Q:   What kind of air cleaner was used on the '65 Mustang Crazy Horse build? I would love to know what company is doing such unique work. Can you also tell us about the breather that was used?
A:   Walter Prosper designed and built the air cleaner; he also made the custom breather for us.

Q:   Can you please tell us the colors used on the '65 Mustang Crazy Horse? Are they standard colors (can you give us the codes) or custom-mixed?
A:   Here are the paint codes (they are Dupont Hot Hues):

* The yellow is YS 911KH base coat (Dupont Chromabase).
* BC 003K is the mid coat (Boyd Mellow Yellow).
* A clear coat follows.
* The base coat is Silver 44489K .
* Final clear coat.

Q:   How much input do you and Boyd have in the show and the final cut? Are you happy with the way you and everyone at the shop is portrayed?
A:   We allow the cameras to come into our lives and world, perhaps to assist in allowing our world as we know it to be seen by other people with very different lifestyles.

We agreed that the show producers won't tell us how to build hot rods, and we won't tell them how to edit the 400 filming hours per episode. We hoped to maybe entertain while sharing ourselves with others.

To be real honest, Boyd and I see the program the first time it is shown on Friday nights at 10 p.m., and there are parts of the editing that I really don't like ... but I have learned over the course of the past 18 months to let it roll as much as I can.

Q:   What was your first car?
A:   My first car was a '65 Mustang. Boyd and I went to the Orange County Mustang meeting; we drove Nancy Grey's (the Crazy Horse). I love being able to just go ... drive and enjoy the hot rods!

Q:   How many cars does Boyd have?
A:   That's a great question — sometimes I don't even know. Boyd always seems to be buying, selling, trading, building ... as long as he leaves my 1940 Ford Coupe alone, he won't get hurt!
