In today’s episode, Mike walks us through his experience modifying two of the same car, only 50ish years apart (Old Blue & New Blue) and the trials and successes of each.

The origins of our MOD1 product line start way back in the late 60s with the introduction of not only the Mustang, but two performance books written by early racers of the Boss Mustang. One of them, the “Boss 302 Chassis Modification Manual” laid out a step-by-step guide for a faster car. What followed was 50+ years of adaptation and innovation.

Mike walks us through the origins of the book, what it meant to Mustang racers, and how its chapters are still profoundly relevant today.
