Really cool channel!!! Glad that I found it. I will be following along with this build. My first car was a 66 mustang coupe and I really loved that old pony. Got it for 900.00 dollars back in 1972, not bad for a 6 year old car! Take care and thanks for doing the build and posting the video here on UA-cam. Jim
You build the real thing better than I can build a model… one question… When you build a shell from scratch, how do you plate it? What VIN number do you assign or where do you get a number from? The number from the destroyed shell? Thank you for posting your work. Simply awesome to watch.
In Louisiana the state troopers will assign a vin if you have all the parts list receipts....if you have a title and old car and use some parts you can use that vin and register conventionaly If it's ALL new parts from scratch the state trooper inspects it and issues a new vin with model year it was finished it will have Mustang fastback on it tho
I love You Tube for anything automotive related and Google found this channel for me. I'm excited to see the process in building a brand new 1st gen Mustang!
I’m looking forward to watching this series build. I have a 65 and 67 fastback that are in pretty good shape. If I could have I would have started with one of your shells. I’ve had mine for some years now and it would have been so much easier just starting off with a fresh shell. Thanks for doing what you do it inspires me to keep working on my cars.
You need a Pro Spot sponsorship. Also you mig these together? And ever considered an old auto robot or cellette frame rack and fixture set? The fixtures set the parts for height,width and length. Frees the brain up and some less stress. Also ever considered nitride/ salt bath on any of the smaller parts? That finish is very popular and growing in the gun industry. It is black and 100 percent covered and will never rust.
I just stumbled onto your channel and it looks like it will be pretty interesting to watch the progress. Is your background in fabrication and what got you started interested in building cars shells?
I owned one, in British Racing Green, with 262 straight six. Buying the body panels is one thing, but that car was built on a frame, which is not readily available.
I’ve got a 1967 mustang fastback that needs most of the sheet metal work done on it, I’d like to have you do the work on it, how much $$$$ would it cost?
I'll watch this for sure because I want to do almost the same but for a notch back, I do have my dads 65 but I cannot modify that one because it is still almost all original. I wish they made parts for those, but this will at least give a good place to see the basics of the build.
Did dynacorn step up and fix the issues with the front fenders.Also if I remember correctly the upper cowel is for a 65 even though it will work on a 66 the difference is the windshield wiper arms require a 65 style bezel.look forward to watching this build
Do you use a jig?I have thought about finding a 65--66 coupe and using the 69 -70 style shock towers and suspension components for a roomier engine bay for a 331 boss based motor.
Where do you find all the correct dimensions of each piece of metal panel fitment specifically front and rear windows? Is there a shop manual or other book with everything?
Interesting business model, selling restored shells. I appreciate an original VIN and not going through the hassles of a re-bodied car. Also like youre not doing the whole custom thing and the hassles with customers.
just a question but say i was to build a shell like this but do body work paint interior and make a legit mustang. how would i go about doing that because these shells don’t have a title or a vin? or do they
Outside of dedicated, stamped-repro pieces like from dynacorn, a metallic-substrate 3-D replicator could make you ANY part from Any car, your heart desires. LOVE the name, bro
Super cool project... how do you get it street legal if it’s build as ‘new’? Do you request a new VIN for the car... sorry - just impressed on the opportunity...
I've done a lot of quarters and floor pans but never to this extent. I'll be following along. Here in Maine there are a lot of cars that could use a Dynacorn floor. I have a 65 fastback and a 67 coupe. The coupe I restored for an auction in April. The 65 I've had for 47 years. I've been watching Vtuned destroy a 66 Coupe. It'll be good to watch someone who knows what he's doing.
I think that the car was fixable the way it was not sure what it is going to look like with the extra with. I think you lose the character of the car.Not sure if he is just winging it as goes along or someone is directing him behind the scenes.
