Project Resolution – The Final Chapter?
Eight months ago, we set out to transform this tired 1989 Fox Body Mustang into a cool cruise night ride, while working with a $7,000 budget. The ultimate goal was to show what a typical “car guy” (or “car girl”) can accomplish at home. As you can see, the transformation is incredible.

Nick C., Sr. Content & Engagement Marketing Manager- What Makes Us Tick
My favorite Eastwood product is the powder coat system. When I came to Eastwood (I started out by doing my Penn State internship at Eastwood), I worked with the HotCoat Powder Coating Division.
