[QUOTE="Bisbee Kid, post: 13064681, member: 139273"] :burnout: This so true, The group that are doing the major mods have all my admiration. Dustin & BIRDDOC's builds are fantastic & Van, Bob and the other vendors have been very helpful and and patient with a few questions. After being in the dealership service side for 30 years I see all the headachs that happen when something gets modded then the shop that did the work goes out of business & the car quits working. Most of the time there is no conflict but on occasion it gets into a gray area and when ever the factory gets involved it sucks, no matter the manufacturer. I built several cars in the 70's & early 80's but the technical side was not nearly as complicated as today. Everytime I go out in the garage to start taking something apart (or really just think about it) I start reading all the different post along with other past ideas & I just stop. Mainly so I don't do something stupid like I did in the past. Just doing it right the first time without all the extra drama of "only if I would have done this or that". Looking at a body in white kind of gives that clean sheet to work with. Not putting in anything extra, just what is needed. Building a home made car through the state registration was a fairly easy process but I am not sure how they view a complete body (unless it is really changed from the original, but then what is the point) Having a car that has 662 hp has been fantastic, this is like the final era of the 69/70 Boss 9 cars except there will never be another production Mustang with this much power. After talking to a good friend that works for Ford Marketing the 20 year plan is A LOT different than it is currently, the next generation Mustang is looking to be the foundation for Ford to gain full respect in the world market. Like the BMW 3 series is currently. He wouldn't go into full details but the global market push is gaining momentum & that is where Ford management wants to lead. The Shelby is such an ICONIC car I don't want to screw it up but man it would be nice to have a car that is capable of either 225 mph top end or a 7 second 1/4. Van's builds are super impressive maybe the best option is to just buy another (14) and mod the 13 to the max.:D [/QUOTE]
