Thats one of my best friends..his name is Justin. He's the production welder over at Maier Racing. He is doing some custom fab work, T5 swap, ford 9", custom suspension work and some other goodies here and there. He is extremely young for his skill level and he will only be getting better. From watching him wrench on his car when he was 16 up until now, it's simply been amazing seeing what he can do.

I'm going to be building his motor for the Mav really soon.. Motors probably going in my garage this week for tear down. Stay tuned for some more badass work in the future [patriot]

^ Well your friend has a nice project. It's great to see other guys who have kept their cars from high school and didn't sell them. [patriot]

I've been procrastinating/working on my car for years (2000) but I'll never sell it. The OP might own it someday. I always call and leave him a message before I fly saying, " Hello, this is Dan L.... If I should go down in a fiery death, I will my Mustang to my best friend Jeff. " [dance]

Yea I'm curious as to how far he's going to go with wht project. He's been procrastinating, but only because he has an old 20s ford he's restoring as well as his 59' ford pickup. He's now owned the car for about 6 years now.. he's only 21 years old at the moment so for the amount of time he's had.. he's done a lot

I suggested a 331, but he wants to be on a budget. So I said that we should do a higher compression 306.. nothing special, but should move really well considering that the car will be under 3000lbs

I noticed he is changing all the suspension, do u know what he originally used to lower the car front and back though?
