RobotMan 264 Report post Posted April 10, 2016 Well big day today. Alex debuted the car at his high school prom. He was one happy young man!!! Still a few details left but is road worthy. I told him it took a confident man to wear a pink bow tie!!! 5 FINE1969MACH1, SWPruett, Grabber70Mach and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash 145 Report post Posted April 10, 2016 How could he not be confident turning up in that beautiful stang? He could have turned up in his birthday suit and still be confident. I bet he was so proud! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobotMan 264 Report post Posted May 3, 2016 Here's a pic of the car yesterday setting in the local Apple Ford showroom. They had a big remodel of the business and my buddy asked if he could put the car in the showroom for a couple of days for the grand opening. Of course he had to twist my arm!!! It's very exciting to put your hard work on that kind of platform for all to see and hopefully appreciate. 1 Ridge Runner reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
