Background & Plans
2012 Mustang BOSS 302 with a 2011 Mustang V6 chassis (shadow black). 100% swap: engine, transmission, suspension, exhaust, exterior, and interior down to the smallest bits of trim.
Car is a stock 2012 BOSS 302 aside from mods.
The donor car was wrecked salvage.

This car is my badass daily driven dream car. I do plan on tracking the car, but mostly just for fun and to test the build.
My goal is to enjoy lightly modifying the car and to maintain it in the best condition I can for as long as I can.

I'd like to thank the members of this forum and it's sponsors for the wealth of information provided here. This forum was referenced frequently during the building of this car.
