Where to cut the body off of your coupe for the fastback conversion.
Im a 100% Mopar guy. But this makes me want to build fastbacks on the side to fund my Mopar projects!!
Scott you can title it in Vermont and then transfer it to your state
I just don’t think it’s possible
Thankyou Scott!!!!!!!
My first car was a 1966 Mustang that I purchased for $150. in 1974. I worked the summer on the tobacco farms down in Conn. I still have that car and am going to build it again!!!!!
So… hypothetically speaking. If someone took Little Red and converted it to a fastback its value would increase?
I just bought a 67 coupe yesterday the body is in insanely good condition i was actually surprised it has a fresh coat of primer on it and no rust bumps or sheet metal holes honestly the only negatives i have to say is that it has a lost title and that it has an automatic transmission but what makes up for that is it runs and driving fule and brake lines are basically brand new feels like it just needs new brakes and it has a 302 in it!! Picked it up for 4 grand of the forsale group
I’m buying a project coup man… an going to work in my garage… you inspired me to take the leap!
B.S!! You can barely even paint a car for 6grand let alone build and engine, new exhaust, suspension and tires.
You didn’t watch the video nor read the caption. Go back now and try again.
Good for you Pastor, I love seeing men of God working on cars cause besides preaching, they love cars! I started following a few others doing these and I love the idea and they look fantastic too. Lord willing, my tests come back with and news but cancer I'm going to finish my 68 Chevy Impala and may be one of these. I will subscribe to your channel. I need to do a few vieos of my car and not just my MiniMax concrete mixers and a few political TV interviews I've done for National News channels. I'll be stopping in and look at your older videos. Thank you!
Awesome video
Hi what would you charge someone. If they drop off mustang and fastback parts.just metal work
Hey Scott, your video just came across my feed I really appreciate that you took your time to share this information. I am considering doing a coupe to fastback conversion and would love to have your checklist. I did like and subscribe to your channel. Great content! Thank you! I hope this finds you well and in good spirits! Best regards-Jim
I love a numbers matching car. With that said I am semi retired blue collar and even building a couple conversion is going to strain the budget. I have a 385 lima engine that I'm going to build and I'm looking for a machine shop to convert to a 427 side oiler. Another big expense. After much soul searching I realized what I want is a car that LOOKS like a fastback but runs like a GT40. I don't care if it has to start on a pinto body. I saw one fastback that was 400 thousand. It was beautiful but I'd be terrified to drive it. If I achieve my conversion I will drive it EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE !
Set your expectations before you start I think that really helps with the project. A daily driver with more modern running gear will serve you incredibly well. Remember many of the vintage engines never lived much past 60k miles and to get to that 60 was a constant work. There is zero doubt that the modern fuel injected, computer controlled, strict tolerance manufactured stuff lasts longer with much less wrench efforts. But sometimes we just want that vintage sound, feeling and such.
Actually a coupe converted to a fastback even without added sub frames will have a more rigid body than either of the two as created by Ford . Now in my seventies I regret selling my 1967s in 1973 when I went in the US Army . Yes plural I had both S codes 390 at the same time from 70 to 73. The fastback had a 4 speed top loader the coupe had a C6 auto . The fast back body twister more under extreme load...versus the coupe. the folding seat in the fastback had their plus but only came in handy if I was ferrying 2x4x8 studs home ..and for that I always used my pick up truck .
Ford was brilliant in the unibody design not because it made a better car but they were the first to build a car completely from sheet metal. Ford innovated in manufacturing for many years this is one of them. On our end (the user) the unibody isn't the most rigid for high horsepower or impact. So we are left doing some work. The body design makes it worth it in value to put the effort in though.
