Louis Borother's shop has just about transformed this stock uni-body platform into a racing chassis.Chassis from the 66 Revell Shelby Mustang. Front clip from early NASCAR. The obligatory scratch-built roll cage with assorted bars and such. Body is the AMT '73 "Stang with the A-pillars chopped about 4" or so. More to come!

Got the stance about right where it's gonna go. Can't get it much lower or I'll go clean through the front fenders! Undecided on paint wheels and tires, but it looks like the NASCAR small block Ford will fit under the hood OK!

This reminds me SOOOOOO much of one of my favs when I was growing up, Georgia's own Jody Ridley. Go on, ask Ronr about him! LOL! I'd love to see it painted like this! Looking great so far!
