We were very fortunate to be able to order this wonderful
new vehicle this year. The intent is to use this along with Silver Streak, as another platform to test both our own new parts
and those offered by others. We ordered this car from Beechmont Ford, in February of 2012 and took delivery in 06-14-12. While
we do not get any reimbursement from them nor are we affiliated in any way with their business, I must say if you are in the
area and need a Ford product, I would certainly give them a call or drop in and say hello to Terry: also known by many in
the Mustang world as "BeefCake". They have certainly treated us great and I would venture to say, they will treat
you the same.
While I do not have a master plan for the Boss 302, unlike the Silver Streak car
which will be modified greatly with a Twin Turbo set-up and used for serious street and strip duty, we will track every modification,
both good and bad, for everyone interest. Right away, before we even took delivery we knew there were several modifications
we had to make. First was a strut type hood lift, to hold the hood up by itself. Next was a exhaust cut-out system to use
those side exhaust pipes on the Boss to good use and finally we knew we wanted to install a breather system on the engine.
After that, we will just have to see.