Why not get them directly from ford i know you can buy a complete 1964 1/2 -65 complete body shell but that was like 10 years ago but i dont see why they wouldn’t still have them
Is a newerish inner structure close to any of the 60 70 fast backs...I came across I think it's a 2003 fast back wreck for 500 bucks just wondering if they are close to a classic style.
You know, at one point in time, there was over a million of those on the road. So, having the ability to start with one that's already been built, is a good possibility. Not to mention... You can get them with all the parts on them too. No re-engineering required.
For real 👍Not a dynacorn body? How do you put a VIN on that? I saw a guy use a rusted out 70 Chevelle SS VIN to rebuild another car. What are the rules?
@@petersonrestorations incorrect. The one you build is not a VIN title car so there is no restrictions on a restoration. Just because you exchange every part does not breech any law.
Yeah, that's GREAT, but does dynacorn do any AMC parts, like sheet-metal for 1967-70 or '71-74 2nd-gen Javelin parts? Mustangs & Camaros are SO common. I know the Javelin/AMXs were NOT popular, because of the weak-design of oiling to the V-8 mains which led to PROS like Penske to a dry-sump, and finally, an after-market block [Traco] after nearly two dozen main-bearing failures during the Trans-am series! If it IS a Mustang, though, do you ever channel fenders so that the BORING Mustang front is lowered to where you can See where its come from, but it becomes something RAD like a curved, back-sloping-front on the 240-80s "Z"-cars of Nissin/Datsen, plus could you also do Mustang Coupe-mods to where one ends up with a Ponycar WAGON @ the rear, like Car & Driver &, Pontiac did a couple of times? I understand if the Mustang-front was dropped into a curved, slope to the bumper area, you'd have to go to a lower/slanted/both Buick-type radiator to allow for the slope. Had you ever thought of a fastback removable top [ with/without T-tops ] to put on a Mustang Convertible, where the fast-back rear-glass hinges up, so the regular convertible trunk can easily be accessed? Do you ever lengthen the wheelbase of a Mustang? With another 12" of wheelbase, I'll bet an Olds front-drive unit from a '60s-70s Toranado could put "mid-engine" to a '71-73 Sportsroof 'stang, giving more "bite" to counter its bulk. And the 3-D replicator could give you sheet metal in almost any shape/metal.
@@petersonrestorations I don't want you to have a "hard sell"--that'd take Time from your shells. My "wild ideas" were Only for those that WANTED custom stuff. Looks like you have a "System that Sells for you." If you were selling enough of the shells, a 3-D replicator could make any of the "hard-to-find" parts of those shells. I'm not selling 3-D replicators, but I almost wish I was. A large enough 3-D'll make an exact-copy of any car-part that was ever built, while you're welding-up another shell. I'll book-mark your site to use if I ever need a classic Mustang shell. "Any 'stang is a 100% improvement over its older-Falcon brother" I grew-up with the car, so they're not as special to me like they are to your customers, but I hope you sell all you wish to.
Your decision to use an OEM filler panel between the rear quarters is a good one! The filler panel from Dyancorn is absolutely horrible and you will never get it to fit! I look forward to seeing this go together.
Which piece fits horribly...the trunk filler that sits on top between the rear glass and trunk or the actual rear seat brace that's between the rear seat and trunk. I have that piece from dynacorn is it a good fit?
@@natedawg4997 it is the upper panel that joins the left and right quarter. I bought three from Dynacorn. On the first, the curvature was too flat. The second, the trim molding crease was too shallow and the third was too long. I tried to section the third one, but found a filler off a mustang in Washington State,
I'm not sure why the three were so different. it was as if they were made from different dies. I sent all of them back with the damaged one (rust) off my 65 GT K.
I would love to see a parts list for this build.
Same? And a price of parts
Man how awesome is that!? You pretty much create mustangs out of thin air. 👍🏼👍🏼
Wow this is amazing. A 1965 Mustang Fastback built with brand new parts only :-)
Would love some in depth videos on how you assemble this and how you are measuring. Love your videos and thanks for posting.

