1995 Mustang GT new owner...
Hello to all from central Alabama!
I am a new member, and have recently been introduced to RoadRacing...and LOVE IT!!!
I bought my first Mustang (1967 coupe) when I was a teenager, and thankfully still have it. I am a lifelong Ford Mustang fan, and a natural step was to get into drag racing...as I was a young kid with a limited budget.
Growing up I found that there were waaay more folks with Chevrolets, but I could find and trade “decent” Chevy parts for some serious Ford parts from Chevy guys and gals that had a few Ford things they had but didn’t want or really need.
After many years away from Motorsports (my son was all about stick and ball sports and didn’t car anything at all about HotRods) here I am nose deep in building a safe but fast ride.
Now as a middle aged empty nester, I accepted and invite from a great friend to try RoadRacing. I did significantly better than I was hoping for...and this led to wanting to build my own ride.
I found an old 1995 Mustang GT (no engine or transmission) that had been modified for RoadRacing.
As best I can tell, it had lain dormant since 2007 in a basement.
So now it’s mine, I’m building it to possibly compete in Champ Car or Lemons Racing.
I’m fully open to any and all advice as I rebuild my ride...and just enjoy the process as much as the track time.
Thanks for allowing me in!
