Nice! I really like the door stabilizer brackets. They should hold everything in place while you do the repairs. This is a great idea for my future 67/68 fastback build.
I love the fact that you’ve gone to the trouble of making those lovely door jig frames to use on all of your shell work. You are the consummate craftsman. Big respect young man, live long and prosper 🖖
Thank you so much for showing us the entire build. To see these Mustangs brought back from the dead means a lot to those of us who love these old cars, and a Shelby build is that much more special. Love to watch you work. You are a true professional. Thanks again.
That book you have of measurements was that information that you’ve gathered over the years or is that something someone can purchase from some where ?
@petersonrestorations I’m about ready to have my 68 Mustang convertible blasted and then the body work begins. I’m concerned about braving up the car correctly since it’s a convertible: do you have any recommendations, or videos you’d advise on watch? Lastly where can I get the door supports you use? If it’s diy do you have the measurements?
Hi Peterson, when you’re building a restored or a restoration is there a certain percentage of the original body that “has to be retained” to continue to use the original Vin number?
I am guessing as long as you have the original title and vin number plate, you could rebuild just about anything. I am not sure what the law is on Re- Riveting the Vin Plate but if you have the metal or top cowl anything is possible
Ok. I know there's a Madness to the know how. What you do scares me. The measurements or after the floor plan was installed. Doesn't matter. Love what you do.
Amazing how much metal isn’t left from the original vehicles. Usually when I weld up my out rockers I use a 24 inch level just to make sure I’m true, helps me with lining up the doors on the bottom, I always struggle lining up doors.. didn’t see you use one but maybe I missed it
I need to start saving my money or hit the lottery for the Fastback and have you do the one piece floor/frame rail assembly and the rest of the front structure.
Are there no six-cylinder fastbacks left anymore because everyone is restomodding 390 cars? There must be one 390 car that is stock left in the world. Just curious. Love your work and video.
Ben's building this for me, and it's going to be period correct 1967 Shelby GT500 inside and outside. We're using modern suspension and brakes, plus a beefed up motor and driveline, but from 5 feet you'll not know if it's a replica or real.
I'm not sure what the exact laws are.....but it's to bad you cannot just start with a brand new everything......new frame rails, new floor, new A & B pillars, new inner structure...basically just start with new everything and do your fitting and welding of ALL new sheet metal....then just transfer the VIN from the old rusty car, to the new sheet metal car you just welded together and made.
Make yourself a Christmas list of all the big parts that you need , plan a vac to cali. With the wife of course and save yourself the shipping cost of the big parts. They charge for each individual part. Roof, floor, quarters etc. good luck. Works for me all the time.
Same!!! All tho the clean bar is nice and simple it takes away from the sexy curved taillight panel, speaking of shelby styled stuff i hate Eleanor front bumper and the bug eyes they have.
Nothing better than getting a video notification from Peterson Restorations!

No matter how many Mustangs I see you rebuild, I’ll keep watching. Excited to see the “start to finish” process instead of just the shell repair.
So glad your back like u said. Just can't get enough of watching your skills. Your videos are lovely. Thanks.

Watching from sunny Spain looks a great program to watch good luck
Great build...!!! Planning to watch every minute of it. Can't wait to the finished car...!!👍
Thanks for watching!!
Watching you fit in the new pieces and rocker panels and telling how to measure thumbs up 👍.
looking forward to seeing the build of this mustang. Glad you are back doing the updates again.
Amazing talent, wish I could afford one of your builds😊

