I can't even begin to image how nice it must be to assemble this Mustang with all new components, bolts, washers, and nuts everywhere!
It be fun 😸
But my hair starts to raise whenever i see then drill or cut a hole and don't grind down the sharp edges and no primer, paint or sealer is
being used to protect the bare metal.
@@3DPeter Just yesterday I bought a 1965 mustang fastback with the pony interior. The guy who had the car had bought a 1967 Chevelle from me about 40 years ago. I found his for sale listing on craigslist where it had just been listed three hours before. The car was about 25 miles away from me so I shot over and checked it out. I had some good items that I was willing to offer plus $7000 and he took it. The car has all the new sheet metal, floor pans, rear quarters, front fenders everything accept the engine and trans. I am thrilled and have done four mustangs to this point plus I am certified in corvette restoration by Bloomington Gold Corvettes. I never thought I'd ever find a 65 fastback that was a good deal.
@@TheGeonam love to see so videos of it up here on UA-cam. Even if it’s just some walk arounds and what not. Congratulations on the find my friend, and keep it in good order as they are getting harder and harder to find. 😔...
American muscle is really changing now days.. 😳
Right Ti nice to work with new components When. You have the money 💰 company s. Given the part s to build car 🚗 on the show. When have new parts all round you. Ti must be nice to work with new parts
this is great and ALOT of intelligent wonderful details thank you for sharing great job guys and MORE to come
Much better looking than I expected. Well done!
We always ran the coolant overflow tank into the frame rail OR properly onerboard so any water wont get under a tire and cause a crash. Also like the poly coolant that operates at low/zero pressure.
Awesome job on the livery.
Just plain beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the holes drilled after paint should get a touch-up of prime and color to prevent rust creeping out later...Just sayin.
@@Grunt49 Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Looks like a show car to me.
swab some axle grease on it before placing the grommets.
saw same, thought same ... there´s the rusting base
This car will probably never see rain.
@@williamsizemore98 it don’t have to rain there is moisture in the air. And it will oxides 👌🏴
Fuel pump is 80g an hour to a 6lbs reducer to a carb. A bit overkill don’t you think. This is like having a water hose going into a bucket and sipping the water with a straw
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
Beautiful
The perfect endless hobby for those with OCD.
What a beautiful car
Awesome job guys
Its sick.....beautifull..
Everything is new..
Beautiful job boys.An admirer from england.
Very good works .
Glad to see a Moroso system on this one, he was a great guy and friend.
A big pot of money to have all kinds of things and fun doing it! 😀
Amazing automobile engineering.
Love the color nice build
Beast car I ever owned was a 66 Mustand. Black on black. All original. Beautiful car.
Show .......!
Parabéns a Equipe !
Bonito trabalho, esse Mustang ficou único !
That paint is all over the place
Beautiful car
that's a really nice red
that Robert Redford can rebuild a car, amazing!
What a beauty
Awesome
That looks one of those GET OUTTA MY WAY cars
Gorgeous paint scheme. Looks familiar to me. Like Parnelli Jones or maybe Dan Gurneys ride from the day....but I could be confused.
I'll go the other way. That is pretty darn fugly.
14:04 Oh wow I was not expecting Zakk Wylde, that's pretty cool of him to show up and help out!
He's awesome
Igual quedo impresionante
This car is badass!
Made me a little nervous when the kill switch tab was tacked and weren't wearing gloves.
I kinda feel like some of the accessories were an after thought, drilling into fresh paint when everything could have been mocked up before and drilled/painted over right away to prevent rust from forming VERY quickly.
But I digress it's still a kick ass car!
g
tptp
Good job💪👍🤑
Man it's sssooo clean.....I will not ride the car out of my home, if I have one, I'll put in the clean glass air-tight room, sealed with 32 carat gold. And just for eyes catching only.....😎😎😎
I love this build. It’s a nasty ride.
Reciprocating driveshaft. Cool.
I wouldn't be able to ignore the bare metal on the holes you drilled
Lol...that was my 2nd though after watching...but those are the only stains on the white vest ;o)
That and the abysmal fuel line run. It was a really great 17:50 commercial for all the dealers that gave them parts for the plug.
lol @ less reciprocating mass with an aluminum driveshaft, since when do driveshafts reciprocate?
About as often as my wife does........lol.
All that work and still no cup holders
I can smell that paint job from here
Surprised they went with a live axle, that was a clear performance compromise on the build! The 9" they used is better suited for straight line performance!
Nope , depends on , weight torque…. There are many advantages to a live axle in some situations , try a pan car with ir = last place , daytona cup car , injected sprint cars , 1965 to 1970 mustangs vs 1965 to 1970 vets (many tracks , many years , so much proof ) better for tires , maintains alignment, more durable , typically less parasitic loss.
I would like to see all the receipts for this build.
probably they spent more money that you need to build a small but good house.
