I think it was Leno that said "that's where you screwed up...if you had built it yourself, you'd have never crashed it".

I know, Ford used the piss out of the Fox platform.

The ride & handling shows

This platform is actually pretty amazing when you think of how long it was used and the different vehicles it was made into. Av, if you need help, I am always online, gimme a holler. Zach, any of the foxes can be bought really cheap and swaps are even cheaper. I got an electric fan and 2 axles plus frint hardware for a 5 lug swap for $15 at a Pick-N-Pull. I can help find almost anything.

I will be tapping your expertise, for sure. I love inexpensive backyard restoration. I'm a cheap bastard.
