Maybe if we stopped playing with trucks we'd have more updates on the car.

I think he (and his crew) shot a TV show called Street Outlaws that airs after Fast and Loud next Monday. At least that's what it appears to me based on some YB posts.

As I gather parts and materials for my 90 bird your build is keeping me inspired... I was under my car Saturday... still debating suspension choice... I've decided no on a 4 link... Im either going to use an adjustable torque arm or ladder bars... Meanwhile been practicin my tig skills and playin with a Dillon-Henrob torch... (thing cuts cleaner/finer than the shops plasma cutter and welds aluminum surprisingly well)

Anyway this car of yours is going to be killer when its done... if mine turns out half as well I'll be pleased!

The Mustang guys said, when called on it, that the torque arm didn't help their ET or 60, but it made the car more stable.

BS or not, I don't know.

IMO much like running extra long upper arms on a 4 link... BMR has a shortened one that uses a seperate crossmember or a stock length that bolts to their t400 trans cross member... both are adjustable.. they suggest the short one for 7-10 sec cars.
I like this vs traditional 4 link as it fits alot of classes that call for "stock type" suspension.

Awesome build!! I can't wait to see it run. When I first saw the show I thought it was pretty cool, except it was missing a Pontiac in the #1 spot. It looks like it is just a matter of time now. I'll be rooting for you. Even though my fellow Texans embarrassed themselves against okc. I've been giving our guys a hard time for that on dfwmustangs.net http://www.dfwmustangs.net/forums/sh...=46194&page=16 I won't point anyone to this thread. Us Pontiac guys are a small breed and have to stick together. But as for the other guys on the list tell'em the Tamer's coming!! : D

Looks good.



Is that like a relief plug in the fuel rail?
