These are pics of my girl betty in the various stages of paint and drive train. the most recent ones have her in all black, with black steelies, and the mr horsepower logos on the fender. we've come a long way! Btw I did 90% of the work myself in mine or friends garages. If you can't tell by the pictures, I race. my home track is in ubly,MI(IHRA), but i've been known to race at lapeer intl. dragway(independent) too. and yes i street race too. there's nothing like mopping up a mustang gt with a full size four door sedan( i run a 462c.i. big block chevrolet, easily over 550ftlbs of torque!). ive outrun a new challenger, too, but i think he probably just got scared after we hit 110 mph. maybe I was just lucky. oh, and i still dont have $3000 in this car yet! DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!
