I like the integrity of the strut tower very much. V your idea of running a further bracket down to the frame rail will render the whole thing bullet proof I think. - coming along nicely! I feel some of the “old V” returning! 😊
The VStang is coming along so nicely, I love all the details being installed. It really is personal and one of a kind. My favorite build in UA-cam by far.
Nice job Ben! Looks solid! You can only do so much working alone---plus the filming and editing. We have to be patient. With all you are doing, it is coming along fine.
19:01 for your cross brace, I'd weld a nut on the top plate underside then when you have to remove the cross brace it's just zip zip with the impact and it's off. You could put brackets on the end that conform to the shape of those tubes too if you wanted it to be really rigid.
Nice job on the build. Something to think about...the cowl area in front on the windscreen will be a high pressure area for the air travelling over the car. This is usually taken advantage of, by designing air INTAKE at that point. Like for the cabin fan and heater. If you want to vent air OUT, it may be difficult. OR you can design air to flow in and down there, to help cool the engine compartment. It may still work, but I thought I should be mentioned. Keep at it. You will get it done.
Great stuff. I really like the hands on and CAD design combo. It is how custom cars should be build to be honest. Everything turns out cleaner and you end up with software copy of everything you do. Congrats, it is definitely one of the most interesting builds I have seen on UA-cam. Take your time and don't cut corners, it will pay off at the end.
Good job, but when I did mine, I moved the upper shock mount outboard and made the inner fender wall smooth. It gave me a lot more room in the engine compartment. It also reduced the torque moment twisting the frame rails. You need a lower support between the frame rails and the front rail: otherwise, the frame will twist. You cut them out earlier. You need to put something back so the anti-sway bar doesn't twist the frame.
"Sick of working on it." SO many people would love to be in your position with that car, people who have a passion for it, who will not get sick of it. That said though, I like the ingenuity of the strut towers. Quite a well though out solution. Was it your idea, or did you see it somewhere else? It was pretty well executed anyway.
Please wait until you have the Explorer differential (making sure it's a limited slip)before you weld in the link supports.That way you'll do it once,and it'll fit.The front's looking great,and solid.Nate's doing great with the cutter and programming.He can cut you some ends for the tubing on the strut easily.
That Mustang is coming along fine don't give up on it man don't do that this thing is going to be so cool when you get it done and I'd like to come up there and give it a drive myself I think that would be so cool man that thing is coming along really nice that 65 Mustang is just the coolest thing I have seen you done yet and it is coming along great man don't give up on it
Beautiful design and fabrication on the shock towers. That'll stand up to those wheelies you'll be doing. You got it going on between the ears man. Thanks!
When you make the strut tower brace, make sure you have unsprung weight on the car. Engine out n front lifted preferred but you can probably get away with the engine installed but have the front lifted. You don’t want to have any weight on the towers. Motion auto tv just had that issue with installing his brace on his gtr. Once he lifted the car it went right on, but when it was on the ground, the towers actually moved a hair and the bolt holes didn’t line up.
Thanks for the S2000 update. It’s sure coming along nicely! On the Mustang, with the pillow bearing is it possible you could find a flexible boot to keep the grease in and the contaminants out? I used to work in parts before retiring and frequently would see a replacement boot for Synchro-Start solenoids. This would be a smaller rubber boot similar to axle boots. Just my 2¢ worth. It might be worth a look. I’d also contact the peeps you got your pillow bearing from, they may have one.
Good to see you progressing this but more importantly you are starting to think things through. I would just prime the engine bay as you still have a lot of fabrication work. Wiring, cooling, heating if any and all those other things thay you will need to turn it from a runner to a driver. I would be getting it all done, then disassemble for the final painting. That engine will likely be in and out a couple of more times and you will only have to redo that paint. You need this as an advert for your business in my opinion so do it once, do it right.
my 55 Thunderbird has a Ford 9" 4 link rear end. They are simple to mount just make sure it's set true and neutral so your adjustment's look accurate. If it's off alignment, it's a sign of the person who installed it didn't know what they were doing.
Hey vtuned (Ben) very good job on 1966 ford mustang gt couple v8 coyote 5:2 engine 6 speed manual transmission me and my son I love like watching UA-cam shows car vtuned love support vtuned big fan of vtuned me and my son living in Australia 🇦🇺 I love like watching UA-cam shows cars build up cars very good back road number one ☝️ ❤
