    Aw Rick while I do have a particular fondness for Mustangs, I love most all classic muscle cars, even Chevys. As long as they have a manual transmission lol !

                  Yeah, prolly 1000ft lbs of torque to boot, but it can't beat the sound of an open exhaust 6L Chevy going over 7000RPM.

                                Glad to hear you only scuffed the Camaro a little Paul.....A bit hotter and you could have gone through the garage wall and ended up in the back yard Buddy!!! Oh, and speaking of all you (in good English) petrol heads, good to see you are all still revved up with no place to go!!!..........

                                BTW, anyone need a lift???.....

                                Sorry, it only has a small electric motor to drive the trolley and the lifting hook. Almost done on this piece. It just needs weathering, the left chain painted and the 2 chains added to the right side. The wheels rotate to sit between the stabilizer legs too. Lots more to do on this project and I got 17 days left...................
