I bought a 1970 Fastback project a few months ago. Most people would have scrapped it, but it's nice to get some reassurance that these cars can be saved, particularly when the ones you are saving are much more far-gone than mine! I'm only 24, so I have plenty of time to get it all fixed before I enjoy it.Thanks for the inspiration!
Just finished the video, you can thank "B Is For Build" for all the views. They're converting a new mustang into a 65, using just the outside shell of a 65. Thank's for making a "do it yourself" series. I wouldn't mind trying something like this myself. Keep up the good work.
Great content brother, you make progress really fast and do great work. Looking forward to watching the next one, timelapse clips would make great filler so we can see the whole process.
I think your re-man is top drawer. Here in UK we have a Ford 'Escort' which is being re-man [as panels] and then available as a whole welded shell... Sourced through Chinese pressings. Those who know reckon it welds up as a 'facsimile' but the panels are not factory tolerance. Nice to see some lovely '60s shape making it into the sunshine ;
I'm just amazed at the possibility to buy the entire chassis and body parts of a 60ies Mustang brand new. The whole car will be brand new. How does that work legally for road registration? Does it have to comply 2020 safety regulations or 1960s? Great craftsmanship, btw👍👍
Absolutely beautiful work!! Can you build a 66 coupe with the convertible floor plan? If/when you do, would it be possible for you to show the time lapse? Thank you, and keep the mustang vids coming!!
This is very helpful information and I appreciate the details. What do you set the gaps at, if you don't mind my asking? I will be looking forward to the next video. Thanks
Really enjoy seeing these come together. Would like it a lot more if you talked less and put the camera on a tripod and recorded the fitting and welding. Good editing software is available, would make some nice content.
If you're doing this all the time why don't you set up more of a permanent jig stuff bolted to the floor so you can just set your panels in place things like your floor pan that way you don't have to measure as much or move things around , like they do in the factory?
Because I’m a bit stupid here....how much of the skeleton is authentic? I just saw this episode pop up? Curious. Beautiful work, by the way. I’m a huge vintage Chevy iron fan, but one car I always wanted was a Mustang fastback!
Peterson Restorations So, where is the 1st video? Would love to see the bucket you started with. I’m redoing a 58 Apache with the LS engine. It’s an Arkansas truck so the rust on the truck is nowhere near what you’d find in let’s say Michigan or Maryland. So this project of yours is of great interest to me. Very educational!
Do you have to get this work validated by an auto engineer before you can sell it on? I wonder about your legal exposure in case of a failure down the line. Not that I doubt your skill. You are not using a welding jg. So how do you ensure everything is square in three planes? As I say I am curious. I was brought up in a country where this kind of build must pass through inspection before it can go on a public road. I know the laws here vary with states, some of the things you are allowed to do here kind of baffles me.
@@petersonrestorations I see form you site that you have done a few of these. Old cars still have the paperwork, but a car using all new panels would not. So what about title and getting a VIN. How does that work? It would be helpful to prospective builders if you cover this. Thanks. I guess coming from a different legislative culture, where this would be very difficult to do ( from a legal standpoint), I am amazed if there is nothing that you legally have to do to put these all new shells on the road. Thanks
@@stephengent9974 every state is different as far as titleing them and I leave that to the buyers. For example a car I fully built before was titled as a 65 but was assigned a new vin from the state.
I like that you added in the timelapse! Way better then just see you talk about the process

Always wanted to build a Mustang this way, you could go in so many directions with a fresh shell,great episodes so far !

Lol I have been following B is for Build also, and this guy caught my attention and I was not let down!
I am a Trans AM guy but watching these videos has been fascinating none the less.
Funny, I always kinda took you as a Mazda Miata/VW Cabriolet type of guy. Or maybe even a Mini Van, of any make or model.
Great video, can't wait to see it done!
It's interesting to watch the master at work.
You the coolest one man shop in USA !! Doing grate job to keep this American legends still on the roads!! Take care your self!
Thanks I appreciate that!!
first generation mustangs are all beautiful especially 1967 and 1968 are my big dream but this will remain a dream😢😢😢
Its amazing to see a beautiful car come tgether from bits. Just brilliant!
Very cool . Your knowledge are absolutely is amazing
Great content brother, you make progress really fast and do great work. Looking forward to watching the next one, timelapse clips would make great filler so we can see the whole process.
Thanks for watching
Nice mustang man 👍✌
Ben. Wonderful job. Your work is amazing.
You do great work wish they made them parts 20 years ago had to get use parts from out west to do a 65 fastback
Thanks!
Great job!! Greetings from Brazil
Really like watching some of the fab work, i know how hard it is to get work done filming, good channel
Yea it's a learning curve
I’m really enjoying this video series, wish I had the skill set to do this myself.
That's great when you can work in a nice clean garage, no hunting for tools and parts all over the place, everything is where it should be.
Exactly!!
It is the most beautiful car in the world😢😢😢
This is some good content. Curious to see you make a 70’s Charger from scratch.. if that’s even possible. And the time lapse was legit!
I'm not sure if they make all the charger pieces yet, they might
@@petersonrestorations They have to be close on the mopars. Graveyard cars had the Phantom Cuda and they didn't start with much at all on that.
Just found this channel,very good vlogs love watching them interesting.
Thanks for watching!!
Coming together. Nice weather today to work.
Always love the chance to open the doors up

