Well, my first job was as a bagboy at a grocery store and I got fired for working on a car during my break, so I figured I better go with what I know. Started working at a boat factory. The owner asked me if I wanted to move to his custom car end, then working at a Mustang restoration shop, to running the shop to getting a master ASE certification and working at a Ford dealer, then opening a body shop all the while working on mustang projects and eventually that became my business and now we are at a 2 yr wait for full builds. But pretty soon I’ll be getting back into old hot rods as well, cause we have a full build on a 56 coming soon.So... How does one get into building badass Mustangs for a living? You literally have the job that I have dreamed of since I was old enough to bang two Hot Wheels together.

I did it a year or so ago and may have posted it in this thread but the owner doesn’t post so probably here.Hmm, I recognize that trunk paint. Cant remember whose car that is, but know Ive seen it on a forum.
I think I have multiples stored up if you ever decide to replaceI could use a Cobra rear bumper to replace my "MUSTANG" piece. My original bumper has a big tear in it from a random piece of copper that was laying on the road last spring. I think it may be beyond repair.
WOW. Just discovered this and read through most of the 68 pages. I was so excited when I got to the end and seen the project was still ongoing and that all of you guys are still active in the thread!
I've recently become the owner of a 1995 Mustang GTS with a stroker package after my dad handed it down to me. I do not have a lot of experience working on cars but it is something that I am passionate about. The stang is in decent shape, just needs a good clean inside and out to get the basics done. After seeing everything that you've put into your 94 cobra, I am inspired!
First thing I want to tackle is restore and lightly smoke the headlights and tail lights. You listed some information on which grit sand paper to use so I think I know how to get started there.
Also, someone mentioned you were on Facebook. How can I find you on there?

One of the better intros I've seen in a while. Welcome aboard. Looking forward to your car intro thread and images.
Is that a new question or just standard?I have a question. When is the Sapphire paint being sprayed??????
Hard to remember 7 years back... But you owe it to the poor girl! How would you feel stripped naked and thrown in the corner for years, watching a bunch of other variations of you come through and get born again?!
remembering seven years back or naked girl tied up in the corner?You just described my idea of a perfect life...
