Very nice!!!!
Very nice!!!!
I love these kind of modifications for two reasons. 1 - Nice quality work and it will be a great car. 2 - The more these cars are modified it drives the value of original factory Mustangs like I have higher. It's kind of a conflicting statement from me, but I still like both types of approaches. Can't wait to see it done. You will surely love it when it's completed.
It's obvious that whoever you have working on your car knows how to build a proper drag car. The craftsman ship is amazing, as is the attention to detail. Cars like this aren't my cup of tea, but I like this one (because it's being done so well). You're gonna have a blast with it when it's finished. Is this car getting painted a bright green? I thought that's what I read a long while back?
Cheers!

I changed my mine on the bright green. Thought it was a little too much. For now it looks like maybe a Burnt Orange or something. Car was originally a Black car, but there are soo many of them in that color. Also, it is very hard to keep clean and very hot in summer.
Let the fun begin.

Your fuel log looks a tad on the small side lol that prosystem carb looks thirsty
Very nice work to you and your chosen shop
Thanks. I am thinking of switching where the fuel supply and return line enter the engine bay. I currently have them behind the Passenger Strut Tower area. But I am thinking I might put them infront of the Strut Tower and route them around the front of the Passenger Valve Cover and keep the By-Pass Regulator towards the rear of engine. Never really like the idea of having the fuel lines near the firewall area.

This setup works good off of apron
This whole build is super nice! Great skill here! Question: On your in floor sub connectors, what size pipe did you go with? What about interference with where your feet sit?

Nice. Is there pros and cons to different mounting locations? Sometimes I see it mounted way higher. (Curious, I'm not at all a drag racer)

Not really. Just trying to get all the panels even and flush with each other.
Cool, looking good. That's a big cowl. I only have the 2.5 Cervinis one, but with my Kirkey road race seat pretty much on the floor it is kind of hard to see over the hood.