I usually only do fastbacks, but maybe in the future.
No jig !! Bravo
wow pretty nice pieces. Do you have to paint parts before it goes together?
Some pieces I do yes
Amazing work. What type of table/platform are you using and how much effort was involved to level it?
Just made of 1/8 plate and 2x2 tubing. It took about a full day to make
Peterson Restorations I found your video about the table. Thanks!
I have watched a few of your videos and have just subscribed i like the no bull shit fake drama that accompanies other car videos.
This is very helpful information and I appreciate the details. What do you set the gaps at, if you don't mind my asking? I will be looking forward to the next video. Thanks
No more then a 1/4 in usually
You should publish all of your measurements in a spiral bound book and sell them.
New to the channel, absolutely love your work amazing job. I would love to see you do a coupe to fastback conversion
Really enjoy seeing these come together. Would like it a lot more if you talked less and put the camera on a tripod and recorded the fitting and welding. Good editing software is available, would make some nice content.
That jack in the rear driver side gives me such anxiety ahahaha
If you're doing this all the time why don't you set up more of a permanent jig stuff bolted to the floor so you can just set your panels in place things like your floor pan that way you don't have to measure as much or move things around , like they do in the factory?
I will make attachments over time to line things up quicker. But for now I have this setup working great
You do nice work WOW!!!! I just subscribed, love you videos. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you, and thanks for subscribing
When welding ,what wire do you use and do you weld with gas or flux cored wire?
How much is a1970 fastback shell. I'm from New Zealand
I list all my shells at $19,500
New to channel. How will you apply VIN number to this vehicle?
Armands Sakne in many states would have to be registered as a kit-car...or you can VIN swap it. (if that’s legal)
Because I’m a bit stupid here....how much of the skeleton is authentic? I just saw this episode pop up? Curious. Beautiful work, by the way. I’m a huge vintage Chevy iron fan, but one car I always wanted was a Mustang fastback!
About 5% left on this one unfortunately
Peterson Restorations Well regardless, you do really nice work. Does this company that you use for body parts also do old Chevy iron?
Peterson Restorations So, where is the 1st video? Would love to see the bucket you started with. I’m redoing a 58 Apache with the LS engine. It’s an Arkansas truck so the rust on the truck is nowhere near what you’d find in let’s say Michigan or Maryland. So this project of yours is of great interest to me. Very educational!
Nice Work. I watched a video where you mentioned where you purchased the doors from, but I don't recall now.
I buy dynacorn metal
Can I ask what your settings are on your welder when spot welding the thinner stuff? And what size wire are you using? Great job so far!
would this not be easier with a spotwelder? no holes to drill? less grinding?
Yes and no, a good bit of spots a spot welder wouldn't get to. But I enjoy using the mig
Roughly how much does all the parts cost??
10-14k range
What does one of these cost all in if you have nothing to start with?
I list my shells at $19,500
Peterson Restorations nice, thanks for the reply.
Is there a way to dip the shell like the new vehicles are. That wat the vehicle is sealed inside and out.
I'm sure there are companies that can do that yes
How do you get a title for that in the end. And how do you stamp the VIN?
Every car differs depending on what I start with
@@petersonrestorations oh, so you basically taking the one from the car you cut in half? I mean, in the end you just replaced a bit of metal ;)
Do you have to get this work validated by an auto engineer before you can sell it on? I wonder about your legal exposure in case of a failure down the line. Not that I doubt your skill.

I do all mine off of measurements. And lots of my shell are on the road. I would never build them if they weren't done right.

How come you don't finish the cars?
Building and selling shells is part of the business I do
How much ??
not much of the original car is left... why not just get all the parts and assemble like IKEA pack..... ur doin that anyway
All depends on what I can start with
You talk to much not show the work
Where do you buy your shell panels?
Dynacorn
