The Kustom Work, or actual the "Kustom Shop" is where I've been able to restore classics back to their original "state of being" or modify the crap out of something, just cause "cool" was the attempt, or to "go faster" was the need. I've been in the auto work and mod since 1994 by Publishing "Rod n'Racing Magazine" and then up till 09 publishing "the Southwest Motor Enthusiast News". I work now making more efficient use of natural and man made resources and... learning as much as I can!

67 Stang...homeward bound
This was ultimately a fun project. There were lots of things we had to do for this car. The list following is not in any particular order, just as I remember some of the things we worked on with this car. Installed windshield, replaced batter box and shelf, repair rust with new metal in fender wells, fixed broken welds, painted engine bay, Fixing rusted rear fenders, replacing frnt lft fender. Zolitone for the trunk, installed new dash and instrument clusters and trim. The seats were reupholstered from Gotcha Covered in Albuquerque. We installed carpet, repainted inside doors, installed new weather stripping all around and for glass and windows, installed panels, repainted rear speaker shelf, installed new stereo and fixed some rust areas in floor pans. Most parts ordered from Dallas Mustangs and Route 66 Mustang in Albuquerque. We repainted and repaired the front grill, there were some slight mechanical issues with a leaky thermostat housing and having to install new rollers for the driver window and rear windows and made sure they all worked. All paint was Dupont BCC, wet sanded and buffed. Saddle brown for the painted stripes. We hope to see this little classic 67 at some of the summer car shows this year. A LOT of time was put into this car not to mention new parts. The owner was off to put new tires and drive it around awhile. Click on pictures for larger images.
