Episode Summary

The Survivor Series Part 1
Today we start a 2 part series, telling the stories of 4 survivors. These stories are shared by the Mustang Survivors most recent caretakers. For the sake of these interviews and so you know the criteria used, as you know there are differences between survivors and original Mustangs. When most people think "survivor" they confuse it with "original" but for the sake of this series, here are the survivor guidelines: Mustangs that are Over 50 years old. They Can pass a road test and drive. A survivor   Remains over 50% unrestored, un-refinished, or unaltered and without major modifications and the finish is good enough to use as a color guide for restoration of a car just like it.

Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast -- Guest Interview Application

Do you own an early year Mustang?: 
yes

If you own a Mustang, how long have you owned your ride?: 
24 years

What do you do for a living?: 
Own Alf's Mustang Garage. We specialize in repairs and restoration of classic Mustangs. We started in 2018 in a small 2 bay shop in Willard Utah. We have now since grown to a larger shop in Ogden Utah where we employ 3 people. We also do a variety of YouTube videos for the growing demand of DIY Mustang enthusiasts. The YouTube channel has grown steadily since starting it late 2019 but is still relatively small. Our main focus is working on client's cars to help keep them on the road and out of the garage. 

If you've made improvements to your classic car or restored it, what work have you done?: 
I have a 67 S code Fastback that we drag raced back when I was younger. Has a 460 big block with a built C6 trans 9" rear end with 4.11 gears.  I have plans to convert it back to a daily driver/cruiser but lately I've been focusing on the shop and working on everyone else's Mustangs. 

What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?: 
I would like to convert my car back to a cruiser now that I am older and our local racetrack has closed.

============

If you own a Mustang, how long have you owned your ride?: 
Current Mustang for about 18 months (this is my third 1966 Mustang)..

Are you a supplier of products to Mustang and Classic Car enthusiasts?:

The list is rather long, I have a whole YouTube channel that covers all the work I've done to this Mustang and the others before it.

What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?: 
I'd like to eventually put in a 9" rear, and maybe upgrade the T5 to something stronger.  With the recent addition of the 347, I have a feeling I'll find the next weak link real soon.  :)

Info on your Mustang:
I've owned this 1966 GT350H since 1973, and it still has only 49,000+ actual miles. It's also one of a handful of Colorado GT350H cars that received a special National Ski Patrol badge (on the rear panel) as part of a Hertz promotion for the NSP's national convention in Denver, 1966. This may be the only one of those cars still remaining.
