Tuskegee. Nice tribute to that group of pilots. They did not get the respect initially they deserved. Many bombers felt secure when they came onto the scene.

Great looking Mustang.

That's cool.

Those side-exit exhausts won't give much ground clearance though, LOL.

Hey guys, I am building the car and have a build thread on the car here.

https://themustangsource.com/f726/20...quired-509716/

I wasn't able to say much about it before, but now that the car has been announced and the rendering released, I can reveal a bit more about it.

I will post updated pics in both threads.

those side pipes look like they're about to pop some eardrums, so awesome.

That's cool. I'm sure most know the P-51 was the inspiration for naming these Mustangs.

However, how many know the P-51's really a Chevy...w/a Limey motor.

Built by North American, which @ the time was a subsidiary of GM, and powered (not by design, either) one hell of a motor, the Rolls Royce Merlin (although I think most of them were built on conseignment by Packard).

Impressive story behind the developement of that plane, the 'D' version arguably the finest piston engine fighter ever built, and it was done so in a remarkable short period of time.

Chuck Yeager shot down an ME-262 in one (twin engine German jet fighter), but he takes little credit for it as it was either taking off or landing when he did (they were ~ 100mph faster then the Mustang).

And although I was disappointed in the latest movie, a lot of the computer generated scenes were great.

Not true, and here's why. If you happen to be an MCA member, and get the magazine each month, about a year ago, they did a story on the lady who was the Mustang promotions manager (I believe). Her car had these EXACT same 4-tip side exhaust pipes!!! And she drives the car all the time with no issues!!!! THAT FEATURE IS SO COOL!!!

I stand corrected

I loved the twin pipes on the SLR Mclaren......although those were "embedded" into the sill

Looking forward to following the build!
