Ozbilt's last build for a client

Post by ozbilt »

Once I get permission of the customer, I will do the write up here on my last Mustang build for a customer.

Let's just say it is not my favorite car, but am happy with the way it has come up.

I will continue to do small stuff, mainly hand forming jobs, but concentrating on vintage motorcycles. I am getting too old to be spending years building cars and feel time is running out. At 68 years and over 50 in the trade, I guess that feeling is valid.

Lots to do around the property to set it up for the years to come and I am getting pressure to freshen up Mrsozbilt's Mach. Reality, that car is not a priority, rather it is something that will be nice if it happened.

Anyway, that is enough of the teaser, once I get permission, I will start to write.

It's an E car, but a faithful clone of the best one from the movie (the car covered in dust at the end), it became the car for the director and lives on now.

Warm 302 5 speed.
