I would have to say that we are some of the orignal Fox Body guys around, not some Johnny come lately to the foxbody world.Of our group of guys, 3 of us still have our orginal fox bodies that we bought brand new. 2 88's and a 89. My 89 is the Stable car, and it has 69000 miles plus several hundred 1/8 and 1/4 mile passes. Back in1990 we open our first shop on Watson Rd in Greenville. After a little while, we moved to Wade Hampton Blvd, right behind the Bowling ally. We kept the shop open for 3-4 years, as a part time thing, and it got so busy, that we need to either get bigger or smaller. We went with smaller for then. At that time we were supplying some parts to Tom Dugan when his shop was at his parents house.
When we down sized, we picked up the racing. We were one of the first winner of spring break shoot out in Fla. Back then we ran a 307 long rod motor with DOOE heads. We have raced in FFW in many different classes.....Street 5.0.....Outlaw street 5.0......Bandit...and a little True Street also.

In 2006, I had the chance to reopen Stable full time, and it is back up. Right now we are adding on to the shop to give us a total of 2700 sq ft of space. We are putting the Dynojet 248 in the ground and will be adding some retail space. When we get the shop finished, we will be doing someting for a open house. We can handle any of your needs for your needs. We provide tuning of all fox bodies with either Diablosport or Moates. We will help you get setup to do your own tuning by using the QuarterHorse chip that provides data logging and real time tuning.

Thanks

Mark and STABLE are another reason I always wanted a foxbody! Man I can remember when I was younger and you could still "CRUISE" on the weekends in Greer, SC their were a few BADASS LXs running around. Each of them had STABLE across the windshield or a small tastefully placed decal on the deck lid.:thumbsup1:

Holy crap, there's a name you don't hear very often anymore!

I still have a few parts from Dugan Racing on my car. They made a lot of money off of me back in the mid 90s. I used to attend North Georgia College and was only about 45 minutes from their shop. Hmm..come to think of it, I have a strut tower brace I got there that won't clear my 408w.
