We saw John race this car at Lakeside in July, and in the last race on the Sunday, John English was having a good duel with Ian Palmer in the Plymouth Cuda.

Just looking at the pics, it looks like he had the front end sorted out nice and tight as well, sitting flat while others lean.
Lovely job.

Great to see some notchback Mustangs on track - ours all seem to be fastback models.

Here it is, looking pretty as a picture. This is its first test session, completed just recently at Queensland Raceway. Thats John English at the wheel. John owns the car and commissioned Woody to build it for him. John has been racing a '70 Camaro the last few years in ATA, but is really a Ford guy.

Good to see a notchback Mustang as a change from all of the fastback models.

Latest pics of the Mustang. Lookin' great and will be ready for testing next week. Aussie race fans will get to see this car in action at the opening round of the 2014 Australian Trans-Am series at Lakeside on March 15/16. New Zealand race fans will likely get to see this car at the 2015 New Zealand Festival of Motor Racing, along with several other Aussie Trans-Am cars which are planning to make the trip across the ditch again to race with Historic Muscle Cars.

Its been a while since I updated this build thread. As you can see, the Mustang has progressed massively! The motor has been completed and dynod. All fabrication work is done, the car torn down, and painted. Now for the final fit and finish. As you can see, it looks amazing! It should turn a wheel in anger for the first time in the next couple of weeks.
