This is the rear of the car when I bought it.

The new inner and outer quarter.

After the quarter was on but before the flares were added.

We added the flares and the box tubing in the rocker panels.

And this is the first time I ever saw the car one solid color.

Much of the work was done before my dad built his new shop so we were using the posts in the old shop as a makeshift frame machine. This part the spray booth in the new shop.I couldnt wait for my passenger side rims so I set my car on the jack with the Driver side in place.

This is a little comparison of the stock front suspension next to the new components. I especially like the size difference between the bearings. Cant say I would feel safe doing high speed runs with those tiny things.

And for the heart of the beast is the Kuntz & Co. 412ci Almuninum SVO. The motor is a dry sump with a built in lifter valley scavenge port. It has been bored to 4.099 and has a 3.898 stroke. The mains have been modified with oil jets to squirt oil at the bottom of the pistons for anti detonation and lubrication. It has Ford steel crank, Childs and Albert h-beam rods, Venolia pistons and a custom ground Comp Cams solid roller Cam.

The heads are Edelbrock Victor Jr. That have been extensively modified. The intakes are 2.05" stainless steel valves with titanium retainers and the exhausts are 1.620" The Rockers are a T&D shaft mount setup driven by 3/8" pushrods.

This is the radiator and 12 gallon fuel cell.

The car I should have never sold. Awesome mods! It still amazes me how the market doesn't realize the value of this true exotic. If you're a true-blue Ford fan like I am, the only possibilities north of a Shelby Mustang are the Cobra, GT40 and Pantera. Check out my Boss some time - John
