My 85 GT Project..

First off, i just wanted to say hello to everyone on the forum and glad to be a part of it. Im making this thread to show the start-finish of my project. This is going to be an all out street drag car, running a consistant low 10/high 9 all day. Will be investing alot of money and no shortcuts are going to be taken. It will be getting a completly built forged 466ci transplant and will be running nitrous. Well heres the pics, and i will keep updating and adding as the time goes by and more work is done. Hope you enjoy.

Heres how its starting out. A 1985 Mustang GT. Just a rolling chassis, nothing in it, no engine or tranny.
