with drives the '64 Galaxie and gets a tour of Ruffian HQ in their latest YouTube video (link in my bio). Worth turning on subtitles as the 'ol Galaxie is pretty loud! I've been watching Henry's videos for a few years now. I love how genuine he is and how excited he gets about cool cars. Never imagined I'd meet him, much less get featured. It's a wild world we live in. Thanks Henry, I hope we get to do it again soon!

Very first test drive of the '69! We have about a week's worth of work to do before we blow it all apart for paint and coatings. The test drive went smooth. Car feels good. We have to inspect everything Monday, bleed the power steering rack and move the O2 sensor location. We are going to add a crossover pipe to the exhaust and work on a rear spoiler. Once the car is off to paint we will continue to work on the carbon parts.

Front end is starting to come together on the '69. 🤤
carbon fenders and hood. You think we should do a production run of the carbon front spoiler and canards? Should bolt on to any '69-'70.

The '69 Mustang lives! This is a NASCAR inspired build with 845HP. It's gonna be a monster. We are doing a full carbon front end with a Kaase built Boss 9 motor pushed back 12" and breathing through mufflers. It's backed by a T56 with GForce dog ring gears sitting in a chassis with IRS. We are running a Terminator and digital dash.
