There is a lot of history to this car in this area. First ones rolled off of the
St. Thomas line. The vehicle is the same age as the college, it is the mascot of the
college. It was built locally .We picked this car up, we got an Arizona car which
was the body was just beautiful,flawless. It's a good foundation, the car was solid,
this will be a great build. We had done a bunch of metalwork and fabrication work
to restore any holes or any of the structure of the body that needed to be
remade. We went ahead and bought a crate engine, a three zero two boss engine. All new fuel
injection components, computerized controlled, Mustang two front suspension, four
link suspension in the rear. The transmission was rebuilt here in-house.
It's not just nuts and bolts, it's thinking, it's basically engineering. It's
a high level skill set and it takes a ton of dedication and a ton of time.
It was hours and hours and hours of sanding. There is sanding the epoxy primer,
there's sanding bondo, grinding metal, sanding primer, sanding it for prep.
Priming it again, sanding it again, dust everywhere. And you got to get it ready
and you got to get it right. I work at a Honda dealership so working on something
like, a, you know, an old muscle car like the Falcon was a unique opportunity for
me. I don't get to do that very much at work, and I don't really have the
finances to do it on my own, so this is a really fun project to do. But it is the
one reason why I joined this trade right, is to work on you know making modifying
vehicles and all that stuff so it's something I really enjoy doing. We've
got lots of challenges. At the end of the day everyone kind of has to come down and do
just one procedure. We're under the wire, we are on a deadline,
we need to get it done. We were here until five in the morning one night. I think
the paint probably is the most sensitive portion of it. A thousand things can go
wrong in the paint booth. It's not my first time painting something. Close to
the panel, move as fast as you can. It was shiny, it looked good, no runs.
A little one but let's not talk about that. It was a ton of work. {Yawning} They did a
phenomenal job. It is going to show what we can do. Let's get er fired up and
ready to rock.
