Roy's car does jump. Thanks for the links, something I would like to do in the future. Right now I just want to get it finished and on the road. And they do have some cool knobs!

My 66 Mustang fastback, was my first car bought it for $300 in 1984, now has a 347 with 4.22 gears. I built a custom t-5 with .60 5th gear and cryogenically treated gears. Rockets down the strip and still cruises down the highway no problem.
That's NICE! Love the early fastbacks, don't see many around here.

Yellow Lakewoods bring back a lot of old memories. Was wondering how they would look on red Comets. Hmmm.............
Last pair I had was on black Mustang, Not bad.

I got those a year after I bought the car in the mid 80's. They probably don't work as good as Caltracs, but they do work and I think they look cool.

Back in the '70s, a trooper friend told me my Mustang looked like a drag car.
I was glad he didn't work patrol.

yep!
