Hey Rock Daddy if you want to pull an article email me at john@motorsports-media.com and we can talk about it. I need some halfway decent pictures basically.

Dave's Mustang is great, makes me want to run right out and build the same car.

I don't think that I'll be nearly that quick, but it's nice to know that people are making great power with these heads...

Awesome ride!
