About Me

Rick
This is a site dedicated to the restoration of a 1965 Mustang Fastback that I bought in November of 2005. The restoration has been delayed by my free time (or lack of) and the advanced state of decay the car was in - which I wish I had realized before I bought it. Comments are always welcome!
