"Hi, I'm Joel Jones. I own Jonesy's Inc, a company that specializes in auto restoration, and customization, so you've decided to perform a Resto-Mod Restoration on your classic. What this means, is the vehicle still appears to be stock, like it was in 1965, but it may not be the right color. It may have a higher horsepower engine, like this one. It may have a custom radiator, like this vehicle. Things have been modernized, but it still appears like it is a restoration from 1965. It still appears to be a 1965 Mustang. Other areas that you can do modifications, without sacrificing what was a 1965 Mustang, are brakes, differential, transmissions, air conditioning. You can add air conditioning, even though it wasn't necessarily an option, so if you decide to go with a Resto-Mod Restoration, for your hot rod or classic car, then the goal is to have fun with it, and to modernize it, so that it's fun to use. It's fun to drive, so improve the functionality of these cars, that might not have been very functional when they were new, by today's modern standards."
