  1. Are you donating it to the cause? ?Of course you will need to throw in the tremec transmission. ?
  2. This sounds intriguing. I will do my research, and go through the stash to see what I have that will get the juices flowing. Ok, read through the official rules and picked my car. I am going with a 65-66 mustang. I owned a 65 Falcon Futura sedan with a two bbl 289/C4. At 55mph it got 25mpg and had plenty of torque, and since the 64-66 mustangs are re-skinned Falcons, they should have comparable specs. (Little known useless fact, 1965 Falcon sprint hardtop was lighter and faster than its brother, the 65 Mustang hardtop with gt package.) If i understood correctly, the rules said you could upgrade the cooling system with electric fans and chassis reinforcement. So for the sake of period correctness. I could add subframe connectors, over the counter heavy duty shocks, and front and rear sway bars. This era Mustang also was available with a posi rear-end. Does all that seem correct to those who have done this before?
  3. Received this from a member sometime last year. It will be built oob. The very first big rig I built was the Peterbilt version, so this will make a nice addition. Color scheme is yet to come. I am missing the steering wheel if someone happens to have one.
  4. I really feel bad about throwing my hat in the ring...again, seeing as I have yet to finish one. But here goes. Pile of parts from an old buildup '67 Chevelle, and a few period race car parts. It will have a big block....of some kind.
