    WOW!

    Don't even know what to say or where to start! Sorry to hear about all your health issues. I can definitely understand after helping with my Dad for the last year plus now. Glad to hear things are getting a bit better! Hopefully everything goes well this time around.

    Glad to hear things are going well with all your construction projects and hope you can wrap those up soon! Good luck with the 84 too! Hopefully you can really get going soon on it! Spring is just around the corner!

    Oh heck, been through worse - "... not what I go through, it's how I deal with it".

    Thanks for your sentiments for sure. Health is pretty good these past 63 years, dodged a lot of bullets and still have a sharp mind (except locating tools that I placed some damn where).

    Man have I got a boat load of vision and God willing, most will come in to fruition. We have to finish and sell an 87 vert 5.0 pedal car to buy garage doors then get to designing my work space (wrench room) and maybe a section deemed Gear Head Room. Over the years Cameron and I accumulated several cool nostalgic Ford items and shared similar vision as to how to go about using the building - my buddy, the visionary one.

    I wish to continue with our family's goal for completing Cam's three coupes and am so grateful for the gifts sent from FEP pals for his 84. Will never forget the wonderful talks with Travis sharing our journeys, family love and faith - he donated a front bumper cover (complete) and we assured Shannon it will be a treasured gift and part of the 84 as well. Manuals, trim moulding, inner plastics, front seats are some items that come to mind.

    What a great group here at FEP - thank you everyone.

    Hello my friends ... I am up and running (healthier) again.

    Question about the desired wheels (03-04 Mach1) for Cam's '84 Coupe. Will this 17x8 OEM wheel, fit well at front using the SN95 hub conversion?

    We have obtained the four Mach1 wheels and a '96 SN95 package [spindles, hubs, struts, tie rod ends and Maximum MotorSports Adjusting Plates].

    Appreciate any feedback, See ya!

    Welcome Back!

    The 96-04 spindles should not be used with a stock Fox K member as it will cause too much bumpsteer. The 94/95 spindles are the better choice with a stock K member.

    The SN95 17X8 wheels with the 30mm offset do work well on a Fox. I generally recommend a 245/45/17 tire as they were OEM and are generally cheaper. If you have lowered the car a significant amount the 255/40/17 works well too and may provide a bit more clearance of the front bumper cover/air dam extensions.

    If you want to run the 17x9 with a 24mm offset they work well too. The 10.5 rear wheels are often a tight fit on the Fox. Sometimes they fit and work, other times they cause too much rubbing on the outer wheel lips. You definitely have to roll the rear quarter wheel well lips for clearance either way.

    I just switched from 99 Cobra's to Mach 1 wheels on my 86 GT with no issues. That's with 95 spindles.
    Found a set of 4 Mach 1 wheels new in the box from the early 2000's and had to try them out, I like the look of these very much.
