Acknowledgements
I would like to personally thank Kirt Mueller of Mueller's Automotive & Performance, since basically he and I are the only ones who have touched this car since it was new. I would also like to thank my wife for being there and helping clean the car. She is super! Thanks to the MCA for getting me excited about showing the car. Also, as a member of South Side Mustangs of Indy, I would like to thank them. About four years ago, I had a stroke right before the local ISCA Show and the whole club came over to detail and get the car ready to show, while I was recovering. What a super bunch of guys!
