Mickey Thompson ran in 1964 a Ford Thunder Bolt with his own designed and produced set of hemi heads on a Ford 427 Center Oiler block. I modified a set of late funny car Keith Black heads and made the M/T covers for it. Made the M/T body brace and distinct air intakes he ran, screen in hood and headlights.. Close to 3 years work and research on it. Built for S/S but forced into A/FX Paul

I never knew Mickey Thompson had this car. What was it that forced it into the Factory Experimental class, the heads? Super, super detail. Love it!
