1965 Falcon Futura Hardtop Resto-Mod Beast

Project Bleu Cheese is a team of combat veterans building a rest-mod to use to race and visit various veterans' organization such as VA Hospitals. So many of our returning veterans find it difficult to reintegrate themselves into society on both personal and social circumstances. HotRods 4 Combat Vets is an organization to alleviate some of the stress experience by returning vets.
Right now, we are currently in the planning stage. " A vision without a plan is just a dream. A plan without vision is just drudgery. But a vision with a plan can change the world." -Old Proverbs-

Our goal for "Project Bleu Cheese is to build a fun daily driver with lots of power, updated handling and technology. This car will be used to travel in and out of states to visit wounded warriors, Combat Veterans, and soldiers getting ready to go on a combat tour. This vehicle is being built to raise awareness for our troops coming home, wounded warriors, and most important those that weren't able to make it home.
