I picked up the bumper from the fab shop yesterday. Its about 90% complete but I needed to fab some brackets for my siren speakers and burn them in.





Tacked the bracket in:


Burned in:




Finished and mounted:


I also picked up a Cobra 19 CB radio this weekend. I'll have to hit up the local shop for a Firestick and mount this week. I'll be adding a few more small brackets to the bumper for the Whelen TIR3 LED lights on the sides.

 

Fabbed up the brackets for the LED lights:

 

I had a couple days off this weekend and started working on some small things. First was to fix the wiring in the driver's door. My lock switch only worked when the door was fully extended. The passenger window would work sometimes and from research on here I figured out the wires were broken. Here's a pic:


I also got a new door check and fixed the speaker wiring but didn't get a pic.

While I was at the dealer getting the door check, I grabbed a new clock spring to complete the cruise control addition. I changed airbags, added the module and buttons, and replaced the clock spring. The airbag light is still on so I guess a trip to the dealer will be in order to clear it.

 

Looks good, I will keep an eye out for updates

 

I like that bumper this sounds like a cool build

 

Nice start. Good luck with the rust issues.

 

I've wanted one of these a pillar spotlights for a while, so I decided to pick up a couple and the install kits. I had some trouble with using a short drill bit, but got a 12" bit and got through it fine.


I also installed an antenna for my dual band Yaesu FT7800-R radio. I'm wanting to get my Ham license soon so for now its a fancy scanner.


Started knocking out some of the rust in the rear quarter:








Made a template, cut up some sheet metal and started burning it in:






Oh, and before welding I pulled the interior panels so watch for fire, but found the carpet pad soaking wet.


Somewhat done for now:

 

Nice job on the bumper and the rust fix.

 

Thanks. I wish I was out there this week for the Shot Show.

 

nice build man. i really like how the bumper came out. could i trouble you for some pics of the silver fox body i spied in some of the pictures. oh and i feel your pain on the rusted out cowl sections.

 

I don't have any good pics of the fox. We bought it last year and its been a basket case. It was a 4 cylinder that was partially converted to a 5.0. I've owned a bunch of foxes over the years including a 89 FHP SSP. The last 92 Coupe we had, I replaced a good portion of the cowl and floor pan so this is cake when compared.
