Default Local Boy Does Good

Just got back from Fun Ford Weekend in Ennis.

Stangman received a "Best in Class" award on Saturday, which was judged by all car show participants.

Sunday he was awarded the "Best Paint" award for his Prowler Orange Pearl.

And last but not least....

Editor's Choice by Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords

Arron has been working on this car for 7 years, and to take Editors Choice against the trailer queens and other really nice cars was fantastic. All that from a Daily Driver.

Arron - we are proud of what you have accomplished.

Thanks for the compliments guys, definately feels good knowing that people actually notice all the time and effort that goes into these kinds of projects!

A really big thanks goes out to everyone that has helped: My loving parents, Raf, Robert, Reid, Daniel, Hendrik, all you guys. Thanks for putting in all the extra help these past couple of months!

Arron

PS- Dad should have some pictures from this weekend, hopefully he can get them up this evening!

Holler when you do it. I like installing the Magnacharger, and I'd be glad to wrench on another AV. BTW How much land do I get??
