We tear into the Mini Stock to show you what to look for when building your first race car. Demolition is so much fun!
Imagine my delight when we finally got the City Boy, our new Mini Stock Mustang, back to the shop and up on the lift. Here I was, thinking in a couple of days we would be down to the bare metal, welding in a cage, and heading out to the track. I mean, how hard can prepping a Mini Stock Mustang be? Unfortunately, my reckless optimism got the best of me once again and, as it turns out, putting a quality race car together is neither easy nor fast. Since the real brains behind this operation, Pete Epple and Editor Rob Fisher, like to cover every base before moving forward, we had two days' worth of inspection prior to making any real moves. In this particular build, that meant tearing our stock Mustang down to the core and really figuring out what could stay, what had to go, and what was ruined beyond repair. Luckily, we had a lot of the former and none of the latter, which meant luck was on our side during the pickup and purchase of our Mini Stock-to-be.
