I thought i should start a build thread and show you all the progress as it goes.After selling my 88 coupe in highschool 08 i thought it was time i built another notch...... It started life as a 1986 lx coupe with a god-awful orange color. it now is 2010 Ford flame blue with white pearl.
351w c6 trans..ect...my goal is to finish the car before summer..

First we started with the paint/body....
Before...

After...

Cool, looking forward to seeing your build progress. As for the nose change.....we all make mistakes. lol

 

[Notchkid89]

Honestly i didnt change the nose lol, i wanted a 4eye but it just made somethings easier..i have lots of parts to snap pics of :-D

 

[50merc]

nice start. i like the color. cant wait to see some progress. ive been working on mine for well over a year now. cant wait to finish. us young guys trying to finish a car is pretty hard.

And some shorty bbk headers with v-bands thanks to a fellow yellow bullet member

 

[twistedstang]

Are those 1 5/8 or 1 3/4 shorties?

 

[Notchkid89]

not 100% sure but i think 1 3/4 hard to tell..they need to be cleaned up a bit

??? hard to tell? you cant tell the difference? hope your not assembling the motor then! geeze

way to take a 86 coupe and make it look like 95% of every other Fox.

 

[Anthony]

Honestly i didnt change the nose lol, i wanted a 4eye but it just made somethings easier..

what was easier? finding a stock 87-93 hood with hood pins in it?
the wiring required to make the lights work?
the mismatched belt moldings?

 

[BOOSTED-SS-ELKY]

Keep up the great work!

 

[Notchkid89]

Way to be a dick.....its MY car not yours...idc what it looks like...anything is better then what it looked when i bought.....

that hood is NOT on the car,and yea the FRONT molding on the fenders dont match but im replacing them with new black ones, we painted the car back in july and already had those bumpers on it when i bought it...id rather have the 4 eyed 86 front end but you work with what you have..
