Although I work on them just about every week, I have never owned a Mustang myself. Quite honestly, I don't know that I ever will. I've always been more into the unusual, or sleeper vehicles. Mustangs seem to get broken into alot around here, too. I've had 10 or 11 project vehicles over the years, including 3 Pinto's, a nitrous injected Buick, a 63 Rambler, a 64 Ranchero and a Harley. Right now I have a '66 Olds 400 out of a 4-4-2 in my garage, and I'll be looking for a vehicle to drop it in by this summer. I would like to build another Ford project, though. The only thing I don't like about Fords (and Mopars too) is the fenderwells and the front suspension. I guess I like more elbow room.
My F-150 was purchased to be my work truck, but it cleans up so nicely, and is really a nice vehicle, so it's become my everyday ride. Being the person I am, I have of course altered just about every aspect of it so that it fits my tastes, but that's just my nature.
Working on a Sprint car team has put a crimp in my desire to have a project vehicle too. For 8 months out of the year, I wrench all day, and then again on the weekends. Kinda shoots down the desire to come home and wrench further. But, the 4 months between seasons, like right now, get's me itching again. Hanging out here doesn't help that much either. You guys give me ideas sometimes, but it's difficult not having a vehicle to test them on.
I'll have another one soon enough. My garage misses having oil on the floor.
Take care,
