    New guy from guess where

    Hello all! Since I never get enough talking about Mustangs and drag racing I thought I should check this site out. As you may have guessed I live in Altoona. I'm 57 years old and some say I'm going through my second childhood, but my wife reminds them that my second childhood was actually 20 years ago when I bought my Harley, so this would have to be my third childhood.

    I bought my Mustang 3 years ago needing a lot of TLC and have since sunk way too much time and money into it, but I've enjoyed almost every minute of it.

    I'm proud to say this is my car and I've done everything on it myself, from body work and paint to new motor, rebuilt trans, etc.

    Here she is all shined up.





    And here's a shot of her at the playground.

    It's a mild 393, since I want it to be reliable long term. I probably went a little too small on the cam though and might change that at some point. It's got a T5 that I rebuilt and an 8.8 rear with 3.73's.

    Don't know as it's never been dynoed, but judging by trap speed I'd say 350ish.
