This is my first blog and I wanted to show how the car will progress from start to finish.
The car: 1968 Fastback Mustang. My aunt and parents discovered this old Mustang in Lake Arrowhead, CA. The owner wanted to get rid of this car since it was taking up space and my family jumped on the deal. When they first discovered the car it was an absolute mess! The pine needles were everywhere! Inside, outside, and even today I'm still finding pine needles. After negotiating with the owner the car was turned over to us. This car was not operational and they had to have it towed down to Newport Beach.
The kid: While my family was securing this car, I was still in school and had no idea that any of this was happening. When I came home for Easter, the car was revealed to me and it was a huge surprise! I have always wanted a car like this: a car that I can work on and build to make it my own and it was not a total rust bucket. Sadly, I had to go back to school for finals and it was quite difficult to concentrate during those tests.
Now that I'm back in California, I'm going to do everything I can to make this car into a real muscle car.
