That's going to be a serious beast and contendor.

I think I would try to make the fenders flares bulge more like the mustang's instead of being tacked on looking. Either way, I'm sure it will turn out well when completed. Looking great so far Ron.

Love this car Ron....This thing just screams thrash me

One concern I do have though will be the heat to the passenger side rear tire from the exhaust. I imagine autocross events wont be a prob but I'm thinking prolonged runs on a road course may prematurely overheat the tire.

Just when you thought you thought of everything. The pipes aren't really that close to the tire, but now that you said that it will definitely get wrapped and a stainless steel baffle to keep the heat away. That really is what makes these sites so great, 5000 heads are better then one. Thanks, Ron

Coating the exhaust tubes will also reduce your exhaust tubing temperature. Talk to the folks at Jet-Hot.

Car is starting to show its basic shape, with all the wheelbase, and length changes. I still think the front end needs a little more rake, but I won't know till I get the front bumper hung. I do think its an improvement over the original rambler design.
