I've been posting pics and such in other threads so I thought I'd start one and not pollute others..
New to the site, no really new to drag racing.. BUT I will be the first to say there's always something to learn..
After owning a fox chassis mustang 13 years, and getting VERY tire of it.. I sold it to a friend of mine,and have decided to do another car..
I had a buddy who street raced a 65 El Co many many years ago.. and I've always loved the front ends, but wasn't too into the truck thing.. SO I went out a found a good base to start another build.
I guess I'll keep this running as I progress through its stages.
current config:
136 car, nothing overly special.But had a solid frame underneath it, and was a race car that hadn't been hack up with some backyard 4 link or ladder bar..
Fiber glass:
Fenders
Doors
Hood
Bumpers
Windows:
All Lexan
Front suspension:
All stock with a manual disk conversion
Rear suspension:
Jegs non adjustable control arms
Air bag
Unknown type shocks
Rear:
Narrowed 12 bolt 35 spline axles w/ wilwood brakes
Cage:
10pt mild steel. I believe should cert to 8.50
When I sold my mustang I kept all the electronics, the entire drive train (BBC/2spd th400) and the rear coilovers. So I have those for this car.
Plans are to go 25.3 with the car.. keeping it stock suspension.
So I guess this can be a running thing as I progress.
