BOSS TRIBUTE–1969 BOSS 5.0 TRIBUTE

AFTER ABOUT SIX MONTHS OF NOT HAVING A MUSTANG I PURCHASED THIS CAR. IT WAS IN 2001 AND MY PLAN WAS TO GIVE THE CAR A QUICK PAINT JOB AND ENJOY DRIVING IT.

I have always been a Mustang fan. My grandfather drove Mustangs when I would be with him and I believe that is what got me into them. My first driver was an 84 Mustang 4 cylinder. After heavy abuse from a young drivee the car had to go. My first project car was a 68 Mustang that my uncle gave to me. After years of working on it I unfortunately never got to complete it. After about six months of not having a Mustang I purchased this car. It was in 2001 and my plan was to give the car a quick paint job and enjoy driving it. A friend at a local restoration shop suggested that I strip the existing paint to bare metal in order to get a good quality job. That is where everything took off. While stripping the paint I didn’t find much metal. I did find a lot of body putty, rust, patches, and even a T shirt stuffed in the quarter panel to hold the body putty in place. Every time I did something to the car I would look at it and say well I did that so maybe I should make the next part better also. After 12 years of having time or money, but not enough of both at the same time, I was able to get the car completed with a lot of help from family and friends.

Currently I still keep adding small upgrades and custom touches to the car and driving it whenever I can. Living in
