Well a while back (4 months), I traded my built + supercharged '98 Ram Sport SSP truck. Truck was loaded with all power options. Eddy heads-m1 intake-360>384ci-.580 cam-powerdyne s/c-fmic, just a fun fuckin truck. Well I traded it up for a 25.2 spec tubbed '93 Fox Mustang. Came with a knocking 347ci>t5.

Repoman(Nick) seen this car at the beginning stages, well needless to say its changed. The car is finished,.. Although it's with Steve @ Thunder getting wired up-head to tail.

Ill start with how the car started>the engine up process>finished pics>fully complete.

I have alot of time & money into this thing & this will be my full out racecar that i have dreamed of since i was a little jit. I teared up when I went to daves shop & seen my racecar. Hope you guys enjoy the pics. I really hope some of you guys come to the track & see it on destroy mode.

Onto the pics.

This is when the shortblock was first assembled all the way when it was complete intake to oil pan.

I'm confused here...those are the same pics that are in the link that Adam posted above.

That being said, Jeff, are you saying you traded your truck for this car to the owner, Shelbybull/Tony, during the build?

his 4k truck was traded for a chassis certified to run threw the 6.5s+.

this is a co owned car. i funded most, but for a man to trade a vehicle he built for a janky chassis with 8k cage is surprising. but x275 is what is the goal. possibly sso comp. either way its going to be competive no matter where we put it.

Here is a link to the mobile uploads album the owner, Mr. Tony Alm has on his Facebook account:

^ Yes, and Tony's girlfriend lives in West Palm too. And judging by the one pic of Tony standing by the mustang in one of the pics in Adam's link, I don't think Tony was born in 1951....at least he doesn't look 61 years old.

I also messaged the owner of the Foxbody via Facebook last night. But, have yet to receive a reply. But, judging by his FB activity, he isn't very active on there.
