Sample answer
“I worked on a vintage 1967 Mustang that needed a complete overhaul. The owner wanted a modern look while preserving its classic charm. I used a combination of custom bodywork techniques, including fiberglass fenders and a unique paint job with a pearlescent finish. One major challenge was fitting modern wheels without altering the original body shape. The client was thrilled with the final product, and it even won 'Best in Show' at a local car show, which was a proud moment for me.”
