So by popular request I'm going to continue the build thread of SGT-C # 4755 here instead of on the " White SGT " thread . I bought the car used for a good price with 83,000 miles on it with the intention of building it into a SCCA SPEC MUSTANG class race car. Watch here for the posts on the build . KP

www.v8supercarswest.com/Contact_Us.html is the link and as soon as the 2013 SCCA GCR book comes out it will be in as a supplement . The class has been accepted by the SCCA and is debuting in the San Francisco Region which runs races on Laguna Seca Raceway , Sonoma Raceway , and Thunderhill Raceway - all in Northern California .  David Ray , who runs " Hooked on Driving " has spearheaded this and I'm sure his intentions are to get it to spread into other areas of the country as he has done with HOD Open Track events through the various SCCA reigons .

Shot peened the spindles/knuckles today and had them magnafluxed - everything looks good (83,000 miles on these babies). Painted and prepped to go back on with FRPP hub assemblies ( M-1104-A ) which come with the long (ARP) wheels studs and the CorteX strut/coil over setup.
