Default The Ultimate Fox Body: Project Top Notch











Full Feature here.
http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/01/...fox-redefined/

My own shots here:

I took them back in November but had been too busy to do anything but share them on Facebook and sell them to Vortech

Gary is a good friend of mine and we are hosting a dyno day at the shop on March 2nd.

Wow that amount of time and money poured into this project is unfathomable. 98.7 pounds for all the body panels total!

Lots of LONG hours in the shop, especially since it looked like this when I saw it early September:

here is a pic of the car when I first saw it:



The engine wasn't even installed. As you can see it was on a stand and we lowered the car onto it.

As far as money...it's already in the six figures in just parts alone.

I was just reading this on Speedhunter's website yesterday. Definitely a brilliant build. They didn't hold anything back. I think it's amazing that their goal was to make the weight no more than 2,500 lbs.
