Attached are a few pics of my car. I havn't posted many pics of the car. The paint was done by Carl AKA. Slickstang. It is minicooper hyper blue on the bottom glacial white on the top with a house of colors candy purple strip across the car and over the roof. After he shot it with a metalic blue perl clear coat.

I bought this as a roller from a collector. The car is from Virginia and was a race car since new. It was red when I got it last April and had no cage etc in it. I did all work minus paint. The engine compartment and body work were all done by myself.
 
You didnt have to direct this thread at just me. lol. I'm sure there are PLENTY of people who see your avatar and want a more detailed look.
 
I would post more picks of the rear end and chassis but I can't figure out the photo system here. LOL. The car will have a 358 in it on a bottle. The rear was all build by Scott at Drive Line Solutions. It is an 8.8 with 35 spilne axles, spool and braced. Also has the small Ford ends installed. It is a manual trans car, and is on drag radials. I drive my cars on the street, so I am staying in the 10sec. area with the engine. The truck is preety unfriendly on the street, so I needed something that I can take the kids out and run around in. Plus I have wanted another Mustang since I sold my 88 15+ years ago.

If I can figure out how to post more pictures after the initial post I would be glade to post more pictures of it. I just thought it would be easier for ya to find since I don't know your real name. I am a fanatic about how the car looks as well as how it runs. Did you see my truck at Autorama?
 
The advanced thing worked. Thanks!

I had a build tread going elsewhere, so I will do a quick tour to where the car is now. House was red for about a month. Wife was thrilled with me. (Attached garage)
 
I bought the car as a roller. The original axle was replaced by a POS 7.5 so I could get it into my trailer. I had a new 8.8 built by Scott at Drive Line Solutions. 35 spline axles, spool, 4:10 blah, blah, blah. I welded up the torque boxes and finished welding in my battle boxes.
 
The floor pan was completly stripped and repainted in satin black. The axle was hung with new go fast control arms, Strange shocks etc. Which brings us to today. The front is going to be a full QA1 suspension system after the holidays, and then the engine will start going together.

Thanks. Lots of long nights and a a whole lot of beer. But I was so glad when the red dust was gone! Everything was red in the garage. It took me a week to clean the garage out. What a mess. I highly suggest using someone elses garage for the body. LOL Now it's just the fun stuff.
