exactly what Jonathan Flores did with his 1969 twin turbo Mustang Coupe. Flores or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jfboosted\/?hl=en\">@jfboosted<\/a> as he is known on Instagram is a builder and influencer known for his insane &#8217;69 Coupe build. We got the chance to ask him a few questions. Check it out!<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Can you tell us about your background and how you got into building cars?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well<em>, I was just the average teenager hitting 16 years of age<\/em>. When<em> I felt that it was time for myself to search for a car and yea there were plenty of cars I really wanted, but nothing made me feel more alive when I spotted my very first project 1969 <\/em>Mustang<em>. Something about this car made me want to keep it. Not knowing I was going to have a <\/em>hands-on<em> experience nor get my sweat,<\/em> guts<em>, and tears to accomplish it, But <\/em>that&#8217;s<em> when I started to get into building cars.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What made you decide to build a &#8217;69 coupe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Well at the time I <\/em>didn&#8217;t<em> know anything about cars, Well yea the basic muscle\\ imports kind of stuff and me thinking this was the only version of a 69 <\/em>Mustang<em>. I bought it, but I <\/em>didn&#8217;t<em> have any regrets because when I first saw it. It was one hell of a car to me!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. What&#8217;s been done to it? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well<em>, I could put my mods list but its too big. <\/em>Let&#8217;s<em> just say a full restoration.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Any plans for the future? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>For my mustang? <\/em>hmm<em>, maybe some minor details for the interior and exterior like a diffuser and side skirts and for interior maybe a full digital <\/em>gauge<em>, but other than that I feel accomplished and <\/em>I&#8217;m<em> planning to move on to another project.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. What car would you build next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The people that follow me know, but I will soon tell you guys <\/em>about<em> next week if I <\/em>received<em> the car<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Dream it, plan it, build it, is exactly what Jonathan Flores did with his 1969 twin turbo Mustang Coupe.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":53647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[17,3470],"tags":[6114,6116,6113,892,6115,4009],"class_list":["post-53632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guest-column","category-news","tag-builder","tag-coupe","tag-jonathan-flores","tag-mustang","tag-social-media-influencer","tag-twin-turbo"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_1679-min-e1532475342507.jpeg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p42YSK-dX2","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53632"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53632\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53650,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53632\/revisions\/53650"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
