ceswert Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I will be there. These guys at Mustang Ranch do a super job. They have a great shop. They have restored my 69 Mach 1 and replaced my SS clutch with the finest clutch I have ever used. More projects for them are coming. Peter Brock would be a very cool person to meet.