The Mustang is coming along, once you start to trim out the panels, you will be more excited about getting this one done. Gonna be nice to see it on the road soon ! Great job!
Love it! That was a lot of work in this Video. Props! I wonder if you still can do the dimple dies now. Would definitely not only make it stronger but also look much more professional. Cheers!
I'm slowly realizing that building one McLaren out of two is actually easier than building a custom racing mustang. Mostly because the engineering was already done like putting together a very complex puzzle vs creating a whole new puzzle from scratch. All that being said, let's not forget he's building his childhood dream car.
Very happy you're continuing the mustang. You are doing a great job. Don't lose focus! Stick with it and it will truly pay off in the end I promise you.
Very Smart Move going back in and adding these extra strengthening elements, going down to the frame and connecting everything like you have mentioned is going to make the whole front work together as a strong piece instead of unwanted random flexing or failure points
SALUSOS VTUNED ,ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS, YOU REALY ARE DOINING A GOOD ENGINEERING WORK ON THE MUSTANG ,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. G.B.Y. I MEAN SALUDOS ON THE FIRST WORD, G.B.Y.A. NICE TO SEE YOUR BROTHER PROGRESING TOO.
The biggest difference between the Jeep and pretty much every other 4x4 out there . Is that the jeep has solid front and rear axles , most everything else has independent front suspension . Independent is better for most things , but with the right set of shocks a Jeep can articulate its suspension Way more . I had just a middle of the road lift kit on my Jeep and on a ramp test I could get my front tire a full 4 ft off the ground while the other three tires were sitting on the ground . You would need trophy truck suspension in order to do the same thing with independent .
Needs more primer 😂 You're almost there just gotta get a rear end in there and paint the engine bay and it will be a milestone. Don't get sick of this build because it's coming along nicely 👍
I like your project and your inventiveness. One thing about the cowl vents: they usually provide positive pressure (like intakes) and the cooling airflow you are describing probably wants a negative pressure at the vent. Just a thought.
Great Work as usual. How about running the headers out the fenders. Old drag car look. Can't wait to see the finished car. Been a Subscriber since day 1. You've come a long way and Deserve all of you Success.
🌴 Hey Ben, the V- Stang is a project and ya say you’re gett’n burned out , but don’t feel like it’s only you the goonzquad boys got there hands full to on the Camaro , hot rod project cars take time and money, it’s the price you pay for having a car your way , think of it this way “ nobody has a car like it “ it’s one of a kind , and you own it ! And it’s almost done ! 👈🏼👍😀
Great video,smart move using the CNC machine,lot cleaner look,plus makes you look better,if that’s possible.Lol. Just keep going forward and carry on.about time to get you some help,like another brother maybe.impressive,impressive.can’t wait for the next video 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Really loving the build the only thing that scares me is you and Goonzquad both drilled wholes in the firewall of your builds for the wire harness and not one rubber grommet for the wiring harness and your both feeding all that wire in the whole
I had to junk my beloved 69 Mach 1, because I couldn’t repair the shock towers anymore. This was back in 78. The parts and technology just wasn’t there. I’m so pissed at myself now!😊
I would love to see your mustang and goonzquads 67 Camaro they're building run each other. At a local drag strip. I'm a ford man I'll put my money on the tang. Can't wait until it's done. Keep up the good work.
When you respray the car are you respraying the engine bay? Would look great if the bay was the same color n clear coat as the body. You are right there.
I understand why you often say you got burned out on the mustang, it is a lot of work but that thing is a great project. I enjoy watching it as the smashed car rebuild recepie is a bit overdone on UA-cam. Keep up the good work and hope to see it done soon. 🤟
Let's not forget that the biggest payouts in the markets don't come from great performances but rather it's great promotions. Stay invested, diversification for streams of incomes is very important.
Hello, I'm new to this online investment Bitcoin trade and i've been making huge losses but recently, I seen a lot of people earning from it. Please can someone tell me what to do?
No one,NO ONE, can argue Xender Smith at least currently, the best out there, even when Bitcoin is looking bearish with the market sentiment swinging low. But they kept us grounded with their real analysis, just the facts in the charts.
In all honesty I would Bolt all of that shit in on the rear end first to make sure it’s all proper and then weld it in That way there is no alignment issues
This build is bloody awesome Ben, and I know your on top of it, but when the engine is in, how tight will your exhaust system be in the engine bay, and on the steering side, keep up the fantastic work 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia

