    It does have a manual valve body. But this happen when I was towing the car. I'm not 100% sure how. I was flat toeing it and the best I can tell is that the exhaust systems must have hit something ripped off and part of it waged itself between the road and the tail shaft.

      If you flat towed it without pulling the driveshaft it will seize the the main shaft from lack of lubrication to the main shaft locking it up solid and usually breaking the yoke or driveshaft.

        Drive shaft was off, yoke was in. One funny thing the yoke was still sitting on the end of the shaft like nothing happened.

        • Looks pretty much the same as when I bought it!

          • Roll bar rule from current or maybe 2013 NHRA book. Still correct. I would make it a six point as the chassis stiffening s worth it even with a swing out bar on both sides.

                      What about lower seat belt mounting? I have a 5 way harness, the top two straps are connected to the bar behind the seat. Can the others be bolted thru the floor board?

                      Thanks

                      • I'm close enough now I hope to go get some TNT Wednesday night with the ol 4.8 turbo stang. It probably won't be that great on et's as it will be its first outing to track since the build and it will be all about figuring out launch rpm and boost on the transbrake and dialing in the holley boost controller.

I should be starting mine for the first time this weekend. i finished going through my rearend changed the 456 out for 390s, picd up a new diff cover, and checked the bag in the passenger spring for leaks. also finished up the 18gal fuel cell and battery box install. time is flying i hope to be testing N/A within the next 3 weeks. can't wait to hear your times that build seems really impressive. i gota know where the bar is on budget built mustangs.

                            Bob,
                            When you say, "hit hotel", you mean you slept over between days at the track, right?? Just checking...
