Follow the Builds

Classic Mustang restomods, how-tos and fabrication from a Fort Worth garage.

This is where the build lives: on a rotisserie, under the lights, one session at a time.

What stalls a build

Vision overwhelm
“I can see the whole build but don’t know where to start.”
Scope creep
“While I’m at it, I might as well…”
Inconsistent sessions
“I’ll work on it when I have a full weekend.”
Progress invisibility
“I’ve been working for months and have nothing to show for it.”

None of that is a you problem. It’s a system problem.

Our story

“If you want to drive this, then fix it.”

That was my dad, the year I turned sixteen and got my first Mustang: a ’67, quadruple-tone paint, barely running.

I took that as a challenge. I picked up parts magazines, swept floors at a local shop and asked the mechanics what they’d do with my car. Then I went looking for more experts.

After twenty builds, my passion for building restomods has only grown. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the generosity of the build community and the advice they shared with me over the years. My drive is to share what I’ve learned with you, so we can build some amazing rides together.

These days that means a grinder in one hand and a laser cutter in the other. My first digitally fabricated part was a shifter adapter bracket, and it changed my game for good.

If you want to build it, you can.

Your Restomod Hour

You don’t need a free weekend, a fortune or an engineering degree. You need an hour.

180 hours

One focused hour a day is 180 hours in six months.

Build to drive.

The 90% rule: build it for how you’ll use it 90% of the time. Around here, that means on the road.
