I have been a Mustang fanatic since 1979, when my neighbor took me for a ride in his new Indy Pace Car Edition Mustang. At 15, I started a father-son project 1969 Mach 1 that began a lifelong path of engine building and hot-rodding. Over all of these years, I have owned nearly a dozen Mustangs and 21 other Fox T-birds, Lightnings, Mark 8’s, etc. that have all been engine-swapped or modified to my taste. As a high school history teacher, I taught an engine building club, where I taught students hands-on basic engine building skills using Ford 302 engines. I have personally built 42 engines for myself and others, and find engines more interesting than exterior styling. I do all of my own modifications and do not let anyone work on my cars. My dream is to eventually build another 1969 Mach 1 using a Dynacorn body.