I think dimple dies would look awesome on the structural plates! Looking good boss…take care and God bless…David.
VTUNED done it again. This mans genius knows no limits.

@12:25 looks like somebody made a ninja throwing ⭐️ 😅
Beautiful design and fabrication on the shock towers. That'll stand up to those wheelies you'll be doing. You got it going on between the ears man. Thanks!
@vtuned you should box in the hinge brackets as well. That would make it all sealed up!

As always Ben.. you knocked the stabilization of the shock towers out of the park! Keep up the great work!
FU!.

"We'll have to make a label to remind us to grease it every 50 miles...." I'm laughing out loud over here.
Amen to that .he better be worried about headers or exhaust manifolds.thats when he will here me laughing all the way in Tennessee !
Doesn’t pay to grease that one. The bearing is so angled out of the flange grease won’t get into the bearing itself.
Glad your staying at it Ben.. 🙌. Love the videos
this is what i wanted to see, car building. Stay focused and great work vtuned you will go far!, peace from BRAZIL.

Hello bro great vidéo... And hello from France (( Bourgogne saone et Loire))
The Mustang is coming along, once you start to trim out the panels, you will be more excited about getting this one done. Gonna be nice to see it on the road soon ! Great job!
Nate making shurikens is hilarious, and so on point.
pretty cool to see your general process for making the cnc brackets, thanks!
Love it! That was a lot of work in this Video. Props!
I wonder if you still can do the dimple dies now. Would definitely not only make it stronger but also look much more professional. Cheers!

That Front end looks CLEANNNN!!!💯💯
What an awesome job ben.
Worth the wait. Worth my time.
Great job,,, going deeply to details to make the job not only safe but also 👌 beautiful ❤️
CAD and CNC will give you the edge and make your content have that different edge that people will want to see IMO
Can't wait to see you figure out how to thread that steering through the headers !
Very Smart Move going back in and adding these extra strengthening elements, going down to the frame and connecting everything like you have mentioned is going to make the whole front work together as a strong piece instead of unwanted random flexing or failure points

Those shock towers are nice... But they'd be better with some Dang Sauce.. LOL. great work
10:09 ok who made a throwing star using CNC, lol
Don’t give up on it ! You’re doing a good job!😊
I like the way the engine bay turned out . good job Ben
@Motionraceworks makes a nice engine lift plate for coyote engines
This ford bronco is not a keep on steroids. The Jeep 392 puts all new broncos to shame
Sorry. Jeep on steroids
The Mona Lisa of the UA-cam mustang builds
Nice work. Is the inside of the strut tower getting cleaned and protected too? 👍💪💥
Thanks for the update video Ben. Front of the Mustang is looking great. Keep up the hard work that you are doing alone. Peace ✌
Great build! Keep the videos coming!
hard work pays off and it shows looking really good I can almost here it running great job ben , great video also.
Old cars are never 100% done. There is always something new in your mind after the first version is done.
Needs more primer 😂 You're almost there just gotta get a rear end in there and paint the engine bay and it will be a milestone. Don't get sick of this build because it's coming along nicely 👍

Chicken minis are one of the best forms of currency out there!! Old school bronco guys don’t like the fact there’s no v8 option in the new one.
Those brackets came out perfect. Nice job!

Go Ahead Bra. Sometimes doin' a damn thing takes a little time, especially when you have no crew.
Nice job & have a great weekend !! 😀👍🍺
Классно всё сделал парень!
Looking good sir 😍
So.... do you still think this is gonna fall apart? 😂
I had to junk my beloved 69 Mach 1, because I couldn’t repair the shock towers anymore. This was back in 78. The parts and technology just wasn’t there. I’m so pissed at myself now!😊

Maybe turn that steering bearing block 180. You may not be able to get the the grease fitting when the motor is installed.
8:59 a guy with his eyes wide open screaming at the sky
Good stuff brother keep getting after it.
Nice, you are motivated now finish it up. It’s gonna look awesome and show stopper
Can't wait to see the final product‼️ 😎
Your strut bracket should have a 90 degree bend to the panel for increased rigidity and support
Ben, the strut tower engineering is looking nat kak verby!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Like the way you are taking time to work our important details.
I think it needs another 200lb of metal in the front bracing all over the place without any real understanding of structural integrity.
It's coming together nicely, good work dude!
I understand why you often say you got burned out on the mustang, it is a lot of work but that thing is a great project. I enjoy watching it as the smashed car rebuild recepie is a bit overdone on UA-cam.
Keep up the good work and hope to see it done soon. 🤟
Put some speed holes in it get some dimple dies where you connected it it’ll give it a little look

Literally to the 1% who's reading this, God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day.
Ben that mustang is like spinning to the finish line. Way to go bro.
the triangle shock brace will help a bunch - you are getting close
Dimple Dyes are over played, I like bead rolling better. Love this build though! keep it up!
little brother to the rescue. great to see you designing stuff again.
Your are building a tank. Sick nice Dude. Stay safe.
best video of yours ive seen in a while possibly ever. nice to see you get alot done without talking about it to much
Never bored your contents ...i always says (love what you do to do what you love) and here you are a good example of it ...
You cannot cut off the front of those tubes, you’ll loose all your structural support.
