Could you imagine building a Cobra in High School? If my HS had this project I don't think I would have skipped as much as I did.
I don't mean to push FFR's, but when I know there are great stories about builds I like to share. This school is up in Childress and building an FFR with a 302 and have plans to raffle the car off once complete.
