Father Son Restomod Story, Niko Tatti Interview

<p>Today is a great father son project story and it started here as a message from today’s guest: “I bought the car when it was a rolling painted body. It didn't have its engine in it, the trans, nor the driveshaft. The seats had been redone, but everything else in the interior still needed to be finished. For us, the car was a father/son restoration project in high school, and she's still my daily 5 years later. With the help of my dad, almost everything on the car has been redone” ~Niko Tatti.</p><p> </p><p>Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast -- Guest Interview Application</p><p>============</p><p><strong>Do you own a early year Mustang?: </strong></p><p>yes</p><p><strong>If you own a Mustang, how long have you owned your ride?: </strong></p><p>Almost 6 years now. </p><p><strong>What do you do for a living?:</strong></p><p>I work in the Agriculture industry in California's Central Valley.

Recently, we dropped the rear of the car 1.5" with new leaf springs, and hopefully soon, we're gonna perform a Shelby style drop in the front with coilovers. </p><p><strong>What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?:</strong></p><p>I don't see it happening within the next 5 years, but eventually I
