Fox Coupe TT 461 SBF Rotisserie Restore

[Mschlitzkus]

Started on my coupe at the end of 2014. I have had the car for a long time and drove it to college. Had a 600 rwhp 4cyl SVO in early 2000s and was a lot of fun street racing. Now that I can afford to go crazy with it I'm doing full rotisserie restoration with a nice Dart twin turbo SBF. Building it to do some local car shows, scare my neighbors and enjoy it on the weekends cruising. Should have it running by the end of 2015.

Very nice build, mind you this is coming from a CHEVY guy. More please!

[andrewb70]

Bling Bling! Glad you made it over here from Yellow Bullet.

Very Nice!! I've always loved coupes. I bought a new hatchback in 88, since they didn't have any coupes in stock, I'd probably still have it, if it was what I really wanted. Can't wait to see more pic's!

This is going to be killer. I miss my coupe.

[72BBSwinger]

I was always jealous of the State Troopers in those days, cool car and should be a HANDFUL!

[Mschlitzkus]

Thanks guys for the nice comments! I'm doing bodywork on the bottom now and should have color on it and back on the ground towards ends of February. Then the motor and hanging some turbos!

[Jetfixr320]

Wow, It's going to be Sweet! Makes me want to buy my coupe back. What are the plans for the old 4 cyl?

[Mschlitzkus]

Sold all the 4cyl stuff a while back.

[andrewb70]

So what will be the new power plant?

Andrew

[Mschlitzkus]

461" 9.5 Windsor. 255 Highports and twin Billet Precision 7675s. Using Holley Dominator EFi for management. Should be fun on the street and hard on the 345s! I have a few pumped up Lambos around here I want to raise hell with, haha.

Sounds like a beast! Those Lambos are tough to beat because don't they have AWD?

Thanks

I read "Schlitz" build and expected some maroon-and-silver aluminum cans as makeshift body filler.

This has plenty of shiny, looks a bit nicer than my poor imagination. Beautiful build, subscribing.

[vintageracer]

subscribed!

[Mschlitzkus]

Been doing bodywork for a few weeks on the underside of this thing getting it ready for color. Thanks for the Comments!

I'm using this instead of 2k on the bottom. Really good stuff and a timesaver. Basically filler in liquid form that you can spray out of a paint gun. Has to have a 2.0 tip though or it will plug your gun up. This will be the final step before final sanding/prep for paint. Should have color on it next weekend sometime. Will upload once done.
Thanks again for the comments!

[Z06killinSBF]

[BlackMachOne]

[kevs79]

WOW....amazing! Love the notchbacks! Can't wait to see more progress

Cut the wiper motor out of the firewall,and moved it into cowl area. After modifying the wiper rods it works like a champ.

Loving this build. I have a 1997 I'll be starting build on shortly. So 345 rear tires.... Curious as to what you did underbody wise to make those fit? It looks like you may have kept the stock frame rails and shaved them down for clearance or maybe move them inboard a bit? Any info or additional pictures would be much appreciated.

Thanks! Just use a minitub kit and notch the rear frame rails. Have to relocate the springs and shocks. Can do it like mine with mini coils or a full coil over setup.
Typically shops charge around $1500 labor and the kits run between $700-1500 depending on the type of shock/coil over you use.

[Tig]

I love me some fox body coupeness.
Awesome job, its coming along quite nicely.
The attention to detail is amazing.

Lookin forward to your updates.

That's hideous!, totally joking! If it were me I would not wire it, that way it would ensure it would not be driven. Awesome build!

Jesus Christ! I just went through the entire thread. Great Job!

I have, and always will have a soft spot for fox bodies. Ive had a couple of trade offers for my current project but gotta see it through.

[Bossed]

The commitment to build a car to this level, is simply amazing. Just WOW !!!! Congrats

[andrewb70]

No doubt this is the cleanest Fox body in the world.

Andrew

[wfo guy]

[HotRod47]
