humor.
Great video.
I have to say Scott, it looks like you are becoming a Ford man with all your knowledge and work on this one! 😂 Great to hear it running. Its been like 12 years since I've heard mine.
I Love it! Its hard to be educational and entertaining at the same time, but you nail it. Best channel on TH-cam, bar none.
Always enjoy watching your videos. The humor is awesome.
Awesome video Scott. Thanks for the entrainment, it's always better than anything on TV. 🚗🚗🚗
Man I enjoy watching and would rock around with this old foxy body mustang
Great job on the Fox body! Very old school Keep up the great work Brother
Your good bud...Started right up!...All the tricks ,& meticulous work u perform works...
Nice little finish for nice car.good video,just keep on doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks, I don’t plan on stopping… for at least the rest of the year! 😂
Who new you could use adjustable hammers to work on AC compressors. At least your Crescent hammer wasn't one of those metric ones. 😊 Great video, thanks!
Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!
What a skilled craftsman can do with a Ford Motor Company product. Can't wait to see the end product.
Hi Scott love your skill and dry sense of humor. It's familiar to me when I was working in the 80's at my cousins bodyshop and later on at the dealership level as a tech. Thank you of reminding me of those times. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. PS we have rust and corruption here too...
Thank you
No broken water pump bolts or studs. I call shenanigans.
1000hp? Man, I need to get me some of those stickers!
Brilliant again scott, hi from a very wet Ireland
Quite interesting, a guy I follow on TH-cam, a Brit, did his apprenticeship at Rolls Royce as a mechanic. They weren't allowed to use a torque wrench when assembling for instance an engine, they had to rely on feel, which is what you do most of the time. When you are in a trade, you develop a feel for what you're doing. Thanks for your honesty and openness with which you do your work, with a lot of humor.
She's getting there 👍👍😎
I think you secretly have a soft spot for this bucket of bolts !
I bought a 86 GT new off the dealers lot and my sister bought one new in 92. Neither had perfect panel fitment. When you are done that Mustang will be better than when it left the factory. Nice work!
For someone who "hates" Fords, you are so good working on them...
The hood light is there incase you need to jump start your buddy’s Camaro when it’s dark.
you can have what ever color you want, as long as it's black.
The suspended is over it runs . I knew it would !
I'm not a Ford person . But I always liked this body and style mustang.
Your pride and professionalism would make me completely comfortable shipping a project to you. wouldn't lose a minute of sleep.
Thanks for the video Scott, I see Mr. Spotty was still be on Workmans Comp.
I just figured you were converting it to an LX, which would have been fine; black 5.0 LX convertibles look great.
Scott, you use whatever tool you want to do whatever you want. It's your business and your channel and you obviously know what you're doing. Although I understand there is no shortage of idiots on here telling you otherwise. Great work as usual brother.
I'd drive that!
Me too, until someone buys it!
I do but now no breakes
I’ve noticed that whenever I see those fixed up properly, they’re either red, black or white. When somebody just slapped them together, they’re multicolored, but I’ve never seen any of these colors going down the road.
keep all the differents colors ! hood, fender, bumper, etc. and you have a "Picasso". Price of the car : 1 millions euros or dollars ! HI from France
Yes, I did notice that you hadn't edged the blue fender, but I figured you had a good reason.
You are cool and you know what the hell you are doing
Please replace the boy racer orange hoses!! I know you will lose at least 50HP with black hoses but it must be done.
I'm very interested to see how fitting the aftermarket GT bumper cover goes for you. My son hit a deer not long ago with his 91 GT and we ended up buying three different brand bumper covers before we got one that halfway fit. There was over an inch variation in width between the three. Interestingly enough, the worst fitting of the three came from LMR. Go figure...
I always hated peeling vinyl myself!
I can handle pinstripes but anything more and I lose interest. 😂
Should have peeled up the center part of the vinyl and then inserted pressurized air to see if it would air bubble peel the vinyl.
