Growing up the youngest of 7 children Scott Jaegly the owner of the Spider-Man themed Mustang shown above had most everything a kid could want or need except things like comic books or the newest toys.  Scott grew up on a farm in the country with his brothers and sisters spending most of his time doing chores around the house and playing with his friends who lived next door.  His father was a car guy who worked as a salesmen for Sears Automotive which meant he always had homemade go carts and rebuilt motorcycles to play around with.  While growing up watching his older siblings fixing and working on the coolest cars Scott always knew his time would come one day to do the very same things they did.

When Scott was about 10 years old he had a pretty bad bicycle accident that sent him to the hospital with a concusion.  This would be Scott's first time away from his home overnight and his father who felt pretty bad about the whole incident bought him a comic book to help cheer him up.  You probably can guess what the comic book was, Marvel's Spider-Man.  Scott, who says he still has the same comic book his father brought to him that day in the hospital says he was hooked on Spider-Man after reading just one comic book.  From then on out he was into everything Spider-Man, watching the old 70's Spider-Man TV shows, the 80's cartoon version and collecting several pieces of Spider-Man Memorabilia along the way.

Unfortunately when Scott was 16-years-old his father passed away and he never really got to share the usual car guy relationship with his father liked he hoped.  So when Scott reached a point in his life when he could combine the two things that reminded him most of his father, cool cars and Spider-Man he created the ultimate memory for himself in what he calls Spidey-Stang.
