Man, I must agree, that yellow is a standout! In the sun, with John right there, looks like it for sure is a scene right from a newer version of the movie! That engine is so clean, the interior is so cool, the overspray on the sides in the undies pic, perfect!
But man, that paint is flawless, totally digging this Mustang, and that is rare for me to say - LOVE IT MAN - AWESOME WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks JB and Stitch!
It seems I never posted Johns back story so here it is...
John Milner lost his father in Iraq when he was 7. His mother did the best she could to raise him, but the loss was devastating to them both. John started falling behind a little in school, doing just enough to get by. The only thing John really liked was cars, and the faster they were the better! John started hanging around a local garage where he loved to listen to one of the mechanics talk about his grory days drag racing. The owner let John sweep up and empty trash for a few dollars cash each week. Johns first real job was at an auto parts store. John really knew a lot about cars and he excelled in helping the customers get just the right parts they needed and giving advise. He also started fixing cars in his spare time at home. This is where his Mustang came into his life. She was in sad shape whSheJohn first laid eyes on her. Obviously the owner hadn't taken care of her. Body had small dents and scratches all over, interior was shot and the engine was smoking real bad and didn't have any power. When John told him what it would take to repair the engine, the owner decide to just buy another used car. After the Mustang sat in Johns way a few weeks John told the guy he needed to come get his car. He asked John if he could haul it to the junkyard for him and told John to keep whatever he got for it for his trouble. John told him he would take care of it for the title, which the owner gladly signed over. Over the next few years John devoted a lot of late nights and weekends on the Mustang to bring it to what you see here...

That story isn't believable at all, no auto part store ever hires someone that actually knows about vehicles lol.
