Handbuilt from scratch.  Powered by a 350hp computer controlled, fuel injected, turbocharged 2.3 liter 4cyl.  T5 trans and Ford 8" rear.  This thing goes like a bat outta hell and gets 30 mpg!  I do need to get some lower gears in the rearend, though.  Proof positive, hot rod's can still be built for under 5 grand!

Here's the build thread...….
