After answering that, have you rode in/driven/experienced in some sort of way the type of car you are trying to build or do just believe the end result of your car will be what you expect based on your component selection?

Jim are you writing a book about us idiots
I've always loved turning corners and the feeling of pulling Gs. As a teenager in the 80s I was enamored with the performance cars from the late 60s I saw as a young kid.
The overriding driver of my build madness is I like to build things more than just buy things.
My daily driver is a tool of necessity this car is a toy to enjoy, not something practical or needed. Just a toy, the ultimate Hotwheel or Shuco.
Three things drove me to choose my car and the motor for the car.
1. The History of the car as the first Aero Warrior of NASCAR.
2. The racing History of the FORD FE in the late 60s.
3. I wanted to build the street car from the 60s ads. The one that not only looked like the race car but could actually be the race car.
Well maybe 4. In my mind I loved the body style and thought with the right wheels and stance it could look really sinister.
My Daily driver is quiet, rides nice and has modern amenities. It actually handles pretty darn well itself.
I don't need or want my car to be that same car. I want it to be brash and obnoxious.
