Those show are some pretty body moldings John! You are a beast in that garage man. Can't wait to race ya next year down in KY

They sure are!

That car is the only manual window, manual lock, 5.0, 5 speed, LX Mustang I've ever seen. Every person I know that had or has a Mustang had one with power windows and locks...


With some luck it'll be running by year's end

Nice handiwork there John.

Thanks. I even surprise myself sometimes.

if you get a chance take a shot from the side...that back end looks like its sits just about perfect. what size tires?

M/T 32x14.5 slicks. Back will probably go an inch or so lower.

cool... thanks!

So you back to working on the Mustang I see.

Yep. That's all I have since the dragster got wrecked. I broke down and paid Timmy to finish the cage and a few other things. Plan to get back on it tonight. I have the fuel pump and cell to mount and figure out mounitng the seat belts. I need to get it finished soon. Rene needs his garage back.

Any more progress on the Lightning?

Cool, Gonna have it ready for Ford vs Chevy?

What happened to the the other car?

No progress as all my money is going into the house right now. Hope to get back on it during the winter or for sure 2012 LOL

John the Hot Rod Stang is looking good Bro ! I knew the last I heard you had bought the Digger..But didnt hear about the wreck..Sorry for that.. I had to back off any engine building...$$$$ after my Surgery..and fighting the VA for compensation for 4 years, has us pretty well tapped at the moment..So I bought a $1500 boat to take my mind off things.. Yeah right.. BBF's and Drag racing still in the blood.. I figure if Harold and Doug can keep at it at there age... I still have a few years at 56.. Keep up the work buddy its looking really good !
