Thanks for posting, and a great price. My car is not ready for a track day yet, I am all set up for some autocrossing.

Bryce, get some belts in that thing! Have you considered running your daily driver Mustang (or would you rather not risk it with your primary means of transportation?)

I really want to add safety items. If I am going over 80mph I really would like to at least have a four point roll bar and a 5 point harness. I only have a lap belt right now and I wont add an upper body restraint until I have a roll bar. I have 4.11 gears in there which should be great for an autocross but with my 3 speed trans I am going to run out of gears on a bigger track. For track days I need to step up my brake pad compounds and design my TOP SECRET super cool rear drum brake coolers.

I also want to chake the car down at a local autocross and get more confidence before I make a big commitment like willow...

That all makes sense Bryce. Very wisely thought out. I started investing more in safety gear well before the RTTX organizers rolled out there rules. People should be doing it for the right reasons IMO. Lookin fwd to seeing your car at El Toro.
