How-To Jazz Up A 1990 Fox Mustang Body

Ouch-and ouch again. The driver used the bumper corners as wall feelers.

This cover definitely needs replacing.

We once again went to a Ford part for good fit. Like the rear, this came to us from Year One.

Headlights, turn signals, and marker light lenses always get nasty on these cars. We've tried to clean the headlights and turn signals, but the sun just bakes them to yellow again.

Luckily, these items are being reproduced and look just like the originals. These came from Year One.

Bad work from a previous accident repair. This will be fixed since we'll remove all the mouldings.

Accident damage and a BB or pellet gun hit. These will be taken care of by Jeff's Auto Body here in Lakeland, Florida.

Jeff is the fellow who owns the '69 Mach 1 on the cover of the Mar. '01 issue. We like having Mustangers paint our Mustangs.

Guys like Jeff who care about their work make us feel more comfortable.

We really like Cervini's Mach 1-styled hood.

In fact, it has been our hood of choice since we first saw it several years ago.

The company's ram air kit makes everything fully functional too. Very cool.

Here is where the modding begins. We got the '93 Cobra grille center from Cervini's to dress up the nose of our LX. We've always liked the Cobra grille better than the stock stuff but wanted the clean nose of the LX.

The door run felts are in horrible shape on this LX.

We'll replace them with ones from LRS.

The mouldings for the door and the area behind the door are in need of replacement due to the crash.

Year One provided us with the necessary pieces.

We ordered the wrong handles from LRS without realizing it. We wanted chrome to go with some of the other subtle mods like the chrome locks. Make sure you specify which ones you want. The "default" is black since most of the Fox Mustangs came equipped that way.

The upper mouldings will be replaced as well. These parts, like the belt-line moldings, suffer from being out in the weather. LRS hooked us up with these original Ford parts.

Last, but not least, on goes a Cobra rear wing. This is another high-quality piece from Cervini's.
