Nice car! Is he going to let you drive it?

BTW, here's a picture of the 66 GT350H where I work.

Beautiful car!

Clearly, a serious purpose-built race car. Was curious as to what sanctioning body's rules allowed tube-framed (with stock bodies) cars and in what class, though? I'd always assumed that all of the Vintage Racing associations (road racing) required the cars to be essentially configured as they were back when they were new.

Actually, he built it just for non-sanctioned open track events (SAAC, MCA, etc.)- no classes in mind. It started as a $300 rusty hulk. Cut the body off of the unibody sections, then had a guy who runs in the Darlington Dash series to build a frame to fit the body.

Looks like a pretty full "weekends" work! "G"

That is one bad MOFO! I can't wait to see her run. I'm sure there will be a line of riders waiting.

BTW, what are those holes in the taillight panel for? Ventilation?

 

[mgreene]

Yeah, he decided to go with those instead of the RModel type rear window.

Nothing more than a thinly disguised, rebodied Celica! /forums/images/icons/wink.gif Seriously, looks like a car with bad intentions, but the reused TRD dash MUST be repainted! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Wow...Now we know what a 66 Mustang FB Winston Cup car would look like!

 

[mgreene]

Believe it or not, his first option was to buy a Darlington Dash frame from a Celica that had been crunched - but it was too tweaked to work, so they built one to fit the Mustang from scratch...
