F/SA Mustang

[ShipC1970]

Hey everyone!

My name is Chris and I thought id introduce myself and post a build thread for my mustang. It?s a 70 mustang coupe that I plan to hopefully have on the track for the 2026 season! It?s been an almost 2 year build process. I?ve had the car since high school and I?ve always wanted to get into drag racing so I thought what not better then stock eliminator since its ?budget friendly? (i use the term budget lightly haha). Had it sandblasted and painted, PMR did all the chassis work and currently tony hewes is building me a 351C that should be done by summer! Transmission is up in Washington at A-1 getting the works! Carburetors are being sent out this coming week to be built as i have to run a 4300 autolite. I think i might be able to make it to the Bakersfield divisional this year but might hold off as im thinking about doing Frank Hawley?s to get some seat time in since i have absolutely no idea what im doing but eager to learn and apply it to my program. I?m a young blood and new to this. Looking forward to meeting most of you D7 guys on here soon! I?m still trying to figure out how to upload photos of my build here but i will post some soon.

Cheers!
