Just a tear down at this point.  Anyone can blow a car apart, but will I be able to pull off a real race car fabrication capable of much higher speeds?  I'm sure I'll need plenty of recommendations and help to steer me along, so please feel free to comment or recommend.  After all, I feel like this is our project.

Next will be a Mustang II front suspension, narrowed 9" rear, Y-Block and T-5 mockup for crossmembers and engine mounts.

I will be working hard to get this thing to look like a race car.  My imagination works well, but a glimpse of the finished product sure helps the inspiration.
