Jeff concentrated his efforts on bodywork, paint, and graphics once the critical engine and driveline swap was handled. He credits Brian Schoenrock for laying down the busy King Cobra graphics, which took an extraordinary amount of patience.
Jeff saw potential in the Mustang II back when not many people were snapping them up for special car projects. He put his imagination to work, building what has become his own specialized Saturday night ride.
