A video regarding acquisition of cars would be very helpful. Surely you encounter some with potential, say, in a scrapyard, where there is no title. Title search? How does that usually go? What about one where the VIN Plate location is irreparably damaged, even causing the loss of the VIN Plate. Do you let it pass? Or, are there processes to acquire the vehicle legally? Maybe someone buys a farm with several old trucks behind a barn, how can you make them yours to sell or repair? Thanks for your time, and I hope you consider this topic if you haven't already covered it. I so appreciate what you do, thanks for sharing.
Mr. Peterson just like to say thank you very much for all the tips you have help me immensely on getting things squared up on my 67 Mustang. It’s a weekend project for me but it’s coming along nicely.
Thanks Ben. I would rather have you do the sheet metal work on my car but if you can’t at least I have videos of you showing us how you do it. Keep ‘‘em coming!
I’ve watched a bunch of your builds. This was really a good video by going from problem location to location identifying the normal issues then a quick description of the fix.
I really appreciate your videos and the quality of work you do. I bet if you did detail build videos, on all of your cars, that would help you sell them for more profit because then potential buyers could see your expertise at work and realize your asking price is warranted.
That was super helpful! I watched my body man do some of that on my Mach 1 but I’m doing a coupe shortly. Good pointers on the process. I tried to fit my outer wheelhouses before the quarter but it’s difficult doing it like that.
Not surprising your work is much better than factory. On my '67 S code GTA the upper rear body panel was misaligned and stuck up 3/16" ! where it meets the trunk from the factory.
2 questions : 1) do you only recommend only doing full quarter replacements instead of cutting it lower (half)? 2) how do you replace the windshield pins that hold the chrome molding when doing full quarters and the cowl? Thanks!
Hello Ben. I’m your opinion which model years have the most available aftermarket sheet metal and parts for restoration, 67/68 or 69/70? I like both for different reasons however I’m considering doing a 69 Mach 1 Cobra Jet (clone). My first car was my father’s 68 he bought new and gave it to me in 1975 for my 15th birthday. Sadly I sold the car in 1980. I appreciate any input you can provide.
Any tips on installing a new transition pan in a 69 mustang. I have to replace mine because when I bought my car it was all hacked up and causes my air shocks to bust when I install new ones
Hey, I was genuinely curious how you're able to do body work on Jack stands? I'm trying to restore my own mustang and a lot of advice I get is either putting it on a chasis jig or something along those lines
If you’ve never done a shell before I would recommend a jig of some sort. But if your car is tweaked or has any frame or major damage you can’t make a jig off of a damaged car
Ohh ok, and one more thing. I see is some of your video's you replace/ install the rear and front frame rails, would you also recommend a jig for that or could you theoretically do it on Jack stands?
'Acquired knowledge' is the price one pays when it comes to building something like these cars. Unfortunately, beyond that same "Acquired knowledge "(outside of God himself) few recognize the countless blood, sweat, tears, time and effort invested in that pretty finish and shine when its all done; unless of course ....they watch or do it for themselves. Great job son. Great job.

Thanks for the video, I’m fitting my 67 together now and wanna make sure everything’s perfect before burning it in so I appreciate your efforts!
Thanks for your tips, helpful for sure. Patience is key.
Great tips, Ben. Thanks for making these videos. I keep coming back because your work is beautiful and your knowledge is top-notch.
Good pointers for those who are restoring a mustang and needs to know how to put it back together you're videos are always great thumbs up 👍👍

Thanks Ben!! Looking good!😊

Ben, when lining up from the back of the door to the quarter how do you allow an amount for when the weather seal is in?
Great work 👍
Thanks
Nice video...just i would like to see how does the back glass fits...do you also test it before welding all the panels or that is not important??
Thanks for the information!
Nice 👌

Boss yah.🔥
How many Mustangs have you built?
Are you still using all Dyna corn panels
Do you ever add in the body piece for staggered shocks? Does anyone offer that piece?

Did the Boss 302 sell for $150,000? At Mecum.
No it didn’t meet my reserve
I saw your car at the auction but never got to see it hammered, too many commercials
I would be surprised if Ford ever built a Mustang with alignment equal to yours.
