has anyone here ever built up a "body in white" from ford? We ( a buddy and myself) are thinking of building a body in white......05 mustang to drag race. Nothing mind shattering, just something simple, reliable and pretty quick.

its cheaper to buy a v-6 sell the parts you arent goign to use .. simple fact.
it costs thousands and thousands to get the interior parts and wireing etc etc to finish off a body in white.
most chassis shops will tell you this .. its just plain cheaper by the time you sell the stuff you arent going to use off to buy a v-6 and start from there.

I can't see that being the case. Its gonna be a race car, so it won't have any interior except the dash, and a seat. For the simple fact that we want the car as light as it can possibly be. Less weight means quicker times from less horsepower. The engine combo/wiring will be vintage 89-93 mass air with A9L computer...old school style. The important parts will be aftermarket and new anyway. It's not going to be a Billy glidden beater.......it's gonna just be something simple/realistic.

I think you'd be better off buying a vehicle at auction like a Stolen / Recovered vehicle that's missing engine / trans..
In order to buy a body in white...(they are very limited) you need to show racing credentials.
"Now, Ford Racing has been able to procure a limited number of these bodies from the production line for off-road use only. Racing credentials and history will be verified prior to sale (non-VIN vehicles are illegal for highway use). MSRP is $3,500."
