Meet car owner Chris Call. A maintenance supervisor at a power plant, he fabricates for a living, and isn't afraid to try different things. Besides building his 408-ci small-block Ford, Chris also has a completely home-built rock crawler, and has designed his own website, Trailhed.com, using Microsoft FrontPage software. For a DIY site, we think it's pretty sweet. You can check out videos of Chris' Falcon, including our photo shoot on www.trailhed.com.
