The Force Is Strong"R" With This One

[50 Deep]

Iron man meets Thanos. For those that didn’t know I picked up a 91 LX hatchback as a development car. Dropped the new Foxbody project off for a little TLC with the guys at Imperial Works I’m Sacramento. Going to see what can be done with the paint from the 90’s . Getting it all cleaned up for the new Signature Wheel SV902 and Griggs Racing suspension.


Just so happened they finished wrapping a Dodge Demon. Makes the Fox look small, but I will admit the Demon has some good road presence.


Couple components from Trackspec Motorsports and Carters Customs on the way too. 2019 should be fun as I plan to test the Foxbody against metrics the R has set. What mods you guys have planned?

THAT'S where that "Jedi" plate went! I was wondering what you did with that after changing to "Han Solo"

That plate had been sitting dormant for a while. Glad I got to resurrect it. Should be fun to photo the two cars together

As time goes on I am starting to develop a real love for photography. Still a novice with my Nikon D3300 and Lightroom.

Most recently I had the good fortune of meeting Brett Turnage of Hot Rod Magazine. The guy is a total bad ass photographer, excellent writer, and just so happens to drive a 2018 GT350R as well. Been taking some tips from him and it helped on my last shoot with the new Signature Wheel Reserved SV901 mounted. I have a satin black 19x11 square set of these in production now if anyone is interested.

Long way to go, but got really good feedback/critiques from him this last set. Enjoy!

Great pics T and those wheels look great. You can clearly see how your photography skill keep improving. Just go back to the beginning of this thread and compare them with the last few rounds of pics you've been posting. Good job bro!

Man, my early pics totally sucked! But it’s getting better for sure. What’s the latest on the red mamba?

Taking it easy this year. Changing up some LED lighting. Opt 7 switchbacks up front, Diode Dynamics side markers, and Chris' rear reflectors. I'm planning on installing them this coming weekend if I have time. Performance wise, I think I'm good for now. Reallllllly considering the MGW shifter but maybe I'll save that for next winter's upgrade season. Other than that, just tires and a slightly more aggressive alignment for the track.

Just finished up my install of the full Carbon Composites by MAD exterior carbon fiber kit. 16 hours later we have some photos. Car was filthy, but we got something to work with. More pics and details to come later. For now, feast....

Is MAD/carbon composites selling carbon products? Their website is sparse and not informative about GT350 carbon parts. Thanks,

They have stopped production for now. Got too involved with other projects to continue it.

The fox has some really good qualities about it. One of them being the surviving paint job that it has now. The body itself is very straight with only a few minor scratches and dents. The worst paint area on the car was the aftermarket hood, and it has some peeling clear coat. For some reason the previous owner decided to spray the cowl vent and windshield wipers to match the car. One of the first things I plan to change.

I bought the car at night and then stored it at my brother’s house. By the time I saw it again in the daylight it was filthy. Decided to drop the car off at Imperial Works in Sacramento to see what they can do with it. They did all the outstanding detail work on my GT350R. Told them to get to it whenever and see if it can be brought back to life. Got the call to pick the car up after a few weeks and check it out. I can say that It was definitely a happy experience. The factory paint job cleaned up extremely well for some polishing and paint correction. Ceramic coating will come later and I look forward to those results.

My son is about to turn 16 and I am trying sooooo hard to get him into a Fox, but he's not having it. Considering putting him up for adoption, LOL. I tried to explain to him that him having a Fox is about the equivalent of me having a '65 in highschool. Kids...sheesh!
