Moving along nicely. Please build it for you or your idea's. Love the amazing talent.
Looking forward to this build, who doesn't like a 70 Boss
I like how you keep everything super clean and organized!
Organization is key
Yeah totally amazed at what you can bring back to life and how effortlessly you make it look.
I am a die hard restore to factory specs kind of guy but in this case....100% agree on the resto-mod. Great choices in drive train and small cosmetic changes tightening up the design. Two things: It's your car and our wallets are not involved. So, I say this is going to be a legendary Boss 302 when you are done!
Super excited to see this build. I am the 4th owner of an original 70 Boss, and originality is super-important for these IF that’s what your goal is. I like the idea you are pursuing, especially the Coyote/6spd upgrade. Also better suspension and brakes will make it super-fun to drive.
I can’t tell you how happy I am you went this direction. I believe a car tells you how it wants to be built. It would be one thing if it had the original drive line. With its current condition, I think you are spot on. It keeps the heritage and still is all “boss 302” just from the entire lineage. Great job.
Resto mod is the way to go, when the car didn’t come with a driveline. It wouldn’t be number matching so why not resto mod it.
Under these circumstances I am inclined to agree. Once one locates an increasingly rare original engine, already a very costly endeavor, we havent even gotten into the very costly rebuild that such an old Boss 302 engine is likely to require. The Boss 302 is not an off the shelf 302 but a very specialized V8 Ford built for only a few model years. Very poor performance value for what's certain to be a five figure rebuild. Best bet is to locate a Coyote crate engine, and source either a six speed manual or six speed automatic. Way better value than trying to restore a fifty year old drivetrain. Just my $3.02 (pun intended)
I agree. I have a 69 z28, when I found it didn't have the original drivetrain. I'm doing a LS Twin turbo setup rack and pinion and big brakes.
My sentiments exactly!
At this point the car is essentially a clone or “Tribute Car” in today’s terms. Resto mod or save your money and find a Boss 302 in better condition.
This guy is very talented I'm not a Ford guy but he definitely knows what he's doing I think he does excellent work I've never seen it in person but I do watch his videos quite a bit can't wait to see the Mustang when it's done the Boss 302 Mustang that is
Thank you, and thanks for watching
Without a doubt, this is the best thing on the InterWebs. You're doing the Lord's work and saving these cars lol. Great stuff
I wouldn't exactly call it the Lord's work 😂
Lord's work, love it. 🤣
👍🏻 Looking forward to the Boss build
Sounds great 👍👍
I agree that restomod is the way to go. Can't wait to see you start this one. 69-70 was one of my fav years for Mustang.
I like the plan with no exceptions. Should be a great ride
For those of us that have followed you for a long time, we know it will be perfection in the end.
The 70 Boss is my favorite as I drove one in 1973 as well as 69 fastback 351 oh how I miss them , looking forward to this coming together
I'm 100% concours in mindset, but this is the proper candidate for a restomod build. If you'd not rescued it, in another 10 years or so, it'd be an unsalvagable hulk. When I lose my mind is when a very nice original car gets hacked up. God speed on this one...
I Looking forward to see more of the Boss build👍🤓👍
Looking forward to following this build. Glad you are keeping it yellow!
I'm really going to enjoy being able to see all you give us on this one. I'll be watching every vid start to finish young guy! Bring that girl to life and up to date. Knoxville TN
Thanks!!
Brother you rock. Thanks for taking us along.
Just getting introduced to you and your skills. I am a real journeyman body and paint plus custom painting tech. 40 years in the field. I have owned a 69 mach 1 428 car. With that being said I decided time and money to build for myself would have stretched me very very thin. A long time friend wanted the car and saw the vision. In my shop I have used it to fill in and have also spent weeks in it. It's a resto mod..4 link rack, coil over assy. Lots of small body mod.. 5.4 out of a 07 cobra. I totally understand what you are up against and are doing. Total respect
Excited to see this car come together!
Glad you decided to keep the yellow. When i was in senior high my neighbor bought a brand new Boss 302 in yellow with the window louvers , I loved that car.!
Love it, it's going to be epic!
OCD makes for a clean shop and perfect gaps. Enjoy your channel.
Perfect plan! Awesome shop!
