$5000 budget Mustang

I'm supposed to be working on another car that I started 6years ago, yet I can't seem to stop flogging this one. Ran Daytona with Aaron Oberle, Tom Farrington and Jimi Day this past weekend. It was probably the most awesome thing I've done in a car.

The high banks at speed are just hard to describe, adjectives like awesome seem to fall short. Hanging out with your buddies, is why we do what we do, but banking is a really close second. Thanks for talking me into it Aaron.

Other then a big gearing faux pas, leaving me with a 145mph top speed, and my friends laughing as I bounced off the limiter all the way down the straights. The car worked great, it is a hammer, beat on it and toss it back in the box.

While home from work after a major surgery, I recently took the time to SLOWLY go through the whole thread and soak it all in. I love what you did with this car. I'm a Mopar guy through and through but if there was a Ford I could own, it would be a 65-66 mustang fastback. But the beautiful overall lines of the fastback (massaged of course!) along with the "what works best" approach on drivetrain/suspension is what makes your car so compelling. Thanks Ron!

I was a die hard Mopar guy growing up, did one of the first Gen 3 Hemi conversions in a 70 Cuda back in 2005, Chrysler Hemi running off LS1 computer. Loved that car.
