I can forgive the Mustang on this one. Good buy.

This has been progressing.

Good rambletron which covers basically the whole build. He also has a small segment on how much he likes his Quick Jacks. Kind of seals that for me (eventually).

Cost analysis. $8,888.88 because it's funny.

Point is, while skill is involved it does NOT have to be 10s of thousands or even 5 figures. AND he did it with a 4.8 which is just awesome.

These Mustangs do make good drag cars. Even the Fox Fairmonts as per original Sloppy spec.

Also that Holly Terminator computer is really winning me over for certain applications. Very nice system.

He's got some automotive ADD.

The Mustang is already gone. Wonder what he sold it for. I'll post his next project in another thread.
