I teach Auto Tech in a school for "Drop out Prevention".
While most School Districts and Industry don't want this class to be a Hobby Shop for kids to build the Teachers Hotrod, my purpose is to raise money via auction sale of car for the benefit of our class.
Budgets are being decimated everywhere especially from Career Tech Education classes for Academic classes. (reading, math & science) to raise schools grade.
I also figure here they get their experience with brakes, steering, suspension and electrical and maybe a little engine performance. All the things require of a NATEF accredited program.
We have a '90 Mustang for: 302 EFI V8. We are going to retain the EFI. I also figure we can use the rear end which is a LSD with new drum brakes.
Front suspension is undecided - but would like to do round tube axle with coil overs or Corvette '90 is upper and lower control arms with coil overs. (Dad said if your going to dream dream big!)
We also have a Miller MIG welder and many of our students parent are professional fabricators.
If we get this far... I would like to do something of a "Indy Roadster" theme paint with a old USAC and Red flying horse (Mobil) on each side.
The Kids are excited (High School Level).
Oh, hello too..Alfwulf