❤
❤❤❤
Black with silver stripes. Sometimes they are your only option for parts
Ok, black it is. 😂
Bingo ! 🎉 I told ya . First time 😁👍
Excellent job on saving this mustang. The front bumper is for an lx. You need the gt bumper that has the fog lights
It is amazing how I know what the comments will be before you do! 😂
@@vehcorI meant no disrepect
You could try to watch the entirety of the video and try to understand all that’s said in it, it would prevent you from commenting stuff like this.
I bought a steering knuckle from Dorman; never again.
Pinch bolt didn't line up. The inner hub seal didnt fit well out of two new seals, bearing sleeve fought the whole way during the press(badly), even after I Emory clothed it more smooth than it came, AND I Greased it.
Before you say user error, I did the drivers side with the original O.E knuckle with 300k on it, absolute zero issues.
I just snapped the pinch bolt off on the passenger side, shoulda dug it out; because the damn Dorman was broke out the box.
👏💯
Many years ago I worked in the tool department at Sears. One Black Friday I was on the register ringing up the $10.00 wrench sets and making 1% commission. A lady with a German accent asked me for some help. She was looking for a metric crescent wrench. I thought she wanted a set of metric wrenches and took her to the display. She said, “No, my son-in-law said he wanted metric crescent wrenches.” I convinced her there are no metric crescent wrenches and showed her how they were used. I don’t know if he sent her on a wild goose chase or not, but she left with a nice set of metric wrenches. My co-workers got a good laugh, too.
lowkey I kinda liked the mismatched color panels lol
Those 5-liter motors had surprisingly low HP by today's standards at 225 but made up for it in torque at 300. I had a 1995 GT and a 1989 GT, carbureted and fuel injected (respectively). They were both fast in the day, yet I know own (since brand new) a 2006 Mini Cooper S with a highly modified 1.6-liter engine with 324 WHP running on E85. How times have changed.
Maybe like many here, we built model cars when young then one day told ourselves that we want to work on the REAL shtuff. Some are still stuck with the models & other toys.
One of those 3M headlight kits will make your yours look new
LX front preferred..my 87 GT front end was too low, kept tearing the fog light brackets off the interior crash bumper. As hard as i tried i kept bumping the front on driveway aprons
Any extra parts left over? 😂 Great work man, those are still pretty cool Fords.
Quite a few from the parts car.
"Every tool has a hammer side" *vehcor* - 2023
I like it better in red.
Paint it white! 😝 It'll actually look clean after day one of being washed
Black it is!
Day 74,327,975 of asking for a Grand Am build...
...Kidding! Nice seeing an old Fox body getting brought back to life Scott.
When are you doing a video on your red mustang that you put a older shell on?
Bahama Blue
Black it is!
👍👊
👍🏻
Great Job.
Happy thanksgiving to you & your entire family.
I understand deeply your desire to save money.....
I'm old.... I'm trying to transition into letting a decent Mechanic/Technician do the work.....
It's not working....
I'm leaking power steering fluid in the Escalade.... Okay.... Take it in. $1200 bucks to replace lines & the pump.... I tell them okay....
I get it back... Still leaking... Now they tell me, you need a steering rack... $2100 bucks... so I was like, fine, give me the truck back.
I got the part for $310 bucks.... Put it in... took awhile, I am not a pro like you.... And working on the ground like a caveman, is a challenge.....
But, it's in, and there are no leaks, and everything is fine.... So I just saved $1700-some odd bucks.... Which I need to do....
You know who I'm talking about... The TH-cam Superpros who will tell you "find a good mechanic in your area...." Uhhh, I'd love to. Seriously, I would... I don't know how to do that.... You need to get (censored) ten times, and eliminate the "not good" mechanics..... It's pointless. I may as well buy an Acura or a Lexus, and just drive it.... By the time it matters, I'll be in a nursing home.....
Anyways, well done. I enjoy your videos. Sorry for the rant....
There goes that train horn again. They must like you, saying Hello each time they go past.
There is a crossing 100ft away and two tracks.
the quiet time is almost never@@vehcor
Hey Scott, I am not a body and paint guy so I have a question. Is there a lot more work, sanding and preparing the paintable parts black? Is there a lot a sanding and polishing after the paint job? You have had other video series with vehicles painted black and they look great. Thanks
