2014 Ford Racing BOSS 302S Build Is Underway At Watson Racing
Currently Watson Racing is in the middle of the 50-unit 2014 BOSS 302S Build – and Ford Racing was kind enough to show us a couple of photos of the process. Enjoy!
Watson Racing was already responsible for roll-cage installation, receiving the body-in-white cars from the plant, installing the cages, then trucking them back to Flat Rock for the final touches of powertrain installation and modification before they received their sticker package and were readied for delivery.
But as Watson Racing was already handling the Ford Racing Boss 302S builds for road racing, it made sense to shift the Cobra Jet production to their immense facility in Brownstown, Michigan, just a stone’s throw from the Auto Alliance plant, and they’ve begun the build process on the brand-new 2014 Cobra Jet – of which 50 cars will be produced.
