Introduction / Overview:
This Mustang has been in my family since 1993. My dad bought it from the original owner. I bought it from my dad in 1998 and started restoration on it in 2002 shortly after my wife Kerri and I married (she loved it, even in it's pre-restored condition).
The motor and transmission is currently out while I build up a 331 SEFI (Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection) stroker and T-5.