Your skills are amazing! Love to watch these classic's get saved, and not hacked like so many others do.
Good to have you back 👍👍👍
as always the man is a craftsman ..great job young man
you make it look easy, your experience and skill are great to learn from. thank you for sharing!
Glad to see another project. Love the tips along the way. Thanks
Good tips. Can't take enough measurements.
Your an amazing fabricator, I just wish that we had all the repair panels for old Holdens here in Australia also I wish I had half your skills!
This is my new favorite channel
What an amazing skill. Looking forward to seeing the resurrected Fastback.
Keep up the the good work. Wish I could do what you do.
Your doing a great job!!!
Thanks for sharing the build 👍
You make this understandable...to a non body guy that is something. Thanks for letting us voyeurs see your trade! Subscribed!
Nice job. Looking forward to following this build.
i learn so much watching you sir. you da man!!!!! keep up the great work!!!
This is going to be great look forward to the next one 👍
More fine work, can’t wait to see the Shelby copy completed.
Cool, glad to see your new videos, keep them coming they are very educational.
Awesome! Glad you’re back!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Welcome back...I guess you have to earn a living too!
Nice to see experience at work! You tend to do so much of this from habit. Looking forward to the build.
Love your videos you are a Craftsman
You are a artist 😃
Check with PRO Spot, on a loan or demo of a spot welder so you can duplicate the original factory spot welds. You will need 220volts.
Do you use weld through primer ,I do a lot , you Need to,to seal those panels from early corosian ,.
Man, you weren't kid'n... 2 vids in 2 days. LOL \m/
That book you have of measurements was that information that you’ve gathered over the years or is that something someone can purchase from some where ?
How much can be replaced and still considered repaired vs. rebodied, Since the aprons will be new. what about the VIN?

Hi Peterson, when you’re building a restored or a restoration is there a certain percentage of the original body that “has to be retained” to continue to use the original Vin number?
i would like to know as well cause i have a boss that could be restored with enough metal anything can be but its def not original at that point
Or buy a new body from dynacorn?
I am guessing as long as you have the original title and vin number plate, you could rebuild just about anything. I am not sure what the law is on Re- Riveting the Vin Plate but if you have the metal or top cowl anything is possible
Great vid 👌👍do you use a weld through primer or is the new steel coated cheers 👍
Ok. I know there's a Madness to the know how. What you do scares me. The measurements or after the floor plan was installed. Doesn't matter. Love what you do.
Setting that rocker in , how you no your door gap is going to be correct , is there factory locating hole your using
This is going to be a really cool car, I look forward to watching the progress! What happened to the 2 1970 Boss cars that you had?
why overlap and stich weld the side panels like that vs drilling the spots and replacing the entire thing factory?
Gday from Sydney 🇦🇺, love to watch you work, I did something a similar resto
Thanks for watching!!
NO weld through primer?
Amazing how much metal isn’t left from the original vehicles. Usually when I weld up my out rockers I use a 24 inch level just to make sure I’m true, helps me with lining up the doors on the bottom, I always struggle lining up doors.. didn’t see you use one but maybe I missed it
Just curious about that 69 resto mod boss....what's the scoop on it now?
Ay..stupid question..what exactly are those bars that are bolted in place of the doors for again??
Just extra bracing for the body
@@petersonrestorations Are those supports available to buy somewhere?
I need to start saving my money or hit the lottery for the Fastback and have you do the one piece floor/frame rail assembly and the rest of the front structure.
Nice
👍🏼👍🏼keep the vids coming!
What brand of rocker panels do you use?
Dynacorn
What made you decide to go with Rod and Custom front end this time as opposed to the MTF suspension you have used in the past?
I think its cause he is going big block
MTF site says they're sold out of the C6 IFS kits. o.O woof ...
Because it's my car Ben is building and I put together the front and rear kits with Roger at Rod & Custom.
Are there no six-cylinder fastbacks left anymore because everyone is restomodding 390 cars? There must be one 390 car that is stock left in the world. Just curious. Love your work and video.
This is going to be a fantastic car are you keeping it? or is it for sale?
Neither, it's my car that Ben is building to be a period correct 1967 Shelby GT500.
How long in real time did this take you?
Probably 4 or 5 hrs
@@petersonrestorations that's not bad at all. Glad you're back with videos.
Another great, and interesting video. So, is this going to be an original Shelby look car, or an “Eleanor”? I only ask, as you mention fibreglass.
Shelby look

ouch.. $700 floor pan... Ask me how I know. hahahaha Shipping from Classic Ind. was almost as much as the damn floor!

1800 € here in France with discount hahaha
@@AnthonyDupuisJr just wait till he finishes with the 67 and you get it.
GT500PR
I'm not a fan of Shelby taillights on a Shelby body or any other mustang
Same!!! All tho the clean bar is nice and simple it takes away from the sexy curved taillight panel, speaking of shelby styled stuff i hate Eleanor front bumper and the bug eyes they have.
