    New member from Georgia

    Hi everyone,
    I've been lurking the forums for a while reaserching on a build. Initially I was planning on building an 818c and even bought an 07WRX but when I saw the 35 hot rod truck I changed my mind sold the Subaru and now I will be receiving my kit latter this month.
    A little about me, I am a mechanical engineer that recently moved to Georgia from New Jersey and has experience working on cars mostly imports and jeeps.
    The 35 HRT kit options:
    Powdered coated chasis
    AC kit
    Tilt steering column
    Post pockets
    Wood bed kit
    Roadster seats
    Manual trans
    The build parts that I have so far:
    2015 2.3L ecoboost engine
    Ford racepack engine management
    MT82 trans with MGW relocating shifter stock clutch
    2007 Gt500 rear end with 3.31 gears and OEM brakes
    Raceline shift truck style wheels 18/20 with Nitto NT555G2
    Stealth in tank pump
    Mustang 94 OEM Cobra 13" front brakes
    Some other miscellaneous bits.

    Thanks
    AJ

    Welcome to the forum. I have been thinking about a build with the 2.3 ecoboost. It would be a great power source with great fuel mileage . Drove a friends Mustang with a moded ecoboost. It ran real strong. In a lighter car it would fly. Roger
