What happens when a Mustang meets a Jaguar? The Mustangs Northwest club paid a visit to Jaguar restoration guru, Randy Pickett on April 19th. Randy is very involved in Jaguar restoration when he isn’t working his day job but Randy also has a lot to say about getting all classic cars on the road again, maintaining your classic car and tips for restoring a classic. Thank you to Randy and wife, Sue, for putting up with some wild Mustangs for a few hours. Below the photos is a copy of Randy’s “Dead Jag Checklist” that can be applied to most vehicles, not just Jags.
After visiting with Randy, the Mustangs made their way over to the Millcreek Burgermaster, for lunch and some socializing.
