Hey, welcome to my blog. This blog is about a project, a journey, … to get something I really want in my life someday and that is (you could have guessed) a 1965 Ford Mustang. How will I try to get one? Well as you can read in #1 and #2 of the posts on this blog, the 2 obvious ways to get one are not working for me: can’t buy one, can’t renovate one. So I’ll be looking at other ways & opportunities that will let me drive this car one day. Certainly with the internet, social media, blogs, … these days I’ve noticed the funniest ways how people were able to get what they wanted, whether that was 1 million dollars or an Aston Martin. So I’ll be looking into these ideas, and see if they would work on my journey as well.
Happy reading, and if you consider giving me a free Mustang, don’t hesitate… send me an email at mustangblog at hotmail dot com and I’m sure we’ll make it happen :-) Tips for my journey are always welcome as well on that email, or just send them to this delicious account: http://del.icio.us/65mustangA liitle bit about myself maybe? During my daytime I work for Microsoft as a marketer on the EMEA marketing team for MSN and Windows Live for which I travel a lot (not with a mustang though) And when I’m free I spend most of my time with my wife, 2 kids and friends. This blog is actually not my first one, I do have a Windows Live Space on which I share stuff with my friends and family, and you can also find me at http://crossthebreeze.com (another WordPress blog) with my take on new media, internet marketing, advertising, … and so on.

Hi, Kris.
I wouldn’t normally pass along something like this on a blog, but I thought it might be of interest. RIDEMAKERZ™ along with legendary car designer Chip Foose, are auctioning off five MAKERZ Edition Ford Mustangs on Ebay to benefit the Progeria Research Foundation. The Progeria Research Foundation is close to Chip’s heart because his sister passed away from Progeria.
Each RIDE was personally designed, signed and individually numbered by Foose. The auction begins today (starting bid $0.01 and no reserve) and ends on September 19.
Click the following link to go directly to the Ebay auction:

Have a great day!

[...] 2007 in 1968, mustang, 1967, muscle cars, charity, toys, 2006, 2007, 2005 Yesterday I received a comment from Suzanne Vanderhoef about a project that definitely deserves some extra [...]
Hi Kris!
I found your blog because I’m compiling how-to sites and blog links relating to Mustang projects and news to help out my own site visitors.
I heavily modified and drove a 1969 Mustang around 30 years ago, and decided to begin documenting it only around 2004, as I noticed such projects enjoying a revival of interest on TV and the net.
My efforts back then were admittedly extreme– but I also lived in a somewhat wild place at the time (and I was a teenage boy, after all).
I’ve posted as much technical detail on the original project as I can recall and locate in surviving old paperwork (30 years ago I didn’t realize how neat it’d be to have such stuff available for a future web site).
I’ve also written up stories inspired by many of my real-life experiences with the car.
All that’s led to some modern-day father-son teams seeking to build clones of my car (according to my email)– much like me and my dad did the first.
Ergo, the reason I’m compiling whatever helpful reference links I can for such projects.
My site’s already fairly large, but the pages below offer some pretty good places by which to sample it (certain pages among the 100 or so are relatively well illustrated):
Me and my Shadow supercar

I hope you enjoy my site! And maybe whatever project reference links page I end up creating will be useful for your own Mustang efforts!

I added my pictures of my car on flicker. I am not sure what that means, but they are there. I now have to find more on my old computer, put them on a memory stick and bring them over to my new laptop. Ohhh. I am learning so much about computers that I never wanted to learn.
Love your site.

Kris,
I’d love to send you a sample of the new Mustang Blue for you to try. Please send me your address and I’ll get it right out to you.
