Looks like mine will be #1226. The description is up on the Backdraft site but not a picture yet. Hope to see it for the first time any time now. Gets more exciting everyday. Looking foward to seeing the build process.

My car is in your group, looks like #1230 for now. Congrats on the new toy, I'm quite sure you will love the BDR and the guys at Vintage know these cars top to bottom.

I'll be watching your build, probably be right next to one another on the Vintage build page

Yours is the tux black with green outline. That is going to be one sick ride.
What engine are you going with in yours? It looks like you already have one are you keeping both or upgrading?

I sold the other car, I was going to just switch out the motor originally but with the additional horsepower we felt best doing solid mounts all around along with a few other things, which is a lot of work so we decided to just sell the other car (which sold in 1 day BTW) and build this one with everything we needed from the start.

I had an all alum 427 from Ford Racing-going with a 445CI NA motor, I thought hard about going the modern route but decided to stick with old school. Jay had a Coyote set up at the AC show...they did a super sweet job on it and its hard to argue with the turn key drivability of the modern set ups. I recall him ribbing me about how the hood hardware was less of a concern to the owners of the newer style engines because they seldom had to open it...

Best of luck-you're going to love it, not your typical hot rod

Thanks. Looking foward to seeing yours come together as well.
