Bad ass

[jimfitzgerald]

Renegade?

[DARKHRSE99]

Ken Are you still going with the combo we talked about last year at your shop?

[Starkie]

Oh how the mighty have fallen......:teeth:

Starkie

Starkie


But will be badder than any...er...I mean ever.


I doubt it's the same combo we talked about since I've changed my mind about 10 times since then. lol

[y2k2gt]

Is it going to be a 2v? That would just be badass.

[BigCohiba]

:headbang:

Bad ass

Absolutely. I'm glad to see it getting dusted off. Too much time working on other peoples cars. Time to build yourself an animal. This car inspired me to start modding mine when it was brand new. I still remember that old vid on the Corral after you got the headers installed ...... that seems like forever ago.

[Rich@MD]

Ken, this idea rocks. I can't wait to see what you have in store. Good luck with the project man....

I have that vid on my dell. Hell I got pics of the car with BBS wheels on it :headbang:

Hey no "horse"play, LOL.


Glad to see it ken!!!. That car is the reason I bought a silver stang. Loved it in the June 2004 issue of 5.0 mustang and Super Ford and then I met you through Craig and watched the car run. This car helped start MD and depressed me everytime I saw it sitting in the corner of the shop. I hope you got the funding to compete in the class you was talking about wanting to run.

Best of luck to you Im sure you guys will continue to impress everyone with what develops.

Who wants to take bets it gets a pushrod and carbs? :)

x2

That car was the reason I contacted Ken, and ditched my boxed tune. I've been with MD since. I remember thinking, "who is this hot-shot with a N/A 4.6 that is running 11's, soon to be 10s?" "He's doing something right....."

[mogs01gt]

I say a mod engine with a carb.

[Rich@MD]

I say 4V with a single turbo... 160+ through the traps

[KenB]

No one is 100% right yet although Rich is pretty close. Thanks for all the positive comments. I'll give one more hint, since it's project resurrection, I think it's only proper to bring it back out where I started...sorta.:evil:

[AR1Grdpoundr]

i figured you'd bring it back to go after the 2v na record

[y2k2gt]

Damn, I 2v with a big turbo. How do you think it will stack up to the high hp kb's???

[DARKHRSE99]

I think it's going to be a 331ci twin turbo setup if memory serves me right.

[rhoover2]

Awesome Ken. Glad to see you getting her back on the strip! Is it getting the engine you picked up at BES?

[awdrocks]

Cool Ken. Subscribing.

[F8L SN8K]

I think someone is going RENEGADE racing.

[Chris@GMS]

I say 5.4 2v Single Turbo.....

[Real-slo98]

Drag Radial.....:)

[Nitro Lew]

pushrods ????:Clue:

Lew

[F8L SN8K]

pushrods ????:Clue:

Lew

He's not that dumb LOL

[HyperGT]

Yeah, this is the car I followed suit with to break the 2V NA horsepower record (stock displacement) and went broke doing so! Haha, you better make that damn thing run 2V again Ken!!!!

[KenB]

Ok, Still not going to reveal the whole plan as it could always change. But the project should start getting underway a little at a time next week. Phase I will be to completely strip the car down, cut off the roof and install the 25.2 cage:evil: I'll be taking tons of pictures and some videos as things progress.


Lew, It will definitely be a Modular.

Give me a call, cell phone crashed on me with no backup and I lost most of my numbers.


Been getting a few minutes here and there to start on her. Plan right now it to completely strip it down. Got most of the outside done, hope to have it down to a shell by next weekend.

[96SOHC]

Looking good Ken. For the areas I have circled (bumper accordian brackets)...do they bolt on, or do you cut them off?

[KenB]

You have to cut them off.

[96SOHC]

Cool, thanks Ken. Looks like it's time for the old sawzall!

[KenB]

Should be close to a bare shell by the end of today. Glass is out, interior is out. Need to cut out the cage and some interior panel and strip the brake lines and it's time to do alot of cleaning. I'll post pics later today.

[96SOHC]

"cut out the cage"...must be time for a faster class!

i was thinking about cutting these out too how much do you think they are worth for in weight???

[SHALOM96]

never mind i cut them out the other day..

[Yellow4.6]

Good to see the ol girl getting back into the fight!:evil:

[Pootiestang]

Awesome! I am just as glad as everyone else to see this project coming back around.

I want to shell my car down and do a complete rebuild as well. Not because it was every fast or ever set any records, but because it really needs love! lol

I cannot wait to end these college days!

[XtremeBuford]

Your old 2v was one of the biggest influences in the mod motor world. That's why I started building mine, thats why most of the guys on here started.

This new combination will influence a whole new group of guys!!

Can't wait to see it!!!!!!!

[Sharad]

I'm guessing something along the lines of Mike Moss/Chris Crown...
