Thanks Jon, the main thing I need to do is get some sticky rubber out back, I have a pair of 305/30/19 Toyo R888's in the basement that won't fit now because the IRS swap moved the rear wheels out. Traction is a joke right now. The car made 495rwhp/494rwtq on a mustang dyno (both numbers would probably crest over 500 on a dynojet) so street tires don't cut it at all, lol.

I had no idea your car was as pretty underneath as it is Everywhere else! did you have your k member painted or powdercoated??

That pic is of the rear, I smoothed and powder coated the IRS. I have tons of pictures of the build on my camera, I just haven't loaded them onto my computer yet. I'll try to get them on my comp and post a pic tomorrow.

Fantastic show! I go every year. Seeing all the sick sn95s really inspired me to start modding mine! I'll have it up there one of these years. My dad had his '70 'stang in the 69-73 (I believe) modified class.

sharpie car was pretty impressive. it was a little too busy but then again thats half the point.

head gasket popped tuesday. stripped it down to there tuesday night but just couldn't get the pass side header off to get the head out. so i said screw it, the car is missing Carlisle this year. makes it worse is that i had some big things change for the body this year.

I understand how it feels bro .. I took mine apart last week and just getting it back together today .. Ordered the wrong head studs FUCK ME.. Ordered 154 4005 and needed 154 4001 I guess .. Then I have to return the wrong ones to summit and wait for my money back it sucks... The biggest pain in my ass with taking the heads off is pulling the power steering pulley .. Love the pics they look great and your cars front bumper is looking good also .. WHo makes it ?

Probably my favorite car. He wore his battle wounds proudly!

Yeah... we were running down at Summit Point in WV when this happened. He managed to get his track wheels, luggage and kid all in his car haha we gave him a hand and through his track wheels in the back of our truck and brought them home. He lives in mid-Jersey. Actually got hit by a black GT500 that didn't really know what he was doing... it's a shame, but the guy said he would pay for it. Also had a 2012 Boss 302 with 400 miles on it blow up, shit oil all over turn 10 and caught fire... and I owe my dad a set of brakes.It was an interesting 2 days at the track.

P.S. Our shelby was parked right next to him at Carlisle, although it looks like you took this pic before we got there.

I took this Friday morning right after the "Shelby Parade". The black car you mentioned that hit him was there also and I took a picture of his as well but my iPhone is ghey and didn't save it. I wanted to come down Saturday but I had a Phillies game at 4 so that wouldn't of worked out. Seems like I missed out on a lot.
