I had a neighbor stop by last week. He has a gorgeous 65 Mustang. Set up for auto x. He was checking out the Duster saying it was a cool project and when he got to the engine compartment he was taken back a bit. He wasn’t expecting that. Then came what I kinda saw as sideways complements. He said he wished he had the skills to do this type of work ie. floor pans, suspension, engine etc. that he has to pay someone to do everything. Then proceeds to talk about his 408 stroker built by one of the premier race engine builders in the area. And his custom suspension that some Mustang guru from down south put in and set up for him and all the time shipping it here and there, and cash he’s put into this car. Now please don’t get me wrong it is a work of art. Certainly a car to be proud of and enjoy! He seems to be a decent enough guy. It just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Would love to have someone like your neighbor around to bounce ideas off of or get advice or even just shoot the crap with. Makes me very greatfull I found this forum and the Coffee Shop. Rant over! :lol:
