1968 Mustang
Combine the vision of this Mustang’s owner, Clyde, with the know-how of some of the best automotive shops in KZN and they may have just produced one of the finest GT’s we’ve ever laid our eyes upon. But don’t be mistaken in thinking that Clyde simply sat back and only supervised the coming together of his ’68 Ford Mustang, quite the contrary in fact. He’s never been shy to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty, which is why he assembled most of the car himself at home and farmed only farmed out the paintwork and engineering aspects of the build to people that he knew would get the job done to his standards.
When Clyde started this build he knew exactly what he wanted to achieve with the end result and he was fully prepared to get to that point, no matter the time spent or the cost. So instead of sourcing stuff locally from suppliers, he took it upon himself to search and acquire everything he needed (including the car itself) from eBay, so that he had more control over what was being bought and also because the hunt is more exciting than the kill.
