Good video, why not just buy a new Dynacorn Mustang Fastback shell?
I would personally add a roll cage, since most likely you wont be driving around with airbags. A roll cage with a 4 point harness is a must for safety. Then again, i plan on taking mine to the track. No back seats nessisary.
Great layout of buying one of these. Thank you for posting so much info in one place.
GT is my favorite
i have a 65 coup with a inline 200 6cyl have a 289 out of a 67 mustang i also have the 67 rear end but the axel is 2 inches wider than the 65 before i sell axel would tires fit in wheel wells of the fast back conversion kit also am rebuilding 289 to Carolle Shelbys Cobra specs for this car about 310 to 320 hp if i cant use 67 rear end what rear end and gear ratio should i use as i think the 6 cyl rear end will not take the torque of the cobra engine great job Scott and Bless you and your family
Hey pastor sir thank you so much for this video it’s fantastic, I’ve subscribed and would love to have your help to do this project on my 67. I’ve been struggling to get this kinda information as I’m in uk 🇬🇧 Birmingham city England . I’m so much enjoying meeting all the new Mustang brothers and hope to cross the pond next year just to meet some fellow Mustang brothers and hang out for a week or so ..please can you send me that list I’d need for the parts .. really appreciate it brother .. thank you very much may the blessings of the almighty be upon you ❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
So if I were to send 7k to 10k you can build a FB or what would be the price ?
What’s your opinion on using glue on body panels
Hi Scott- I liked and subscribed- I see no email address for the parts list- thanks, Kevin
We updated the lists and created illustrated books out of all of them. You can download them here: app.gumroad.com/products GumRoad charges $10 for the download but it makes it simple and efficient. Moreover you’re getting a much more robust document now.
Just get to the point.
You can order the lists here and you don’t have to worry about watching. app.gumroad.com/products
I use a I phone and don’t have a description box. Can you put in the comments

Ever thought about using a spot welder gun
A good one is super bulky and expensive. The harbor freight level gun won’t do what the factory pinch weld guns did. You’re better off and have a better bond with well placed plug welds.
You converting a coupe to a fastback like a sinner to a believer👍👍👍
lol!!!!
Like the way you think.Thanks for info.Im watching all your videos. Having problem following the order of videos
Yeah I started making the videos after I had already started this conversion.
What did you have to do to inner body to widen wheel tubs
Nothing to the quarters themselves but I did run frame rails that are narrower than the factory. However you can do tubs without narrowing the frame. Both the 1967 & 68 have lots of room for tires if you use mini tubs and the factory frame. There is really no reason to narrow the rear frame rails.
@@ScottHarness1 thanks
Can you use a covertible
You can and it would be stronger because the convertible has a better inner frame however a convertible is valued close to a fastback, so you might convert it and in the end the convertible would have been worth more restored than converted.
Sorry about your mother. But your heart is fulfilled because she is in heaven watching down on you.
Thank you.
Hello, sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I lost my mom 3 years ago and it will always be the hardest part of my journey called life. I come to your channel for advice on doing a conversion and its giving me more and more confidence. Thank you for that
Man that means a ton. Thank you. I enjoy building these cars but there is so much more to life... Blessings to you my friend.
Greetings..rev...from.florida..do.you.painture.your.saro
I love your videos! I love the "just do it" mindset. ...and thank you for the blessings!
Thank you.
Amen Brother...........................................
Here’s my question. Two identical years one coupe one fast back, both need quarters roof skin and trunk? You decide to convert the coupe to fastback. When you’re done, which one is worth more? OG fastback is not original fastback because all parts are replaced. Title??
The original fastback will be worth more depending on the parts used. The value in the conversion is the starting point, the fastback is normally much more expensive from the start than the coupe. For instance a good coupe can be had for $3-4k, a rusted fastback is $19-30k. The conversion will cost the same as replacing the sheetmetal on the fastback, in this example let's say $5k. In the end you will have $8-9k in the converted coupe and it will be worth $25k, you will have $24-35k in the fastback. It will be worth about that. So the coupe will net you a profit if sold of about $15k, the fastback will be sold for about what you have in it.
