oh, a couple more quick comments. This was originally labeled a pro mod build. but that it is not. all but the engine set up resembles something more like an outlaw 10.5 car. or an outlaw street. Something like what Billy Glidden Runs. The engine is not correct for any lower class drag car, as they wouldn't be running two magneto's or twin fuel pumps. but I like it. lol

Just to toot my own horn a little, I think I NAILED the stance on this thing. I LOVE it

Very nice man. I like all of the little details - gives me some ideas for my Merc. Did you make those headers?
Good job on the 'Stang!

yep. The headers were made out of plumbers solder and some aluminum tubing and plastic stock for flanges. If a mod could add Completed Drag Contest Entry: 1999 Mustang Drag Car. thank you

wow great work on the chassis/frame! The car looks very menacing :evillol: I think it woulda helped though if you painted the black trim on the windshield

great job!

WOW looks great all but the hood not saying that i could do better i would just not use the hood but thats me

it looks great! i like that engine a lot. is one side of the hood higher than the other?

yes, the hood has a hump on the passenger side to clear the magneto's