@@ScottHarness1 Ford.. was not first to build uni-body cars in the USA, Nash 600 1941 to 1949 was . The Nash 600 w. They were arguably the first at building larger production numbers uni-body cars and models for the USA market versus the other . Properly constructed a uni-body is stronger than body on frame ...the Ford 1960 TO 1967 Thunderbirds are an example of that .That body platform could take the high torque of big blocks all day long and not twist like the more anemically built Mustangs. I owned two 64s one with 390 the other with an optional truck motor a 430 with greater torque specs which was sold under a special corporate order system if the prospective buyer intended to tow a large trailer even though that engine ( 430 ) was not longer offered through dealer options since 1960 or 62 as my memory recalls. Why tow a trailer with a Tbird remains a mystery to me to this day ...fortunately bing 3 owner mine came without a trailer hitch .. and no signs of one ever having been installed 🖖
Save even more buying it in pieces when you don’t need all of the 1/4 door A and B pillar pieces
You can buy the unwelded inner structures but you can't just buy the upper portion, if you could we'd be doing that almost all the time! They know how to make the money...
Did you set the pinion angle with the springs loaded?
The first video in my attempt to show you how to set the angle I screwed it up completely! I had to cut it all out (in a later video) and redo all of it. And yes I did set it under load.
Lots of room left for more offset on the inside of the tire
Sure is. Honestly there is lots of wheel housing room in the mustang to begin with.
Thank you for your helpful videos. Is there any plan to add the 69 and 70 fastback parts list? Do you know if there is much differance between a 67/68 and 69/70 coupe to fastback conversion?
Thank you! There are quite a bit of differences between the 67-68 and the 69-70. It is still doable, I think one of the reasons that more people don't do that conversion is 69-70 Fastbacks didn't jump in price like the 67-68's. You can still get a decent 70 Fastback for $20k, with the 69 being about $5k more. The conversion as far as the metal work would be very similar but the parts are different, and a little more expensive.
Well I have a fully done Buick skylark 1977 sedan and it's fully FULLY done and I want to convert it to coupe what do you guys suggest?
Thank you!
if it was really this easy everyone would be doing it.
It isn't easy but doable.
Those are hex head self-tapping sheetmetal screws at 17:15.
YES!
Keep going with your channel, brother!!
Thank you my friend.
Do they make a fastback conversion for the 69-70 mustang?
Yes, they sell the replacement body parts that could be used to do the conversion. I haven't seen a conversion package put together by a parts house yet for that year models but you could order the individual parts and do it.
First 10 minutes is all about 6X the list and how your project can be a never finished project, sorry to wordy and takes too long to get to the meat of the project. I'm gone.
Here’s the list: coupetofastback.gumroad.com/l/ihntlv?layout=profile
I too hate the Elenore goofy looking kit car
Agreed.
OMG bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Try the cartoon channel.
#7 to increase the likelihood of being car jacked by some gangsta punk like John Wick?
Lol. Truth.
I have a 68 coupe with a front left frame rail that’s rotted out and be been wanting to covert it to a fast back but would it be any easier to buy a more modern roller and swap the body?
The body swap in to a modern chassis in my opinion is much more difficult and specialized. People have done it but the newer Mustangs are both wider and different wheelbases as well. Not to say it can't be done it can, but you need to be prepared for the process.
We here you Scott , I think you are right make the car drives and put it on the street and maybe upgrade later
Yes! When the car is running you are much more motivated to do more.
God, Family, Snakes, and Stangs are my favorite things!
Heck yeah!
What if one's starting point is a '65 K-code GT with rotted-out roof and softball-sized hole above the steering wheel?
The great start honestly.
I guess this video is just an infomercial for the next video nnnkay?
Read the title… sound it out.
I need this list please
I just found your channel
The list is now a book, you can download it here: coupetofastback.gumroad.com/l/ihntlv Gumroad manages the downloads it cost $10 but it is a much larger and better document than at the first.
Glad you did!
Lots of words but not much content.
The first video is teaching you how the rest show you how. Converting a coupe to a fastback is a very detailed thing for people wanting to do it. The details matter.
Sincerest condolences to you and your family on the loss... just found your channel, subbed looking forward to more as time permits.. may His face shine upon you and yours! 👍👍
Thank you so much.
@@ScottHarness1 👍👍
I like the way you measure it out I would do the same thing
Cut the back half off a late model and do some metal work or scrap that idea and get into Chev. and have something.
The mustang resale values are much better than GM products...