My favorite year mustang, the lines are perfection in my opinion. Can’t wait to see the work as it progresses
Build'm to Drive'm we think 👌 Look'n forward to this build 💪💪
I personally would have went with a more stock resto but seeing as the entire drivetrain is missing I can’t blame you for coyote swapping. I look forward to this build
Cut the front fenders like they did in the Trans Am racing series. Makes the front end look lower, but to most people they won't realize why. Your build plan sounds GREAT too!!
Can't wait should look good
Really like the plan , will be watching it unfold ! Don’t miss any of your procedures on tape ! Can’t wait...
So Glad you decided on a Resto Mod...!!! Can't wait to see it evolve to a finished Boss 302!!!!👍👍👍
I'm a Stang fan and if it was mine, I would have went completely original but that's me. Can't wait t see your vision come to life. Until the next one, stay safe.
GREAT JOB!! I LOVE HOW YOU DO YOUR BUILDS!!
You are an exceptionally talented automobile restorer and you exhibit a very high degree of insight and logic. Deciding to "resto-mod" this Mustang is a very logical and realistic undertaking. My thoughts are, based on what you had to work with from the start, it could potentially be a very deep "Rabbit hole" you might find yourself going down if you chased the "numbers matching" restoration theme, not to mention how long it can take. I know you have your ways and means of locating much of the original missing parts, but that can easily turn into a very long and frustrating "hunt" for all of the original parts.
Saying all of that, I am now pretty convinced that your decision to "Resto-mod" this Mustang is both logical, strategic and somewhat cost based, along with being a long time desire of what you envisioned of building from a "clean slate" if you will. My thoughts on this reside right in line with yours...👍🏼🙂
Looking forward to seeing a full build. Good plan.
I look forward to seeing this build !
We all know what a stock Mustang looks like. Couldn’t be more excited to see your description of the custom project you described!
Love the new 302 with old school body idea. Can’t wait to see it!
Major props to you for the work you do! Can't wait to see the progress.
Thanks for posting. While I would probably never take on a project of this extent it is good to know that it can be done and more importantly how to do it.
This is great! You are building it exactly like I was hoping and how I would do it. It is like you read my mind. Really looking forward to seeing this build!
Awesome, great choice! Can't wait to follow along! You da mustang man!!
Looking forward to this one, it's gonna be a nice project. 👍👍👍
Glad to hear you're going to do a full build on this one - can't wait! I can tell you're excited about finally doing one your way. Go for it!!
Sounds great. A Boss in a Boss. Perfect.
Looking forward to the build Ben! #savingtherustbuckets
Like everything you talked about except cutting the drip rails!👍
So far a killer project, esp with the updated driveline, suspension, etc. Love the subtle exterior updates and keeping the interior mostly stock. Hopefully the steering wheel as well to stick with the stock sleeper theme. Good luck.
That will be a real Cool 70 BOSS. Steelies and the dog dish poverty caps and rings or Magnums ? Spoilers and slats too ! Given all your previous cars I'm sure it will be spot on.
I am thrilled to see you go the restomod route. Kindigit just finished 2 builds using the Roadster Shop chassis. I think you should look into their Spec chassis as it is a bolt in application for the Mustang body. Gives you the four link coil overs and rack and pinion all in one package. Every thing lines up perfectly. Looking forward to this build.
They are a bit out of my price range or I would
Had a new 69 Boss 302 which I traded in on a 72 Toyota Celia due to gas crunch and an addition on a daughter. Always loved that car. In 1982 I found a 70 Boss 302 and owned until I relocated in 2007 to Oregon. Don't know what you paid for your project but my 69 was about $4,000 and my 70 was $10,000. Sold it for $42,000 and all of a sudden my wife loved that the Grabber Orange turned in green$. Still have a special place in my heart. Look forward to your progress.
looking forward to this build!
That sounds like a great plan !
Like all that your doing. Upgrades along with engine and trans sounds great but expensive. Will tune in for future pics.
Definitely happy to see you go the restomod route. That Coyote 5.0 swap will be awesome.
Simply a fkn MAZING how you can take that shell back into an actual car again. Mad props chief !
Restomod, Great choice !! Really looking forward to this build! Super cool way to showcase your talent. New Magnum 500 wheels?!?! Hopefully your parts suppliers see the skills you have and back you all the way!