Thank u so much bro I bought the list just now
Thank you my friend.
Where’s part 2 to this ? I really enjoyed it ❤ 🇬🇧
The entire series is in that play list. Thank you for the comments!
What are the most important factors to consider when choosing a coupe to convert? Torque boxes, frame rails, etc. Thanks
I have a check list that and a video that goes alone with it just on that topic. Here is the check list: coupetofastback.gumroad.com/l/vdhpb
Great information Scott! I think that most of the negative comments here are from people that spend more time trolling YT vids than they spend with a wrench in their hand! And they probably all voted for Joe Bidumb and Caramel Useless..
LOL! truth!
Im a 100% Mopar guy. But this makes me want to build fastbacks on the side to fund my Mopar projects!!
Heck yeah. It is such a rewarding build.
Scott you can title it in Vermont and then transfer it to your state
I have heard that, I am planning on giving that a try.
I just don’t think it’s possible
Well...It's happened multiple times.
Thankyou Scott!!!!!!!
My first car was a 1966 Mustang that I purchased for $150. in 1974. I worked the summer on the tobacco farms down in Conn. I still have that car and am going to build it again!!!!!
Nothing better than history with a car. Build it!
So… hypothetically speaking. If someone took Little Red and converted it to a fastback its value would increase?
There are exceptions but every coupe that I have converted or I have knowledge of being converted increased in value.
@@ScottHarness1 I was just heckling you. I believe you know what you’re talking about
lol! I like it!
I just bought a 67 coupe yesterday the body is in insanely good condition i was actually surprised it has a fresh coat of primer on it and no rust bumps or sheet metal holes honestly the only negatives i have to say is that it has a lost title and that it has an automatic transmission but what makes up for that is it runs and driving fule and brake lines are basically brand new feels like it just needs new brakes and it has a 302 in it!! Picked it up for 4 grand of the forsale group
That my friend is a good deal. How is it coming along?
I’m buying a project coup man… an going to work in my garage… you inspired me to take the leap!
That's great! You can do it!
B.S!! You can barely even paint a car for 6grand let alone build and engine, new exhaust, suspension and tires.
You didn’t watch the video nor read the caption. Go back now and try again.
Good for you Pastor, I love seeing men of God working on cars cause besides preaching, they love cars! I started following a few others doing these and I love the idea and they look fantastic too. Lord willing, my tests come back with and news but cancer I'm going to finish my 68 Chevy Impala and may be one of these. I will subscribe to your channel. I need to do a few vieos of my car and not just my MiniMax concrete mixers and a few political TV interviews I've done for National News channels. I'll be stopping in and look at your older videos. Thank you!
Thank you for the great comments and know this I am praying for you and your tests. Please keep me updated.
@@ScottHarness1 The tests did comeback negative for cancer Praise God! Now we have to figure out what exactly is going on. Thank you for your kind words and Prayers, I truly appreciate them.
Praise!!!! I’ll keep praying.
Awesome video
Thank you!!
Hi what would you charge someone. If they drop off mustang and fastback parts.just metal work
Hey my friend, I don't do the conversions as a business but there are some businesses out there that do. My caution is, be careful... Secondly, the real savings is doing it yourself.
Hey Scott, your video just came across my feed I really appreciate that you took your time to share this information. I am considering doing a coupe to fastback conversion and would love to have your checklist. I did like and subscribe to your channel. Great content! Thank you! I hope this finds you well and in good spirits! Best regards-Jim
Hey Jim sorry for the slow response! We made the check list in to a book and it can be downloaded from Gumroad: coupetofastback.gumroad.com/l/vdhpb They charge $10 to host the download but it is a much better list, with way more info in it.
