Motorcraft Mustang GTO

[Sherman 18]

I'm in with this ISMA/SCCA Mustang. Love these fat cars.

A couple things that has me worried about doing this;
1) there's a lot of plumbing - a lot
2) kit has some short comings, sink marks, No brakes etc
3) I have poor research on these mid eights Roush cars and I don't know if I can handle leaving detail out or guessing.
4) not sure if I can finish this on time

One good thing going for this build is, it is a Roush car and these cars changed race to race

Start up photos

Started to sand mold line out of the slicks

The whole bottom of the chassis is full of sink marks

fill, sand and repeat :facepalm

I'm a drag racer at heart, but where did Roush start with racing - Running Super Stock, then Prostock drag cars.

Could not sleep today so spend some time on Googler. Good news is I found that someone had taken pictures of chassis #4 when it was restored. I was a right clicking fool :yipee

Not sure if I just stepped into something or what can I opened

check out some of the photos :drool

I'm going to need a bunch of duze fasteners

I also noticed the suspension is not a whole lot different then a drag car/hot rod. SWEET! B)
