Hello all, new to the forum.. Haven't even gotten the chance to browse yet. I look forward to reading all the information available to me, and learning whatever skills, tips, and tricks possibly acquirable.

I'm 24 years old, with a broad background in high performance automotive. I own a 1986 mustang gt with to those that understand, a 9:0:1 dart 363 stroker, Callie's forged internals, with J&E pistons. It's topped with AFR Renegade 225s, and has a csu 850cfm blow through carb on top of a victor jr intake. Fuel is supplied by a aeromotive a1000 fuel pump, and regulated with their 132-02 boost regulator. Induction is fed by a CG fabrications hot parts kit, with a Borg Warner s480 fitted with a billet 92mm compressor wheel. I drive it when I can and it sees' the track a bit as well. Makes 768rwhp at 21psi on c16 and just shy of 650 on 93 octane.

I am currently in a vocational welding program, and moving into taking AWS D1.1 practice tests, before actually sending a work piece out for the real bend test. I will them be moving into GTAW, then into GMAW, and FCAW from there. We will also be learning on pipe, with the opportunity to certify in that if possible. I have already progressed trough oxy-acetylene welding, and torch brazing. And look forward to the rest of the program, and hopefully my future career as a welder of more than one skill set.

In closing, I would like to extend a thank you to the creators in advance, for providing a place for people like myself, or those just looking to brush up on stuff, to come and get what they need.

Have a good day,
-William

Hey mate, Welcome along. That sounds like an awesome car, though you lost me a little with the list of parts and mods. I like looking at and watching cars, and learning real basic bits, but get a bit fuzzy when the techo talks starts.

Hope you get a look through the forum and find some fun stuff.

I will get some pictures up of the car soon enough, lots of welding that went on with the exhaust and intercooler piping, as well as the beautifully welding stainless exhaust manifolds up to the turbo. I appreciate the kind welcome, and yes I hope I can make great use of the forum and hopefully be here for the long haul.

Take care,
-William

Pleasure mate,

Have you seen the work from the dude at www.toxicfab.com He is a god, though I dont think he does v8s, mainly jap stuff.

Welcome to the site William! Hope you enjoy your stay here. Impressive list of "accessories" on the car. What kind of times you running?

Mick- what he's saying is his NHRA Comp Eliminator class car chews up Chevy's at the track.

Thanks mike and bob.

And yes I actually happen to follow toxicfab on Instagram and yes the work he produces is beautiful.

The car went 9.30s this year , shooting for 9.0s maybe a little faster next season lol.
And not much of a class racer, sees' the street a decent amount though lol

I just joined. You sound just like me as far as making ponies. I think I own a chunk of Summit. lol Starting to need fab work on my 02 F-150. The adjustable coilovers don't just bolt in.

I absolutely own a small chunk of summit, have spent a small fortune at the tallmadge store which is about 40 minutes from me. It's always fun going there, girl starts nagging and I disappear to summit lol

You fellas would love the roadkill show on Youtube, they spend a lot of their time,( and money) at summit.
