Just got my hood and side moldings back from the painter's. Just my luck, they gave me 2 right side door moldings.

I need to adjust the passenger fender down an 1/8", but for the most part, it look more complete now.

IRS is in.

Still waiting on the new wheels.

Same ones, just a different off-set and 18x9s instead of the 18x10s. The problem with going SN95 width or in this case IRS, you're limited in rim selection, unless you're a baller and buy forged rims with the correct back spacing.

The scoop is mounted on the intake just like the Mach 1. The hood is a Cervini 95 Cobra R hood that I cut and fused the hole for the shaker. I was going to go with a Cobra theme and use a heat extractor hood instead, but that's been done more than once. I haven't seen a Fox done up like a Mach 1, so here we have a Mach 1 in a Foxbody shell.

T56 and a Vortech SQ-Trim blower is next on the list.

Fuckin bad ass! I wish I bought it when I saw it on Craigslist a while back! I think you really should finish it off with some Mach 1 wheels but regardless, it's still tits!

I thought about putting some Magnum 500s on there, but money is tight. Not working at Nummi anymore.

That's funny because I thought the only thing that would make it better would be if you put a Mach 1 shaker hood scoop, but it so subtle in the pics that I didn't even notice that you had already done that. Nice bro, how's it run, ever taken it to the track? Is it reliable, have you ironed out all the bugs? U sure ur not a baller? Lol...

Looks nice! The Mach 1 wheels really finish up that "mach 1" look

I think getting the Magnum 500's would really finish off the look though...you'll get the original mach 1 look with more of an aggressive stance Or maybe you can try painting the inserts of your Mach 1 wheels black. Taht may give it a more aggressive look too. Either way, the car looks bad ass
