LeJo's Mustang


This '66 Mustang has a 289 cid motor with a 4 bbl carb. It also has a factory bench seat up front. I made pods for the floor and relocated the dimmer switch to keep the factory look. That was one of the goals of this job, no cutting and make it blend in. LeJo bought this car for herself 2 years ago because she always wanted one. The install was a Mother's Day gift from her husband and her kids. All of the speakers are Concept 6 1/2s.


The Alpine 9847 hangs from the dash in a metal box painted black. The remote sits on the floor next to the shifter and with your hand on the arm rest is in perfect placement to control the head. Paul (her husband) installed the battery and I rewired all the major wiring. Updating grounds and starter cables. I put the plexiglass cover over to protect the terminals. It is removed without any tools.


Storage is a problem because of space limitations. I tried to give her a few hide away areas in the trunk. The rear deck was recovered and perforated to help get the bass into the passenger area.


There is another set of Concepts in the rear deck. The suprise of this install was the sculpted Mustang on the under side of the trunk lid. It is done in black leather with two strips of the leather on the outside edges. This was something that was not part of the original idea but when I thought of it I knew I had to do it. I think LeJo likes this addition very much. It is taken from the emblem in the grill on the front of the car.


Last but not least is the trunk. We are running a Rockford 4ch and a DI mono 250. We have 2 Kicker comp 10's in a sealed box and another hide away area for her to stash stuff. I also made a floor mat with the matching carpet so they can pull it out and shake it or vacuum it without any risk to the bottom panels. They must be happy with my work because 3 weeks later they brought their daughter's Grand Am GT to be done. This is what I rely on. Word of mouth and repeat happy customers. I can't make everybody happy all the time but I try.
