[1] It is mated to a TH700-R4 automatic transmission, controlled by a 1998 Camaro shifter,[1] connected to rear axle (ratio 3.55:1) by an aluminum driveshaft provided by Empire Driveline.
[1] Jim Griffin, who also did Grand Master, Snyper, and the Smoothster, built and upholstered The Stallion; assisted by his son, James,[1] he fabricated seats and covered them in two shades of tan leather, while the headliner is suede.
[1] The dash had an aluminum insert, containing Classic Instruments gauges, while the interior rear view mirror came from Billet Specialties.
[1] It took the better part of two years for Whiteside to get the car road-worthy, before being forced to leave it the hands of his younger brothers, Randy and Steve, when he was drafted.
[1] After that, Whiteside parked the car until 1986, when he began rebuilding it, with the aid of Ken Garman and Don Maki (who later went to work with Foose).
[1] Foose took over the project, working out of his Orange and later Huntington Beach premises, aided by Roy Schmidt, Brian Fuller, Marcel DeLay (and his sons, Marc and Luc), Dennis Graff, Chris Guinn, Don Maki, Paco Castell, Chris Eddie, Tom Marcotte, Lance Nabors, Larry Sergeff, and Steve Greninger (many of them former Coddington employees).
