I have been hot rodding for about fourty years.I got my Shelby Charger in january of 2006 and have put about 400 hours into getting it running and repainted. The next step is increasing performance.
I am also building a 1938 Ford tudor sedan deluxe hot rod. It has a 5.0 and a C-4 trans. This project will continue for about 2 more years before completed. The Shelby will give me my acceleration fixes for the present.
