This is going to be a madman when it's done.

If it was a "Race Only Car" we would build everything on the edge of being too light & constantly inspect, repair & replace ... and it would be 2400#. We're building this to be Greg's "Track Car" that he races in NASA's TTU class some. So we built it much more durable ... and safer. It will be about 2600#-2650#.

Me either but sometimes I can't help myself..... We're all great friends -- and then I go back and read something and think "WOW!" someone reading that would think we hate each other.... It's funnier I think if you're all hanging out in the garage drinking beer... But! That's the internet....

I looked at your BMF beginning post last night.....

The first post was 9/2010 - Roughly EIGHT years ago....


The first post begins with "After being forced to sell my previous 68 earlier this year......"

And then goes on to state..... "I learned a lot from the past build about myself, shops, estimates, priorities, etc... "


Maybe - since we're changing thread names here..... we should rename your thread to "My 8 year pile of rusted parts" --- or maybe --- "I guess I really didn't learn a thing about trying to build cars"

Hey Y'all !!!

I just started a "Track-Warrior Builds - RSRT & BYO" thread on Sunday that shows 3 of the 15 RSRT Track-Warrior Builds. A lot of people don't know there are that many being built, because only a couple have build threads.

In the "Track-Warrior Builds - RSRT & BYO" thread, we're going to show most, if not all of them, in one thread HERE. This thread is not showing up in the "New Posts" or "Today's Posts" currently. Not sure why. I'll reach out to Jody.

Super glad Greg started this thread, as we'll show all the details of his build here. Since the concept of building a wide body Mustang is cool in itself, I'll start by showing some of body build photos & tell that story. Then we'll catch everyone up on the chassis, engine, trans & other cool parts of this build.

Pull up a chair & grab some popcorn, because this is going to be a cool build in an amazing short time.

I noticed the other day that my shop build thread is the same way, doesn't show up under either as well. Not sure if it helps or not but it might help Jody figure out what's up.

Can't wait to watch this and the other Track Warrior builds progress!!

Some people need "parts" to try to go faster..... Some just need to get in the car.
