Hey, I just started this build as a side project to pass the time untill I finished up my CRX project, but I've really been getting into this one too, so I've decided to make a thread and show people the progress on this one too.
SVT Mustang Cobra
Planned modifications:
Custom drag chassis
Supercharged V8
Custom Carbon Fibre Funny Car Blower
Drag Slicks and Runners
Custom Carbon Fibre Drag Wing
Full Body Hinged (Going to open as a whole)
Custom Interior
Custom Carbon Fibre Seat (w/ racing harness)
Custom Rollcage (8-12pt)
Custom Fuel Cell
N20
Custom Carbon Fibre Dash
And most likley just a bland sponsorless result. :D
Here's a quick photo, I'll take more after work.

Between this and your CRX, I should get enough motivation to try my hand at this.

Yeah, and I'm making a hardtop and shaving it onto the body w/ custom windows.

that aint a funny car, funny cars have a full tube chassis, no custom interior, a aluminum seat, with some padding and a seatbelt, motor is to far forward, bodi is to high, if anything thats likes a pro-mod car

Pro-Stock, that's the word I was looking for, thanks. :D
And yes, I'm still working on the CRX, but it's all just real minor things so I'll take photos soon.

ok pro stock is a little more like it, + 97_sho is correct, funny car bodys are more sleek and have a lower appearance

Here they are, beautiful updates.
Ok here it goes, I added a small base cage, windshield, (roof in progress), pretty much the whole interior is scratch built, and it's very very tubbed.. I love it.
