My Story:

           I fell in love with classic cars when I was just a kid.  I loved the sleek lines, lustrous shine, and raw power under the hood.  Every time I saw one, I knew that I had to own a classic car.  My first car of choice was a 1963 Corvette with the split tail window and a 427 under the hood.  Upon further investigation, $20,000 for a non-running Corvette that still needed to be restored was not quite in my budget.  I turned my focus to a car with similar lines, just as much class, and one tenth of the price, the Ford Mustang.  I bought my first Mustang, a 1964-1/2, in April of 2000, spent the next 8 months restoring it (kind of) and it has been my daily driver ever since.   I acquired my second Mustang, a 1966, when I married my wife in June of 2001.  She came with the car; I mean the car came with her.   Just after we got married, my wife and I decided to start a family.  In August of 2001, I bought a 1962 Galaxie 500 to provide us with a much needed family car.  I have gone from having little-to-no experience in car restoration, to having quite a bit, but still have lots to learn.  I cannot take credit for most of my car restoration knowledge because it has come from books, websites, and forums.  I love cars and I love learning.  Yes, I am still quite fond of the 63 Corvette, but I love the cars I have and the cars I don’t have (yet).
