Nice job on the Mach 1 Chad. It looks great. Have you had any problem with the headers with that tube going under the crossmember? /paul

Chad Thanks for your comments. Your car looks great. The engine and detail under the hood is perfect. I don't think any more power is required for your car. That is one awsome sleeper as it is. Brad

Nice Mustang II. A 347 under the hood of that 'Stang would be a sweet addition. Keep up the good work on your Ford. Sign my g-book. Thanks!
