After some searching and a few phone calls, we discovered a car that already had some considerable work done to it, and for all intents and purposes, arrived at our shop as a complete roller that could have an engine and transmission installed, the interior finished, and sent on its merry way down the eighth-mile. And you never know, you might even see us out mixing it up with the hitters out on the east coast, as well.Īs everyone knows, the Fox body Mustang is one of the best vehicle platforms from which to build a small-tire heads-up car - that’s why there as so many of them out there - and taking that into account, we set out to find ourselves a fresh canvas upon which we could craft our very own Outlaw 8.5 ride.
