Ivan Violante: 2015 Ford Mustang

Ivan Violante's family owns a car dealership. "Naturally, I got into cars," he mentions, "and the 2015 Ford Mustang isn't my first one." Violante has always made his cars stand out, and this one is by far the best one he's done. "It's the first one I modded," he states, "and it's still a work in progress." Violante enjoys working on cars; from body work to engine work, he's done most of the work on this build himself. He also thanks mechanics and shops in El Paso, TX for their help. "Chuy from West Texas Performance and Rigo from Rigo Built Garage helped me on a couple things I needed."

Violante had a passion and desire for the Ford Mustang since it was released. The first day he had possession of the Mustang, he installed the full exhaust and had the USAF Thunderbirds design made. "The current design I have on the Mustang, now in its fourth revision, was done by me," he mentions. Violante may not be a veteran, but he grew up with someone who is now in the Air Force. "He is my friend, but more like a brother," he mentions, "and my theme is my way of thanking him for his service, as well as all our military!"

Violante continues to plan for his build, "it will be fast and it will be show ready," he states.
