Marylene Maheux's passion and hobby in automotive started at a very young age, and it runs in her family. "I was daddy's little girl and worked under the hood of my father's car," recalls Maheux. In 2013, Maheux and her husband purchased a 2007 Ford Mustang V6 4.0L convertible. At the time, the Mustang wasn't running. Together, along with their 4 teenage kids, started the build process. "My husband is a certified mechanic and machinist," mentions Maheux, "and helped acheive our overall goal with the Mustang."
Maheux has 3 sons and 1 daughter, and 3 of them are different. "2 of them have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and another is autistic," mentions Maheux, "but these differences did not stop them from achieving their dreams!" Maheux's 18 year old daughter is enrolled in an automotive mechanics program and starts in September of 2017, and her 19 year old son wants to pursue a career in automotive body work. Maheux and her family share a strong bond, and it's their passion in automotive that keeps them positive, together and happy.