God bless u too sir thanks for the tips
Thank you!
you could've gotten the same point across in 4 minutes
Create you a channel and you can make quick points.
Good video, but why do so many Mercans have verbal diarrhoea? How many times can you say the same thing over and over before wanting to shoot yourself in the face? The constant repetition infers that the producer thinks the audience is so stupid, they can't get the message without repeating it many times. Or, its a question of the producer's own intelligence, that he possibly didn't notice his own repetition. Either way, it's unnecessary. A good video but it could have been half as long - and better - without the waffle.
Hey what’s your email I have a lot of questions about this!
Im not a purist by any means and if I get one will be adding modern technology to it but cannot get on board with converting a coupe to fastback. I get its your car and get your points but there absolutely is one scenario where a coupe is worth more than a fastback,if I were looking at it I would never consider buying it unless the converted car was dirt cheap. I would not pay a premium or good money for a converted coupe fastback.
Converted coupes are sold every day for significantly more than unconverted. You don't mind non original wheels, motor, trans, interior, paint, and much more but don't modify the body. Seems silly.
@@ScottHarness1 I’m sure that they are but we’re not talking wheels Scott, everything you are describing is modifying a vehicle but at the end of the day if it was a coupe its still a coupe, convertible or fastback, etc. This is changing the vehicle type, night and day scenario seems silly to me that you don’t see that. What will the title say on a coupe converted fastback, fastback or coupe?
@@msk3905I think if you have a conviction of not modifying the body of your car don’t. There are plenty of people that believe numbers matching factory original restorations are the way. The way I see it is if you want fastback you can spend (just did a quick search of market place) $25k (rust bucket) to $100k decent car or you can convert a coupe for a fraction and have a drivable car of your dreams. The title will always say “Coupe”. No one has ever asked for my title though lol. When I drive a converted fastback everyone stops, looks and asks questions. They love it so do I. But to each his own.
@@ScottHarness1 My comment is to the poster saying that there is never a scenario where a coupe is worth more than a fastback, I’m giving him one scenario where it is. It’s your car you can do what you want with it, all I’m saying is I would never pay a premium for a fake fastback, it’s a coupe I’d pay coupe prices for one converted or not. I love factory five cobras, would happily own and drive one but they are heavily discounted from real cobra’s.
@@msk3905 Converted coupes go for double if not triple over coupes. “I wouldn’t pay” isn’t a market analysis but a preference. I sold three coupes last summer for next to nothing and could hardly get that. I could have presold a conversion for $19k this month. I have $400 in the car and $2k in parts. The car before the conversion is worth $400 after it's worth $20k. I sold a 1965 coupe roller last fall, all new metal, new floor pans, new suspension, perfect car all I could get was $5500 and it took 6 months to sell. A friend I helped do a conversion on a 1965, he sold it unfinished (body screwed on) unfinished roller for $13k in a single day. People are paying $10k to do the conversion and they won't pay $10k for a coupe roller.
Is thath 40k fastback missing door windows, rear window, back seat, lots of interior parts and paint? Because the 20k converted coupe is. Your calculation is totally wrong
You bought or sold a VIN fastback or converted fastback lately?
Power nation does a good conversion video….. but your right you have to cherry pick !
Good info. Probably better from a viewers perspective to reduce your screen space and enlarge the vehicle's space. Also, pls don't crop the car description...ie. "1968 Shelby C_______"?
Here in Mo you can build a trailer and get a vin put on it from the highway patrol, I wonder if you can do the same with a reproduction crate or boxed body by showing a bill of sale for said parts but you will have to build it from scratch. Guys build fiberglass cars. And you see them with tags on them. If its all new parts there has to be a way around this thats legal.
I know there are ways, I just am not sure what they are.
17:31 but with a kit car reproduction car it has no VIN Its just stamped metal parts in a crate or box how can you get a title on a DIY car?
I didn’t know if it was just my fenders were a pain… 🤣🤣 thank you.
Whats a talkbox?
Torque boxes- are metal structures within the car that connect the floor supports and structural steel of the unibody mustang to the outer frame rails.
