I can appreciate the patience you have when the pieces and holes don't match up, I glad I'm not videoed because I haven't gotten my tongue under the control I'm striving for. Your setting a fine example Barry, just thought I'd mention because its noticed.
It is amazing how the pieces for one side fit better than the opposite side. The car is coming along great. Your experience and knowledge are priceless. I wish I had had these videos twenty years ago..
It looks really nice so far, I'd be more than happy with that !! It's gotta be so satisfying when you make it all fit together like it's supposed to, it does for me !!
haven't checked in for a while but just came across this as I'm contemplating doing the rear lower quarters on my 72 Mach 1 over winter. Have to say, this was really informative, you explain and detail the process really well so thank you and I shall go back and watch the series now. Repro panels hey, they make you earn every penny in time and effort. keep it up and you'll get there !
We had to do the same thing with the bumper brackets. We had to drill them off and weld them back on. On the decklid towards to bottom, we found that the quarter panel was “bulged” causing it to tighten up like that.
A lot of very valuable information shared in this video. Thank you. anxiously awaiting to see what you were going to do with your mock one when the time comes
Looks tight and right as always, great work Barry! I didn’t know you could buy the crush tubes for the exhaust mounts, I made my own for my 65 GT coupe frame rail replacements. 👍👍👍
Just a thought about the exhaust hanger insert. Have you thought of just inserting tube stock through the openings and welding the ends to the rail? It would provide enough support and you won't have to cut the floor open.
I've been following this car from the beginning, as I am currently doing a rotisserie restoration on my 69 Mach 1. Something I'd really like to see in this project is a comprehensive video on aligning the doors, fenders, and hood. Lots of videos on 65-68 but very little on 69 and 70. The front fender alignment is what's really killing me. Aside from the top bolts, there's a couple of bolts under the fender, one that apparently requires spacers (lots of room before contact) and one inside the fender running horizontally. I'm really struggling aligning all this. There must be some order to it that I'm just not picking up on. Love the videos, Jo! Thank you!!!
Thought I had all the stars (and panels) aligned when I welded up the back end of my 67 Cougar. Went to install the trunk lid and found out the passenger side extension has a large gap at the bottom relative to the trunk lid that fits fine everywhere else. Guess I'll have to bust who knows how many welds out of all my new sheet metal and try to rock the bottom of the quarter panel in about a quarter of an inch along with everything else to make the trunk gap parallel in the area...
@JoDaddysGarage Just a thought on the crush sleeves for the muffler bracket area. It might be worth considering drilling the inner and outer holes in the frame rails oversized to slide a chrome moly sleeve into the frame and flush weld and grind smooth rather than cutting up the trunk pan to access the top of the frame rail to install a crush sleeve from within the cavity.
The car is coming together very well sir thank for sharing this build with us. I can't find the link for the welder I'm not sure where to look or not that good with you tube
Late to the video but I have a Question on my 66 doing the rear corner extension notice that my tail lights panel has a slight bow so does my trunk lid is this normal? Thank you love your videos.
The Slithered is coming along.
Thanks for saving these old rats.. great job 👍👍

Looks really nice Barry!
A wizard from "the house of Slitherin" with tools and experience and a willingness to teach by example. Way to go
really coming along , you are so lucky to have the other car to reference from
It is amazing how the pieces for one side fit better than the opposite side. The car is coming along great. Your experience and knowledge are priceless. I wish I had had these videos twenty years ago..
good to see the videos coming! THANK YOU JO!
She is coming along very nicely sir. I continued to be impressed.
It looks really nice so far, I'd be more than happy with that !!

That's great work Barry, really.
That is a great use of an old boat trailer

Great job
little work and it is fitting great nice video
Also, nice touches to the time lapse, haha😂

Great Cover Shot,Rule of thumb was funny
Very good job doing this bucket of old car. Thanks for the learning experience.
Thanks for showing the details, very helpful information.
A lot of very valuable information shared in this video. Thank you. anxiously awaiting to see what you were going to do with your mock one when the time comes
As much as we all hate trimming I'd rather have material to trim off then have to add to it.
Great job Berry
Great detailed work!

Just a thought about the exhaust hanger insert. Have you thought of just inserting tube stock through the openings and welding the ends to the rail? It would provide enough support and you won't have to cut the floor open.
I had thought of that. I would have to enlarge the hole and access is limited.
Coming along nicely 👌

I will have videos on that later.

Hi buddy I have a 67 xr7 cougar s code all outside body panels are original but I have to change all floor pans
Looking great super great work you are doing
Excellent video.
What would you like to discuss.
gluing the fender edge
No. It will be welded.

I thought of that but access is limited. Can’t get a drill in there.
Coming along nice!
When we were kids we did models, now we put the pieces together for real cars. We are just big kids.🤪
The car is coming together very well sir thank for sharing this build with us. I can't find the link for the welder I'm not sure where to look or not that good with you tube
Look at the box below the video. Should say “read more”
OK I will check it out thank you sir
Thank you I found it. I witch your channel on my phone so I had it turned the wrong way lol thank you for your help.
Your doing a very good job I'm working on my 67 cougar body parts very clean all original I'm doing all new floor pans have u ever worked on a cougar
I haven’t done much work on a cougar.
I would like to know the model and where you purchased your pneumatic punch.
Link to Amazon in the description.
@@JoDaddysGarage Thank you1 Ordered!
Late to the video but I have a Question on my 66 doing the rear corner extension notice that my tail lights panel has a slight bow so does my trunk lid is this normal?
Thank you love your videos.
Yes. They have a bow. Look up my Mystique series for more details.
you got your work cut out for you fitting that mess , but if anyone can do it you can
Sorry, couldn't resist commenting while watching. I'm 1st!!!
By the way. Looking good. Your attention to detail is second to no one.
You’re not out of the woods yet (but I know you’ll figure it out!)
I believe you are looking for precision that just isn’t there.
It’s never there until we make it happen.
What a sexy looking beast
Great work Joe Daddy!
