Beautiful clean car ! If I could make a recommendation speaking from years of experience as I'm fairly old 🤣...with these foxbodys, if you want them to handle then the 1st thing to do is welded in subframe connectors. 1st thing. After they're in go over some rough train tracks at a slower speed and you can actually feel the difference in rigidity. A Panhard bar is next on my list as it allows the whole rear end to ONLY move up and down on bumps and hard corners. Urethane bushings definitely help but are not a full solution. The tubular front end stuff is nice but the weight savings is not what people are led to believe. It's about 25 lbs depending on the manufacturer. A roll cage is also a large factor in rigidity of you want to go that route and intrude into the interior. In general, you want the base chassis as ridgid as possible and then let the suspension work off of that 🙋♂️
Sweet looking ride man! I was wondering if you still have the OEM rag joint in the steering? I’m in the process of upgrading all of my suspension including adding subframe connectors and figured I should upgrade the steering shaft. Also, would you recommend reinforcing the torque boxes even though they look pretty good? I’m just looking to build a fun street car that handles and brakes well. Thank you!
I’m not sure of the tailpipe brand but the mufflers are either old macs or flowmasters all 2.5in. Most the setups online for these are pretty interchangeable.

Much appreciated and great input. Subframe connectors are coming soon.

I think that rear end walk thing is because guys remove drsg shocks. Mine doesn't do that. I did flip them around for the 275s Nice car.
Looks really good. I did H&R race springs with Stange struts/shocks. J&M rear Arms set all the way down. Love the stance.
Thanks, I dig yours as well. Great stance and I’m a sucker for calypso.
Thanks. I didn’t like the color at first now I love it.
@@85Lgc definitely an acquired taste but when you see a clean one it bleeds some awesome 90s nostalgia.
That’s a crazy clean car. Well planned start to mods. Panhard bar will make a huge difference. I’ve been running a Steeda 5-Link-2 for a decade.
Thanks! I’m very happy with how it’s turned out so far and looking forward to doing more
🤘
What is that flange tailpipe setup? What brand?
