    That's awesome! I have a '67 T code coupe setting in my junk cars. It was mostly complete until I sold the grill and a headlight bezel about 8 years ago. I have always wanted to do this though but I wasn't sure what all was involved. I might just drag it in the shop someday and do it now.

      I would give it a try. I've done restorations and you always make some mistakes.
      The sheet metal parts are somewhat expensive.
      Two things holding you back. You are afraid to fail or you don't have money for the parts.

      @@cammontreuil7509 Yeah, usually for me it's money but at this point it's option #3, I have absolutely zero time. But that will hopefully change in the future. About 2 years ago my best friend received a '67 fastback from his father in law. His father in law bought it in 1974 wrecked in the right front corner. The father in law bondo'ed it up and drove it for about 6 months and then tossed it in the corner of his garage and that's where it set, except for 1 move in late '90's to a new garage, up to 2021. The father in law was dying of cancer and gave my friend the car and a credit card and said he just wanted to see the car restored and running. I actually offered to give them my '67 to use for parts but new parts were cheap enough and of course new. Well in the summer of 2022 the paint and bodywork were done, the original red with red interior, all new seat covers and carpet, new bumpers, wheels and tires. The father in law got to ride to several car shows and enjoy a couple of cruise nights. He passed in the fall. The car desperately needs either an engine rebuild or replacement. It's a 289 so I'd replace it myself, but anyway, you are right about not waiting, it might be too late at some point!

      I was just watching a video on CUDA's and they found all the imperfections with a body just by looking at the welds and bare metal from parts chopping that will seriously affect the bottom line of the car's worth. They could tell that a Barracuda rear was used on a Cuda body, just from slight discolorations in specific spots.

    It was interesting seeing this conversion done. It turned out well. Although I'm not really sure why anyone would want to do this, but maybe Fastbacks are not readily available.

    Okay... so this was cool and I subscribed. IDK... 20 years ago or so, I went looking for a reasonably priced fastback from my birth year... a 1968... and I couldn't find one. I bought a 65 coupe... and a 66 convertible... but I simply could not find the 68 fastback. So... it looks like you guys have a good fix for that problem. I know the convertible had a bunch of extra support built into the body and frame because it was more likely to twist... but all the mustangs will twist when you put enough power into them. So I'm curious if your fix includes any beefing up of the frame and body. I guess I look at a few other videos to find out...

      We do if the customer wants it. For a stock 351 really no bracing is needed. If you go stroker or even coyote then yes, you should look at frame rail connectors and beefy suspension.
