OK, let me start by saying that this is in the early stages of brainstorming... and give you a little bit of background. I have a very very close friend. One who has been there for me through all of my recent trials and tribulations (divorce, custody battle, etc). She is an absolutely amazing person. I firmly believe that the letters she wrote on my behalf helped me to keep custody of my kids and that is the kind of debt that one can never repay. It sounds cliche, but literally the nicest person that I have ever met who would do anything for a friend or a stranger in need.
Her son and her husband had recently began work on restoring an old ‘67-‘69? Mustang as the kind of father and son project we all love to see. Unfortunately, while working on the car, it caught fire in their garage and exploded. Her son suffered third degree burns to his face and arm, and they lost their house and virtually all of its contents in the fire.
They are all relatively OK at this point and dealing with the immediate after effects of such an event... securing housing, clothing, etc to continue life. The rest of their family and community is rallying around them and taking care of those things.
I’d like to think that when they are ready, the final piece of moving forward might be another Mustang for them.
I am looking for any leads you might have on a project Mustang of this era. Beyond that, anything leads in related parts would also be great. Engines, wheels, interior, trim, hoods, trunks, whatever. I’m sure that at some point, getting her husband and son back to working on a car would be an amazing end to what will certainly be a great comeback story.
Thanks MM.
