    I hope somebody out there has some more - I'm about out. Just not that easy to find pictures of these beauties as it is the Chevy's.

    This one was for sale for about $2500 in Racing News or something like that a couple months back. If I hadn't already started building one, I would have bought it:

    Yeah, that one looks great. Cool that it has the look even without a straight axle.

    Just watched it - damn! That car is unreal! And when they get that blower on that engine, it becomes sublime! Fun watching the video of Brian making his license pass in the car.

    Nice!

  26. Looks like the return of the GunFighter.......thanks 48!
     
  27. I like 'em! Is there some kind of "guide" to ID the differences in Fords between the years? I can tell the Chevys in pitch dark by touch. Not so with Fords. Would like to learn more about them.
