The guys take the 1981 Fox Body Cobra Mustang, Sydewinder, and give it a complete makeover with no shortage of performance parts. The Cobra gets a massive suspension overhaul and upgrades, along with a stronger rear end to handle big power. Then it gets an aggressive exhaust system along with new fuel and cooling systems. Project Sydewinder gets some custom paint and graphics with a rustic looking patina plus its engine bay buttoned up and a whole new interior.
The Mustang needs some reinforcement, so the guys beef up the body and frame on a k-member car and keep it from twisting like a pretzel from big horsepower. To wrap it all up, they head to the track and see how it handles.

I know where that car is at nowwwwww
Why go thru all that trouble just2 install another medieval, carbureted engine, steam gauges &mecha switches?
Why not install a modern V8 or other, complete w/FI, EPS rack, electric HVAC, DCI, VVT, antilock, air bags, digital dash, touch screen, etc? I like the paint idea, the frame trusses, the roll cage, flooring over the rear seat delete but the exhaust is putrid, ugly even.
Why waste the labor, the time &the parts?
I actually really like the paint job,,not digging the cobra on the hood,maybe if it didnt have the wings and just the cobra.but I like the black and orange patina look.
What's up with the welds on the mufflers
That fox body was very nice
So lemme get this straight… you wanted your engine bay to look cleaner… after having cleaned and painted it nicely. So you drilled about 100 holes in it, put cover panels that will hold water behind them… where all the drill shaving are, and secured them with rivets stacking up 4 disimilar metals. Never heard of galvanic corrosion?
Paid those other cars to be passed
They put boomtubes on a windsor and they didn't actually let us hear it?
They said that the 1986 was the first fuel injection but I had an 84 with the 5.0 HO fuel injection
Where did you get the spoiler
such an ugly car. from shape to paint to literally everything. just the ugliest thing rolling around.
How much is the total amount you spend building this awesome car?
Parts list. And a shit load of $sh and you can do what you did. Beautiful Ride.
This reminds me of this old house
Bro I watched this year's ago when I only liked 87-93 fox bodies and now that I'm building my 82 T-top it hurts to watch them get rid of some of the most expensive parts. The original recaro net seats and the marchal fog lights really hurt.
Other than the wheels/paint i liked this build the pantina just doesnt do it 4 me
People like what they like, and what they dislike. I dislike the “distressed” look. If you don’t want to do a full decent body and paint job, just wrap it. Everything else is spectacular. I wanted to do full suspension on my 85 foxbody, but I had to sell it due to divorce.
Should've gone with an SLA up front, and tell tommy he sounds like a d-bag disrespecting a Mustang.
I have two foxes for sale ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
FYI the rear axel setup STARTS at 3k and goes up past 7k. More than the car is worth
Only these guys could take a car that looked like it's been sitting in a junkyard for 20 years and turn it into a car that doesn't look like it's been sitting in a junk yard for 20 years.
It's gana be a handle!!! 😅
Great work, gentlemen!
i love the foxbody, its my favorite car of all time, 2nd is the javelin lol. my older brother had 2 foxes growing up! one was the 5.0 all black and the other was a 4 cyclinder for his daily driver. ive always wanted one but idk when or if ill ever get one
You spend all that time putting on all new parts, and you don't put a proper paint job on the car.. I just don't get it.
Patina paint is played out. Its just cheap and lazy.👎
People that like Patena finishes are kinda like bigfoots. There aren’t very many of them. What that means is: when you go to sell it good luck finding someone which also means expect a much lower price.
Should've just left the paint job alone…
That car sounds excellent on the track!
How long is that 2 bolt gonna hold up with that power? And ya didn't re-enforce or replace the torque boxes. They gonna tear to shit.
Why would anyone want a distressed paint job on this car?? Why not give it a proper paint job??
Most of us back in the day, were dropping 351 Clevelands in them 😎 i understand the paint…but i don't.
I cant wait for mine to be built but imma build mine has a show car and a car to drive on the weekends or at least once a week
can you drop the parts for this build
torque boxes should have been reinforced that is so important
Think I missed what fender flares you guys used?
They call him “Baullz-Deep Boshers!”
What are those tail lights, I can't find them anywhere
Thought that track looked familiar. Glad to see you’re part of the tight turn 4 crowd.

Нооо интуиция подсказывает что профессионалы своего дела🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
That’s a huge amount of work to make it look crappy
Fake patina is terrible!
This must cost a fortune you will never see your money back
Overall build cost? Car total weight?
CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU GET THE FLARES PLEASE 4TH TIME IVE ASKED