I love a numbers matching car. With that said I am semi retired blue collar and even building a couple conversion is going to strain the budget. I have a 385 lima engine that I'm going to build and I'm looking for a machine shop to convert to a 427 side oiler. Another big expense. After much soul searching I realized what I want is a car that LOOKS like a fastback but runs like a GT40. I don't care if it has to start on a pinto body. I saw one fastback that was 400 thousand. It was beautiful but I'd be terrified to drive it. If I achieve my conversion I will drive it EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE !
Set your expectations before you start I think that really helps with the project. A daily driver with more modern running gear will serve you incredibly well. Remember many of the vintage engines never lived much past 60k miles and to get to that 60 was a constant work. There is zero doubt that the modern fuel injected, computer controlled, strict tolerance manufactured stuff lasts longer with much less wrench efforts. But sometimes we just want that vintage sound, feeling and such.
Actually a coupe converted to a fastback even without added sub frames will have a more rigid body than either of the two as created by Ford . Now in my seventies I regret selling my 1967s in 1973 when I went in the US Army . Yes plural I had both S codes 390 at the same time from 70 to 73. The fastback had a 4 speed top loader the coupe had a C6 auto . The fast back body twister more under extreme load...versus the coupe. the folding seat in the fastback had their plus but only came in handy if I was ferrying 2x4x8 studs home ..and for that I always used my pick up truck .
Ford was brilliant in the unibody design not because it made a better car but they were the first to build a car completely from sheet metal. Ford innovated in manufacturing for many years this is one of them. On our end (the user) the unibody isn't the most rigid for high horsepower or impact. So we are left doing some work. The body design makes it worth it in value to put the effort in though.
@@ScottHarness1 Ford.. was not first to build uni-body cars in the USA, Nash 600 1941 to 1949 was . The Nash 600 w. They were arguably the first at building larger production numbers uni-body cars and models for the USA market versus the other . Properly constructed a uni-body is stronger than body on frame ...the Ford 1960 TO 1967 Thunderbirds are an example of that .That body platform could take the high torque of big blocks all day long and not twist like the more anemically built Mustangs. I owned two 64s one with 390 the other with an optional truck motor a 430 with greater torque specs which was sold under a special corporate order system if the prospective buyer intended to tow a large trailer even though that engine ( 430 ) was not longer offered through dealer options since 1960 or 62 as my memory recalls. Why tow a trailer with a Tbird remains a mystery to me to this day ...fortunately bing 3 owner mine came without a trailer hitch .. and no signs of one ever having been installed 🖖
Good history and brilliant. I stand corrected!
Save even more buying it in pieces when you don’t need all of the 1/4 door A and B pillar pieces
You can buy the unwelded inner structures but you can't just buy the upper portion, if you could we'd be doing that almost all the time! They know how to make the money...
Did you set the pinion angle with the springs loaded?
The first video in my attempt to show you how to set the angle I screwed it up completely! I had to cut it all out (in a later video) and redo all of it. And yes I did set it under load.
Lots of room left for more offset on the inside of the tire
Sure is. Honestly there is lots of wheel housing room in the mustang to begin with.
Thank you for your helpful videos. Is there any plan to add the 69 and 70 fastback parts list? Do you know if there is much differance between a 67/68 and 69/70 coupe to fastback conversion?
Thank you! There are quite a bit of differences between the 67-68 and the 69-70. It is still doable, I think one of the reasons that more people don't do that conversion is 69-70 Fastbacks didn't jump in price like the 67-68's. You can still get a decent 70 Fastback for $20k, with the 69 being about $5k more. The conversion as far as the metal work would be very similar but the parts are different, and a little more expensive.
Well I have a fully done Buick skylark 1977 sedan and it's fully FULLY done and I want to convert it to coupe what do you guys suggest?
Thank you!
if it was really this easy everyone would be doing it.
It isn't easy but doable.
