454bug I saw your bug in under construction in Hot Rod :)

Probell, There is picture in the the same Hot Rod on the Motorstate event and you can briefly see your car following bowtie 67's (69 Camaro) and the ART chevelle.

Love that mustang. Congrats on the coverage

[My427stang]

Got my issue yesterday, sitting in its place of importance in my "office"

Great car and nicely built

[Finch]

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

I had a great time building that car and love driving it as much as I can. The power of the Cobra motors is truly impressive for 281ci.

For those who may not have heard I used the car to move a concrete barrier over about 3 feet at the Nashville GG auto-x 2 weeks after the photo shoot was done. I was able to find some extra time during my Camaro build and I did get it all back together and had it at RTTH this past weekend with the Camaro. Just more proof we drive and push these cars to the limit.......

Congrats on making the cover, that is huge!
Drive 'em often, drive 'em hard, cars need to be driven. :cheers:

Man, I had NO idea that happened to you at Nashville...

These things tend to happen sometimes when boys are out playin'... :drive2:

Glad to hear everything went back together alright... :)

Congrats Brian !!!
I love that mustang.
We sure had a good time traveling up to Michigan together .
You did an awesome job of getting it back together for Pigeon Forge..
You are so motivated .
Where do you find the time ???

And the Camaro will be in HotRod soon !!

[ProdigyCustoms]

Congratulations Brian. That is huge. I told you to your face, I will tell the world. I am very impressed with what you have acchomplished in a short period of time. Keep it up man.

[dropit69]

congrats Brian..car is aweosme along with the badass camaro you just built..i think your dream of building them for others will go over huge..!!

[Finch]

Thanks Frank, It means alot coming from you as well as everyone else.

I have been putting alot of thought into your advice this past weekend and will try to keep if fun and on the side as much as possible. Also your suggestions on having my angle be that "I build cars that work" is perfect as it sums up my goals with each build. Also fits into my motto of "The proof is on the pavement".

Running at these events and spending time with all the great folks out there is the biggest draw for me so need to keep that in perspective and not let this become just another job.

If I could find 1-2 builds a year to keep me busy building some killer rides I would be fine with the current situation. Otherwise I will have to keep building cars for myself and will soon run out of room.


Thanks again everyone,

Well the proof was definately on the pavement. Brian beat the s%^t out of this car at the Motorstate Challenge. It was fun to shoot and great example of show quality cars, working and running hard. Good Job Brian, keep it up.

[YancyJohns]

Congrats on the PHR cover Brian!! :twothumbs Soon as I saw the Mustang in Michigan, I new it would make a great cover. I still don't know how you got the Camaro done, your very talented. :hail: I just wish you would let me drive one of those beasts. I hope I'm still in line after all this popularity.

[Steve1968LS2]

Love the Mustang.. it has just enough done to it to be cool without being "overdone" like some builds.

And PHR certainly hooked you up with the coverage.. again, congrats! :)

Thanks again everyone,

Hey Finch, was digging around and came across this.

Glad to see your success with these getting you some recognition!

Now come on back to Texas and let's get my Hemi Duster on the road. I just about have all the parts, but have no time~

Take care,
Les K

Hey Les, good to hear from you again and welcome to the forum....shoot me some pics or start a build thread and share what you are working on.

[wblanton]

Definitely one of my favorite stangs...

[Ron S]

Love the car,really tastefully done. Love when the cover goes to someone who beats on his cars, as hard, if not harder, then most people would even think of. One of my favorite Mustangs ever. Congrats, Ron

[MarkM66]

Damn, I never did get this issue.
