Comments (by Allan Slocum):
I have seen this car many times, both apart and together.
All the work with the exception of machining and welding was done
by Randy. The car also has: T5, 1 piece drive shaft, HUGE BRAKES,
7.0" FORD rear end LSD. Randy has an engineering degree and
all modifications have been thourghly thought out. He uses the
"EEC Tuner" to control the fuel.
