It’s Mustang Girl Monday brought to you by Team Mustang Girls! This week we’re hanging out with Jennifer Hatfield and sharing her long term love affair with Mustangs!  Jennifer grew up with a family that was into racing and Fords. She fell in love with Mustangs at the of 8 at the drag strip and the attraction has only grown since then.

 

Jennifer’s first car was a 1990 Mustang LX.  Looking back now she says it was “just a 4 cylinder, but I had so much pride and joy!” She eventually traded the car for a 1989 GT.  It was her first 5 speed and taught her a lot.  After that Jennifer moved onto a 1990 GT but her lead foot got her into a little bit of trouble so she had to take a break.  Until she found “The Bitch”!  A red 1989 GT; 5 speed with full length headers, flowmasters, 3.73 gears and by far her favorite of all her Stangs. “The Bitch was mean, that is the one that got away…”

 

After a temporary separation from Mustangs the other love in her life, husband Keith Hatfield, bought her a 2002 Mustang 6 so he could surprise her with a trip to Mustang Week. Then it started… she found a great deal on wheels and a body kit.  Not long after she painted the car and then the car that came with a bare 6 cylinder now houses a modified 351 Windsor.  Jennifer and her husband do all the work on the car in their home garage.  “Everything! Paint, bodywork, interior, engine and transmission swaps, we did it all!’ 

Even the custom seats were made by a member of the family. Jennifer’s father has been doing auto upholstery for 40 years and with his help they came up with customs seats with embroidered horses and the name of the car, Ghostrider, across the back seat.  

 

Jennifer and Ghostrider have taken home Best Custom at World of Wheel 2013, Best Engine, and People’s Choice Awards and just recently won Ride of the Week at Ratemyridez.com.  Check out her page there and click HOT to vote her for Ride of the Month!
