My buddy Rybar, told me about this site, so I thought I would drop in and say hi.
My car is a 1967 Shelby tribute car. It's highly modified, but done in a stealthy way, so it appears very much like it should have looked, back in the day.
It was recently featured in Street Legal TV, and Stang TV
This car is no trailer queen, or garage queen. It gets driven a lot!
Unfortunately the engine, looks like it got hurt, at a recent track day. Due to an upgraded rear suspension, and wider front tires, and slightly better driving (by me) I think the engine got starved of oil for a minute during a high g corner.
Hoping the engine didn't get hurt too bad.
A couple pics, for now;

I'll do an ongoing build thread, soon.
Post track inspection found a coolant leak and bearing material and metal shavings in the oil filter.
I have to drop the oil pan, and check it out.