This is gonna be a awesome series for sure ! ! !
I just subscribed. Love Fastback Mustangs and a brand new 1st gen being built by a guy who's passionate about these cars, Priceless!

@@petersonrestorations , do you build all of the pieces yourself, as in all of the frame pieces for this vehicle?
I love You Tube for anything automotive related and Google found this channel for me. I'm excited to see the process in building a brand new 1st gen Mustang!
Total car in a box. Nice video.
Wow its like building a 1:1 scale model
If I could afford one...Peterson would be the one I went to. I guess I'll just have to settle with my hot wheels.
Can't wait to see this series.
Thanks for posting these videos. I plan to buy the complete shell and start from there for my GT 500 project.
Are you going to resistance spot weld it like the factory or plug weld it with a mig?

Awesome work you do, keep up the great work
I love your work!!! Keep going!!! ❤️😎
Would be awesome if you can show how you match up the side structure to the floor and how you square it up. And also the roof braces!!!

So cool can’t wait to see it started on
I love Dynacorn. That red oxide "primered' part; we used to call the bulkhead. Good job/
oh wow! my brother smacked into a light pole with one of those in Brooklyn 1979. Question what doner car would fit that shell( trany/diff and engine??
I'm excited to watch the rest of these when I have time. This car is my white whale.
Awesome vid 😎
Very cool. Subscribed.
Thank you!!
Just came across your channel, subscribed and enjoying your content. Cheers mate.
Thanks I appreciate it
I just stumbled onto your channel and it looks like it will be pretty interesting to watch the progress. Is your background in fabrication and what got you started interested in building cars shells?
I worked at cj pony parts in high school, and my dad had a 66 fastback since I was born
Peterson Restorations your old man has great tastes in mustangs! Thank you for the reply.
Amazing...
Awsome !!:)
how did you learn how to build cars this way were you an autobody tech, books, or any other materials.
Went to vo-tech for auto mechanics and happened to work at a restoration shop right out of high school where I learned a lot
I owned one, in British Racing Green, with 262 straight six. Buying the body panels is one thing, but that car was built on a frame, which is not readily available.
Paul Moffat I thought the mustangs were all unibodies with a front subframe
So these hulks you buy your basically buying the vin and plates right (the identity?) Otherwise it would be a replica?
I have a 69 coupe. To convert it to fastback can I only buy the frame with rear quarter panels on? I will use front clip and door from the coupe....
I’ve got a 1967 mustang fastback that needs most of the sheet metal work done on it, I’d like to have you do the work on it, how much $$$$ would it cost?
I'll watch this for sure because I want to do almost the same but for a notch back, I do have my dads 65 but I cannot modify that one because it is still almost all original. I wish they made parts for those, but this will at least give a good place to see the basics of the build.
I stumbled over this and im looking for replacement parts,
tech. original drawings & parts for prior mid 80's japanese cars.
Sorry but I specialize in mustangs. Wish I could help
Where can I find info regarding purchasing on of your Fastback projects
Did dynacorn step up and fix the issues with the front fenders.Also if I remember correctly the upper cowel is for a 65 even though it will work on a 66 the difference is the windshield wiper arms require a 65 style bezel.look forward to watching this build
I believe so, I haven't had any issues with fenders yet
Do you use a jig?I have thought about finding a 65--66 coupe and using the 69 -70 style shock towers and suspension components for a roomier engine bay for a 331 boss based motor.
Isn't making whole '65 body shells?
You have to build one for your self completely finish it as a channel car
How are you going to tag it as a mustang
any lawyer can get you a q code vin. What I did was pay for a 69 scj that was way beyond restoring for 10 k and "rebuild " it
Where do you find all the correct dimensions of each piece of metal panel fitment specifically front and rear windows? Is there a shop manual or other book with everything?
It's all from measurements I've taken over the past 14 years
Interesting business model, selling restored shells. I appreciate an original VIN and not going through the hassles of a re-bodied car. Also like youre not doing the whole custom thing and the hassles with customers.
Iv done a few my self and still cant find a good fender for the 1968 mustang . The one from dynacorn was trash . I am also a Dynacorn Dealer .
Would be nice if u do a 67 cougar pretty much same car I'm looking for one
I want to make a solid assembly in solid works.
What you using for a VIN number
It's up to the customer
How much does it cost to buy and ship every body panel on a 65 Fastback?
Is it cheaper to piece together a car like this versus buying a whole new shell?
For me yes, I do these to sell
just a question but say i was to build a shell like this but do body work paint interior and make a legit mustang. how would i go about doing that because these shells don’t have a title or a vin? or do they
you can apply for.a q title or buy a pos stang and go that route
I didnt know that making one by hand was possible. I didnt know that all the parts were obtainable.
Outside of dedicated, stamped-repro pieces like from dynacorn, a metallic-substrate 3-D replicator could make you ANY part from Any car, your heart desires. LOVE the name, bro
What would you register it as ? New or old.....
I leave that for the buyer
I see boxes are marked weld thru primer but you seem to grind it anyhow, why is that ?
Because the weld through on it is not so good and really pops the weld
Maybe you can make a site with pictures, bills of materials drawings and assembly.
If I had any free time maybe but for now I just have to focus on building
Super cool project... how do you get it street legal if it’s build as ‘new’? Do you request a new VIN for the car... sorry - just impressed on the opportunity...
I go through a process to keep the car titled
Peterson Restorations why? You mentioned you in the beginning of the video you scrapped one, why not use that vin number?
@@Mark-vn7et that is what I mean, to keep it titled as a 65
I would avoid the “E” word if I was you...
Anyone have an idea of how much it would cost to buy ALL the parts needed to build a shell like this? I know you can buy a complete D
How much is a 67-68 fastback shell and price for rolling chassis? I don't have social media. Tried finding your website but couldn't find one
Roughly between 22,500-25,000 currently
New videos coming

Hi, have you done a coupe shell? can you get the parts, Thanks,
Yes they make every piece for a coupe as well
anyone know good companys like this for first gen z's
How do u get titles for an all new still body?
Q title
What's the cost with original or modified as reproduction
How do you buy the shell parts
I have a wholesale account
Is it legal in US to do that kind of thing?
Yes many companies sell just shells
it has been legal since forever. You can build anything and title it and.put on road as.long as it meets DOT. I had a wood body hotrod titled.
Why not get them directly from ford i know you can buy a complete 1964 1/2 -65 complete body shell but that was like 10 years ago but i dont see why they wouldn’t still have them
