Look at those headers glow

Looking good Jesse and the FRPP crew. Insane durability for a this type of engine and application.

Very interesting to see some of the paint process. Including dead time for things like drying, masking, touch up, etc.; how long does it take from initial wash until the top coat is dry? I'm guessing 2 hours??

I don't want a Chevy, don't want no MGB.
I'm goin up to Detroit to pick up a Ford for Me!!!

OK, I'm a MoPar guy (no, really?) BUT you gotta give it to Ford for getting so deep into the racing thing. I just wish all manufacturers would be more honest with the HP figures. This aspect kinda turns me off. Love the new cars but they advertise a 3250 lb. car that runs in the eights and rated at 325 hp? OK, I was born at night but not last night.

Thanks for the info and pictures! Very interesting for sure. Jim

Was that a dirty jab?.....naw obama motors deserves it. Wonder if he'll appoint a "racing czar"? Then he can pick winners and losers in racing too...and GE can build the cars in China....

Awesome photo's though! The 60's are back! The factories building racecars and you don't have to wait for a monthly magazine to see them 3 months later!

GO FORD!!!

Careful mister! You are really walking the line here! This is your last warning about politics. Next time I will ban you for life and take away your voters registration card!

Just wondering but does anyone know how much a Mustang body-in-white is or if they even sell'em, and post a link if you have anything...

Yes you can purchase the BIW competition kit. You have to have your order in by June 1st and be approved by FRPP to purchase one. Only Racers are eligible. http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...KeyField=22711

Call an FRPP dealers to get the best price. I ordered mine from Mike@Diversified products(BuyFordRacing).

Pick up is scheduled for mid August. On front page http://www.classracer.com/Mustang%20...s%20Retail.pdf.

Thanks for the links, I was just doing a price comparison on the Mustang BIW compared to the Challenger BIW...they are both good looking cars.
