Had been talking about doing the article "Out of the Box Fox" for a couple years with Editor Evan Smith of Muscle Mustangs. We finally decided to pull the trigger and come up with some ideas to help inspire fox body guys with some ideas we came up with. Thought I'd share 'em.

I love me some Fox Bodies!

Here is my coupe that I built a few years ago -- sold it though. Kind of looks a bit like the rendering above.

Fox body notchbacks are the modern day 69 camaro. They are great looking cars. A lot a lot better than the hatchbacks!!

Their value is starting to increase a bit. When I sold mine, I lost my arse........

I've seen a few of them that were very well done sell in the mid $20's recently.

I'd have to agree with this. I really don't like their interiors though, lol. The early 4 headlight cars could easily be the 67/68 cars. They look great as well but aren't as "loved" as the later cars.

John, the renderings look great. I love the first one. Very hardcore and the early style really does it for me. The Capri looks nice also. Great job!

The Capri fenders have that nice factory bulge/flare to them, just begging to be widened with some monster tires stuffed under them!

I did this on my capri. Had 17 BBS wheels, and I cant find pictures on the computer right now. Back then I thought I was joe cool with the cobra brakes.. lol

I previously owned 2 1981 Capris a few years ago. I always thought they looked awesome - chunkier. I came very close to buying a 1982 Capri right before I bought the 93 LX Hatch. Guy just wouldn't get back to me. I was going to build a Coyote powered brute with it. So I ended up with the 93 to build what I've really been wanting to build for a long time.
