History of My Mustang

My stang started out as a cheap car for me to use while going to school in 1997.  Of coarse I could not be expected to drive 120miles a day with out tunes, so that is when I got to work on the stereo.  Then I figured why not just give it a cheap paint job.  Of coarse I could not stop there & I began to build it into an IASCA competition vehicle.  Then while working in MI in the winter of 2000 I came across a sweet deal on 2 TC motors (87 & 88) complete with all accessories, a complete 87 wiring harness, & some extras the owner needed to clean out of his garage.  It was meant to be a mild simple change, but once I started doing a little home work I decided I would have the motor completely rebuilt & balanced.  Well as usual, as you start a small car project it will grow into a complete rebuild if you are not carefull.

My Background

My background is primarily in electronics.  I have spent my whole life around some portion of the automotive industry, mainly after market electronics for the past 16 years.  Ranging in everything from commercial & government radio systems to high end after market audio visual systems.  Currently I am trying to focus more on automotive ECU systems. 

I have spent the past 11 years traveling around the world bouncing from job to job to better my career.  I spent 5.5 years in the USAF as a Ground Radio Communications tech.  That training then brought me to Scientific Atlanta where I worked while attending DeVry in Atlanta.  From there I took a position with Motorola in IL.  Of coarse I could not take the cold so I had to try & move & took a transfer to OH.  Well I was still overwhelmed with the cold there.  While there I took a chance on an opportunity to work with Motorola Sports Marketing as the Field Communications Tech/Represetative for Team Green Racing.  So I moved to IN for my new position, still cold but I was not in IN very offten.  After 3 years of working in racing I decided to make a move back out west to complete my schooling & take a break from traveling.  Finally I am out of the cold again now in sunny SOCAL.  I am still not sure if moving out here to work on transit projects was such a great idea.  From race cars to transit busses, what was I thinking?
