First fox build
 
Ive been wanting to get into a build of some sort for Awhile now and found a 1988 mustang lx shell for sale in the area that came with a 90 gt motor for a grand.this is my first build and wont be anything crazy since im 17 and going into my senior year of highschool but the gt motor already has a cam and edlebrock upper and lower intakes and i have a 5.0 motor laying around from a previous car i crashed that i plan to fully build and eventually turbo.

Got to work painting the bay.not too worried about it looking perfect because ill eventually shave the bay some when i turbo the car.just waiting on some parts from late model resto than the motor will be ready to go in,figured i might as well re gasket the whole thing while its out
