Here is one website http://51-factory.com/index.html and I think HJGB is the airframe that was slated to be reverse engineered by a different company with the same intentions.

There was Gerry Beck's project in North Dakota as well, no? I thought his plan was to build 10 Allison powered Mustangs.

Not sure where that stands now after his loss. :?
