Re: Foxbody Stocker/Bracket Racer
So here is where we're currently at:
I've pulled the exhaust, gas tank, drive shaft, and stripped the engine down to the short block. Every nut, bolt, bracket and any other type of fastener fought me tooth and nail along the way which served as a reminder as to why I so much more like working on race cars versus street cars. The trans is 4 bolts away from being dropped and the engine 2 bolts away from being hoisted out. As you can see, I've got some rust issues that I'll need to contend with. If you look closely, you can see the frame rails (next to the headers) have rusted through in typical foxbody fashion (on both sides) so I'll have to break out the cut-off wheel and remove those sections and replace. Good thing I bought that Hobart MIG over the summer!!
