That '66 is really in good shape! My suggestion: you be you. It's your car, your choice of what you want it to be. I'm just gonna sit right back, keep hitting the "like" button, and enjoying the show!😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I can get a lil wild sometimes lol
The 2 cats pretty much explained women right there. they're both getting fed. They're both fine but they hate each other. They don't know why they hate each other, but they hate each other.
Absolutely
😎
The intruding cat had an negative opinion with the Mustang on cinder blocks. Daisy wasn't having any of it and was defending your garage. lol
Roadkill has done the patina junk driver car to death. Just fix it right and show how you do it
Agreed with the junk patina, my thought version is a little different and hard to really explain.
My patina 1986 GMC S-15 is being painted as I type this. Totally agree..
I think doing this project as a compare and contrast to the hack job is a great idea. Love to see a 347, QA1 suspension canyon carver with this project
Anything is possible at this point.
Given it's already disassembled, I'd have the chassis dipped to eat the remaining rust. Nice chassis to start a project with given its a Mustang
This! Definitely have it dipped before you start building it back, give yourself a good foundation. Before you make any hard decisions on your end goal, spend your time doing one of the things you do well - give it a great body. If you want to keep with the honest theme then leave it as a coupe. Given the blank canvas that it is you might as well update the brakes and suspension with one of the excellent modern systems. Since you are keeping this on a modest budget, no reason to go too nuts on the drivetrain - just a simple healthy 347 and a 5 speed manual trans. If it were mine I would install a/c so that it could be enjoyed all the time.
I wish I had the money to have you redo it for me. I want : wembledon white, red interior, under-dash air, 6 cylinder, 3 speed stick, and handling suspension. Oh, with that bench seat.
Nice honest car nobody has been cutting n welding that didn't know what they were doing ncute kitty lol
@@earlmenefee3421 definitely better then a halfway dolled up car and sometimes less work in the end
... I agree with some other comments fastback conversion.. it's a Solid piece to work with.. maybe fastback with a 6 cil 4 barrel and a 5 speed
Here you can do the fastback conversion you wanted to do with the red one. Restore it, paint it Wimbleton White, then do the blue center stripe. Keep the 6, but supercharge it!!!
Definitely a thought
I agree, it's a good find. I think it would be best if you just restore it for the most part. I'd upgrade the brake system to a dual reservoir disc brake vehicle. I saw on another channel for an aftermarket front suspension that eliminated the shock tower. You probably have heard of this modification, but maybe this would be more than you'd like to do to with this car? In any case I'll definitely be following along with this new project.
@@DonaldDolph-ob8yv I had a nice aje strut conversion in my old maverick. Anything at this point is possible for this car
Good to see your security cat gave it the seal of approval.
She is a good one
Definitely a good body on that Mustang.
Piece of cake for you!
@@RMINTZELL just some work away
Nice score! Congrats!
Thanks!
Love this guy a real great sense humour and has a great skill.probably can’t weld a sows ear to a piece of plywood..😊
@@jackbrydges7673 thanks
Maybe go a mild rebuild to factory codes and a Ford Barra from here. 😊
I wish they were more plentiful here
My first car was a 66 convertible mustang bought in 72 for 900 bucks it was in excellent condition I loved it
Very cool
Like those headlight bezels. Car is good find. Good idea to bring another mustang to the channel. Would like to see the car brought back to original OEM stock condition.
Anything is possible with it
wow...Tennessee? Where bouts in Tennessee? I'm in Cedar Grove TN. So many directions with that clean slate mustang...To many patina rigs. maybe just a clean sleaper ride with modern upgrades....maybe a 302 thumper. I'd go so far as to say a 70's paint job. maybe some huge metal flakes...old school cragers...maybe a custom stripe....kinda like the starsky torino stripe.....but there I go thinking again...LOL Have a good one. Great video as usual. Shalom.
In over in Cleveland
Gaser build with the inline six turbo charger lol definitely turn some heads for sure
It's a blank canvas
@HotRodGuyGarage most definitely you will come with something with all the ideas been passed on to you
Excellent buy make fun driver no chevy motor please lol cheers 🥂 😊
No plans to do a GM swap
@@HotRodGuyGarage excellent keep it real
😎
You're NOT kidding about that 1966 Mustang being a better builder vs the 1965(!)
For sure
I like your original thoughts of making it into an SCCA replica race car.
It could be cool if done right
@@HotRodGuyGarage Absolutely! 👍
@@HotRodGuyGarage AGREED
I think that '66 Mustang would have been the perfect donor car for that '65 Mustang ('65 MESStang)! Nice score! I think you should make it a nice daily driver with a small block or go with original inline 6 Cylinder.
It would had definitely been a better base
Great buy. Is that all you got or did it come with a pile of parts. I hope you at least got the front suspension and the rear axle. :) Cant wait until that series starts.
What you see is what I got , someone's abandoned project it seems
Patina is a bit played out, you have skills make it a nice vintage race themed street racer.
