My first car returns home after being sold 33 yrs ago & needs some professional Preservation TLC. It’s been a long winter 🤞

Not a good place for a electric fuel pump install. Especially on a classic car.

Careful where you get your car repaired.
This was a home made bracket for the throttle return spring to mount to. Imagine driving your car & this comes apart. Cheap repairs are never cheap in the long run !

30 yrs ago I restored this 1965 Mustang convertible. A Ground up rotisserie job.
Valentine’s Day it was in storage at there home when the house burned collapsing the roof & upstairs floor on top of the car. 2 month waiting for the ok to retrieve it, It took a 50 ton mobile crane & crew, most of the day last Thursday to recover it, now it’s back to get repaired by the same hands that built it.
On a good note, it was happy to see me again, we pulled it out & i put the battery in it, she started right up & I drove it back to the shop !
Quality workmanship is a standard I live by, & she past the test with tons of weight collapsed on her & still drove away.
Ya can’t keep a good horse down !

The Fisherman's Tale - Documentary Film

This is the Movie the our Mustang will be in.
I was contacted a week ago from a Production Co. Looking for a classic car from the 60s for a Beach scene & some in car scene,
Sent them pictures & it was a go from there.
Spent most of the day & till around 9:00pm doing different shoots, these are a few pics I took, hoping the camera guys send me some of there shots, got to see some of the drone & ground camera stuff which was incredibly cool, the guys know there stuff, there is one scene driving along the dunes ( drone shot ) that I was driving the car ( Drone operator riding shot gun in car while flying camera & the Director in back seat ). They used a vintage Michigan map for some scenes & gave me the map & I had the Cast & Crew sign it for me ( yep on the hood of the car, it was a special moment so we all lived through it 😂🎥⭐️)
They were super respectful of the car & ask me about stuff they could do.
I would do this again in a hoofbeat !
Did try to get them to use the Shelby for camera car but didn’t work out 😂
Special thanks to my Brother Greg Vancura for hanging out in the hot sun all day, we had fun
