Sweet truck. I've seen a few other articles on the truck in a few magazines.

Take a look in my gallery under flatmotor stuff. There is a picture of my niece with the FR-100 at Last Years Woodward cruise. She is not just getting her picture taken with it like you or I would, She than drove it down Woodward for the Cruise. Her Husband works for Ford SVT. They get to play with all the cool stuff, I get the T-Shirt.

Don't know if it is still up but there was a video on Nascar.com that showed Kurt Busch wringing this thing out, it was pretty awesome

fordmuscle.com has it in their featured rides, along with the ups panel truck of the same ilk. Which is the big brown truck Jarrett should be driving.

Apparently there were a lot of parts used from Dennis Carpenter that were modified to build this truck; there are two of them which are featured on the cover of Carpenter's F-100 parts catalog.