@@darkangelmexico i’m thinking 100-150k parts and labor, crazy
The drive shaft is not a “ RECIPRACATING MASS It’s “ ROTATING MASS “. There’s a huge difference , recipracating = is a forward then backward motion , like a hand saw would work . ROTATING MASS is just that , rotation . It goes around around around ! Just remember this about a light drive shaft .. you get the obvious weight reduction but what you lose is INERTIA . A heavier shaft will help with “ free rotation “ . Lighter shaft will still rotate freely of course but would stop its inertia rotation sooner than the heavier one..
Actually, the driveshaft is rotating mass, like the flywheel, it has rotational inertia, not reciprocating mass like the pistons.
What's the point of the shifter extension.?? The old bloke was miles away from the pedals and the yound guy firing the car up was slid all the way forward with his clutch leg extended as straight as it could. That seat needs to come about 6" forward.
Bustin our bolts lol
Curious on the 'cost to build' price for a machine like this.
Between $25k-$50k if I had to guess. The body is $17,500 no hood, no front quarter panels, and no front facia.
I seen this months ago and still waiting for the track stuff.?
This show actually aired YEARSSSSSS ago. Here is a follow up episode that says it has track time. www.powernationtv.com/episode/HP2010-05/mustang-track-car-on-course
At 2:38 I can't stop thinking "you dated lasagna, twice?"
Wow! Ur gay
@@miketheratbastard40 No, ur gay!!! I'm clever!
Should’ve got rid of the Leef Springs. I’ve got leaf spring on my wagon which a Horse tows
Wait, was this the garage find mustang that was on Ebay a few weeks ago?
Link?
No...this is an old show
This was filmed probably 10 years ago....
what happens when the overflow tank dump valve fails and dumps coolant/water on your front tire?
Cool👍
Hey mike would like to see some 04 to 06 pontiac gto
Sorry if i missed it, but what organization and class is this going to run in?
www.powernationtv.com/episode/HP2010-05/mustang-track-car-on-course may find your answers there. This is over 8 years old.
@@guns2317 thanks
Beautiful car race
I like skin
Did you run the cam in?
???
Where can the front and rear suspension be purchased?
Das auto ist sehr wertig👍❤
Not a ford lover. But that is nice
I would have gone with a ACI front end , could have eliminated those shock towers.
fuel injected less headache and it runs better. The color why red? It’s to bright.
What color red is that
He named it.
To much madness
This is OCD heaven.
Can you share with me the red paint the code for that please love that colour
Does anyone know what happened to Mitch Medford?
How do I enter to win this baby?
Old show
Can you add links to the components you installed?
Track cars are cool 😎
Why did you go with a solid rear end when you could have put in independent? If this is a pure track day car, wouldn't you get better handling going with independent.
At least coil overs with a better controlling set up. But I guess it might be in the class rules they plan on racing.
Nostalgia rules
Not sure I like the plate behind the rad, limits are flow and might cause over temping
1:41 - get into a wreck with those seats and you're pretty much guaranteed broken ribs and/or a punctured lung.... It must have shoulder supports at a minimum.
damn didn't even notice that, yeah that's gonna leave a huge gash along the whole ribcage
I'm sorry, but didn't you say you were giving it away?
who makes a 347 ci I had a 55 pontiac with a 347 ?
The drive shaft is rotating mass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You really going to leave that shifter set up in there?
You guys are getting me drunk on it! Lol! Indeed!
Lock cylinders. There are no “tumblers” in car door locks. Just sayin.
I got it
Joe Elmore!
Whoever told these guys this was a great paint scheme lied to them
💎💎💎👏🏻
Recriprocating driveshafts?????? WHOA
Probably should treat those drilled holes with something.
Yo quiero ver un chevelle malibu1975 de 4 puertas en una modificacion asi como esa😅👍
All this work and yet a super charged brz will beat it on a track
One big add
3:05 Drive shafts don't reciprocate.
Mejor que nuevo...
Leaf springs...Christ they've not been used as suspension in UK since 18th century hay wagons...
ആശാനേ എന്റെ പ്രീമിയർ പദ്മിനി കൂടെ ഇതേ പോലെ ഒന്നു restore ചെയ്ത് തരുമോ
To bad this classic wasnt built to be a street hot rod instead of a race only car.
It wouldn't be too hard make it road legal.
Leaf springs? On a track car???
Might aswell ad a dill-dough to the seat so u can really blow out ur back
@@T0YCHEST that's a creepy thing to say
@@64maxpower soft
Wow, the booming voice guy actually picked up a ratchet this time and pretended to help put the engine in.
he did his share of that long ago, back in the late90's/early 2000's, lol
Wish I were handy
I always tell people if you can follow directions and not put your eye out when you pick up a screwdriver you can do a lot more than you think.
Hmm, a non-collapsible steering column on a '68 car. Don't even want to think about a crash!...
IT WOULD BE NICE IF IT WAS A STREETCAR
who win this pony