The years of experience needed to know how all those little panels and brackets fit together, so as to figure out ahead of time, the cuts on which panels to make the one inch drop amazes me. I only wish you could swap out a '69 front clip for the '70, I think the quad lights are more suited to this car (I still like the '70 rear)
You are a amazing guy
Resto mod is an awesome choice!
Don't forget the new 7.3 crate motor......... wink wink....... nudge nudge......
Looking forward to your build. I love the Coyote, and since the original driveline is gone, its seems to be a great idea
Subscribed. Looking forward to the build
Love your ideas on this build! Study the factory exhaust the 2012 BOSS 302, or drive one. I was able to drive the 2012 Boss and IMO the sound was incredible!! Great channel, can't wait till you get this one done.
Right on! Looking forward to the build. Who doesn’t like a 70 boss! Coyote is the way to go. Not in my budget but should be a nice driver.
So glad you're keeping the third pedal, and a six speed (Tremec?) at that. Not crazy about returning it to yellow, though. Satin black? Cool blue? Anything but resale red.
Yellow and satin black
Looking forward to this. Regards from Ireland
Excited already
I’m super excited to see this series! It’s going to be an awesome journey
Awesome 👍 another great video of putting a great car back together thanks for taking time to let us watch, I live in Pa also would love nothing more than to come see your collection.
Awesome 👌
Love that 69 70 model Mustangs that's the way to go restomod
Your plan is exactly the direction I had in mind when you first showed it. We had a 69 on craigslist not long ago that had less parts than yours, guy wanted 8,500 for it. Never looked to hard at it, already have two project cars, don't need another!
I'm so lookin forward to this, your such an artist what ever you do will be perfect, thanks
great idea! waiting for new videos!!! Good luck)
perfection as always
Really looking forward to this build! Restromod is the way to go when a car is this far removed from original.
Resto is a lot of fun, did a 65 notch back 5.0 T5 cold air induction. filled in the radiator core support opening with polished aluminum, which I thought was pretty cool when I saw what you were doing with your apron covers.
Such a great plan combining the new inside the old. I like the 70 style second behind a 65 fastback, but only because my Dad had a 65. I hope to build a similar restomod 65 fastback eventually, but not until after I retire. Might have to hit you up if you are still doing the shells then! Looking forward to seeing it progress.
Can't wait to see the finish product. Would also like to see you ditch that Nike sweatshirt and wear a Peterson one.
Looking forward to this build as I would love to something similar one day.
Everything I was hoping you'd do you're doing it. 1000 thumbs up! Next comes the the 50 million questions of 'is it for sell afterwards' and 'how much. 🤔
Sounds like a good plan mate. Probably would of been scrapped anyway.
Looking forward to it.
Sweet! With the original engine gone, may as well make a restomod. Lots of stock restored Bosses out there.
I love this build!
Love the idea of putting in a coyote. The 2012-2013 boss 302s had a souped up version of the coyote called the roadrunner. It would be super cool if you can find one of those and put it in.
Can’t wait to see the completed car.
VERY interesting!
I've just stumbled on your channel & saw you dismantle that car with the plasma cutter!
I'll be watching the build until you finish it! 👍👍
Sounds like a good project.
If,, If the car was complete with the driveline then it should be restored to original.
No drivetrain, It need everything anyway, Plus it is your car and you are saving it.
That is what matters, awesome idea and cant wait to see it unfold
Thanks for the update. What about independent suspension ?
Ifs will be I stalled
Have you looked at hotchkis even though it’s not coil over? Price is good on the TVs2 package. I’m looking at that and control freak suspensions too for my 70 Mach.
cool project Ben! Please show the process for getting the 6 speed to fit. I'd like to see how you modify the tunnel...
Looking forward to see how it turns out
Be exciting to see the progress especially with Coyote Boss 302 clone motor
I have to admit. I just stumbled across your videos this morning. And I thought you were nuts. But then as I have been watching them today I take that back. You are very talented. It is nice to see the old Mustangs you save and bring back so they can hit the road again. And as long as you don't have the stock drivetrain a coyote with the Boss 302 intake and a 6 speed will be a nice modern upgrade.
Thanks for watching
@@petersonrestorations I enjoyed watching a bunch of your videos. And I subscribed .I'm Looking forward to watching more.
I have done a few here in the Netherlands , always fun to do :) .
Awesome
Old original cars are cool...but most aren't very good cars to drive. Resto-mod ftw.
