Obsidian Phoenix

When this 1965 Ford Mustang arrived, it was little more than a hollow frame on wheels. Only the quarter panels, door panels, roof and frame remained intact. No engine, no grille, no internals were present, leaving the car open to view from front to back. Despite its skeletal state, the Mustang's classic lines and proportions suggested the possibility of a complete restoration, a transformation that breathed new life into the original form.

The owner's vision was precise: a fully restored Mustang that preserved the car's heritage while integrating modern comforts and conveniences. They sought a car that could be driven reliably while staying authentic to its era. Key features included a push-button starter, power windows, stereo system, custom interior, fully customized engine and drivetrain, and a fresh coat of paint. Every choice centered on enhancing the Mustang itself, maintaining its essence while expanding its functionality.

Through a complete frame-up restoration, the Mustang was transformed from a bare shell into a fully realized classic. The body panels were aligned and painted to accentuate its lines, the engine bay was rebuilt, and the electrical system completely rewired. Inside, the custom interior and modern convenience features were installed seamlessly. Every surface and every fit was approached with precision, resulting in a Mustang that is timeless in appearance and modern function, a true realization of the owner's vision.
