1988 Ford Mustang LX Fox 500 Project Part 2

It's Time To Revitalize The Fox 500's Sorry SheetmetalAt the time of our last report ("Late Boomer," Mar. '10, p. 92), Editor Turner's long-running Fox 500 project had finally proven the merit of injecting a muscularly modern GT500 powertrain and some seriously athletic chassis hardware into an '88 LX T-top carcass, upon which some 22 years of duty had inflicted a heavy visual toll. As you likely noticed in that report, this new-age muscle was in sharp contrast to our hatchback's rat-rod looks. In short, while the Fox 500's power and reflexes were now world-class, even an Olympic athlete can't make a good impression when swaddled in hobo's clothing. So we packed the whole disreputable-looking affair off to Motor City Solutions for a major cosmetic makeover.
