Well she moves, took it up and down the street with no lights at all. So a better drive will have to wait until morning.

You should just run it down the track like that. Great weight saving LOL

Looking good. Are you registered for Watkins yet? Last I heard car count was at 48 for that race.

 

[AustinSN]

That's starting to look like a race car.

I've read on here that the Boss 302 race cars are a little more affordable than before. I believe they were basically $100k back in '13/'14. I wonder if that mean the price is down to... $60k? Op, I'm sure you are still well under that.

Yes we are under Blue By You Racing 2005 Mustang

Yes that is correct, But even with 6k In suspension from Cortex and Upgrades such as Tuner, Cobra jet and headers I am under 25k total for the build.

Great project. Not going to lie though, I wish you had left the 05-09 front.

Great project. Not going to lie though, I wish you had left the 05-09 front.

I wish it had the '10-'12 front end

haha Its great to see different opinions, But I love the 13-14 front end also gives alot more room for coolers.

I love this project!
Why switch to a TQ arm? Did the GM f-bodys actually have it right? I've had nothing but trouble with mine.

I'm sure I missed it, but what racing series is this built for?
