how heavy is the Mustang?

With last build it was 3850 lbs with driver....so hoping for around 3500 lbs

Is it being built just outside of Baton Rouge?

That's right...at Total Performance Solutions in Prairieville. The car and trailer stay at the shop.

Car has gone through quite a few major changes over time, from Procharger to 67, then 76mm turbo and all the associated traction, fuel, motor changes along the way.

I call this one a complete rebuild since the 302 blew and was rebuilt. Especially since car has been removed from the street permanently. Major changes since last build are:

302 rebuilt stronger
custom heads and cams
4r70w to 2 speed powerglide
custom driveshaft with GM yoke
stock intake manifold to JPC
300+ lbs weight reduction
return style fuel system and fuel cell
Kirkeys race seats
antennae delete
a/c delete
sound system delete
GT fender emblems delete
rear center brake light delete
2 tone repaint

that's about it (I think) for major stuff?

If I remember correctly, you said your rear gear was totally locked? Spool?

Yes. Spool which was present with last build. Have changed gearing from 4.10 to 3.50 with new build.
