MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS A COMBINATION OF MY DREAM AND MY COUSIN’S VISION.
To say I’ve got “Ford blue” in my blood really isn’t stretching the truth. My Dad and my uncles owned a small-town Ford dealership when I was growing up. I was raised in the family business and starting pushing a broom and washing windows when I was only 9 years old, eventually graduating into detailing cars and service work through the years. At the ripe old age of 12, the first 1969 Mach 1 landed at the dealership. I was hooked. I swore I’d own one of those awesome muscle cars one day.
That day came roughly 35 years later when I bought my car on Ebay. It was an “okay” car up until the day a deer got in my way and crunched my cruiser. I was heartbroken. On the bright side, my cousin Dale Boesch in Humphrey, Nebraska not only owned the body shop that his dad and my dad had started, but he’s become one of the finest street rod builders in the business.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.
The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!
Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
What you are looking at is a combination of my dream and my cousin’s vision. Dale’s shop turned my pony car into an award-winning muscle car. There are countless modifications to perfect the fit and finish of all the body panels. The Moss Green Pearl color is a custom mix designed by Dale and the
