Default change in plans

well boys and girls,

there has been a change in plans with my mach. It will no longer be going to the strip to race. I can't keep replaceing trannsmissions $$$$ is gonna run low. so now i will be starting another project called "Iron Man" that i will keep updated here. the basic run down of the project is stock iron everything (302)....what it will go in i dont know yet.

i will be having a photoshoot tomorrow of my car.