I think it could be cool , I went and looked at a tube ministock chassis earlier but it was a bit out of my range
Fast back conversation
As an Aussie I'd love to see a turbo barra between the shock towers, maybe set up for the quarter mile mate!
I wish they were cheaper to get over here!
A Cleveland in it with a stick and the old times stock car look would be real cool
Could be cool
I been watching but I have subscribed to watch this project. What part of TN are you in? I'm near Carter county.
Bradley county
No bad.
It's a pretty good old car compared to most I've seen for 4x the price
I'd like to see it as a stock daily driver, maybe with a "sleeper" drive train (289 HIPO or 390) since you are into that. Whatever, it should be interesting. Thanks.
@@robertcrawford7052 it's a possibility being as bare as it is it can literally turn into anything
If you want to go conservative w/ the cash: later 250 motor, 3 spd w/ od, Ate in rear, 5 lug drum brakes unless you enjoy roadcourse braking for the street.
Budget is always a concern
I would make a nice driver with a mild small block with a Holley or FiTech fuel injection. Rack and pinion, T5, coil overs, nine inch rear 3.73 gears. GT resto clone with proper 66 stripes and GT exhaust valance. Red!
Good thoughts
Daisy gives it two meows!😺
She is a talker
FB conversion time.
Maybe slightly outside my budget which is considerably small
@@HotRodGuyGarage where theres a will,there is a way.Do live streams and hold out your hat.Theres no shame in it.Its CONTENT!have a Pay Pall set up for yourself.I'll donate to that project and I'm sure others would.Car comunity is usually supportive.
I would make it into a gt350 race tribute.
Possibly a thought
Seems UA-cam has themes going all the time. Right now it getting old beaters running and trying to drive them home. Which is cool, in a way...lol. And as been posted, the popular patina cars look more like people just don't want to bother with bodywork and paint.
You do seem to like "different" and that's really cool, with your skills it would be an awesome project to watch you convert to a "67-68" fastback roof! Really interesting how it's done for us, and that would really be an attention getter...
I do like different, sometimes to the point others don't lol
I need that tach
Be cool to see one of the new inline 6 motors from ford and turbo it. 🤔
Be cool with a barra
@@HotRodGuyGarage yeahh that's the name I was looking for. Yessir
If you seen vecors series on the convertible 66 to 2015 chassis and driveline maybe something along those lines
Interesting fact the inner rocker width is the same as a fox body
As good as u are I’d put a great drivetrain n redo the body stick 👍👍👍👍
Right on
Fast back conversion time
Possible
The motor mount brackets are V8.
I'd say it was swapped sometime in its life
WOW!!! I see lots of green underneath that car, and you call that normal??? I wouldn't touch one of those cars with a twenty foot foot pole!
@@glenfenderman floor rust in them is normal
@@HotRodGuyGarage I think it depends where the car has lived most of it's life. I have a '66 Barracuda that spent all it's life in the south part of Alberta, Canada where I live, and that thing was almost rust free when I bought it because of the hot summers, and because of the fact that this area doesn't use salt on the roads in the winter time. It also helped that the previous owners put rust proofing underneath the car. Where the car has been sitting for decades has a bearing; If the car was sitting on pavement most of it's life, that will reduce the risk of floor rot, whereas, if the car has been sitting on dirt for decades, that will increase the risk of floor rot.
@@glenfenderman absolutely depends on where and how it's been treated over the years.
My choice would be restore it.
Always a thought
I have a 72 grabber hood that has rust would appreciate getting a estimate or if your interested in doing the work?
Depending on how bad the rust is it maybe more cost effective to do a amd repo grabber hood
Old track car theme would be cool!
I thought so
Will it run videos are getting boring. How about will it run right n be reliable. Mind-blowing concept.
@@apocolypse11 hard to do will it run videos when it has nothing in it 😆
@@HotRodGuyGarage that don't let fred Flintstone stop him.
Umm, you've got the body, but you only need the engine and transmission, all the running gear, the suspension and brakes, the fuel system, the brake system, the wiring system, the exhaust system. Have I missed anything? Wheels!
Are you absolutely sure that you have VIN and title?
If so, you have the makings of a $30,000 car -- the trouble is, you will need at least $20,000 in parts!
I've started with less before
@@HotRodGuyGarage But do you have VIN and title?
I've got a vin and paperwork
@HotRodGuyGarage That’s the most important part 😉
You don't own a power washer?
That I do not
Turn it into a fastback and make it a roller and flip it for cash.
Anything is possible
Agree. Hotrodguy has the skills. Plus, fighting the law of diminishing returns getting a car this far gone back on the road probably isn't worth it.
@@bryanpiereson8083 it will definitely take a donor car to make it feasible
Re-sell it to someone that will fix it right.
That's what the last guy did
Scrap it
Never it would take something really bad for me to scrap it
@@HotRodGuyGarage mustangs are the most boring muscle car and not all that special huge amounts made , sorry but l feel they are overrated , glorified falcon
I consider mustangs and Camaros as pony cars and I agree they made a ton of them
@@HotRodGuyGarage yes some Camaro's look rubbish Mustangs look common , there for can you see yourself doing something different
