Well, NNKH makes his living buying and repairing cars as well as his YT revenue so it sounds like you begrudge him his success and how he spends his hard earned money!
What a quietly spoken , understated, talented young man..Good to see 'youngblood' getting involved too..[Floorpan entry]..Oh to have the garage, equipment, knowledge and expertise to work on cars such as these..I've always said 'If your're comfortable, you'll do the best job' Thanks to both of you...UK
I bought and sold over a dozen Mustangs in 1970s and 80’s. Daily drove a 65 Mustang fastback for four years. Drove from Florida to California a couple of times. Started in Minnesota with very rusty cars. Sold my last Mustang, 1966 GT Mustang A code convertible when my first daughter was born. Once in awhile I think of buying a 65-66 mustang. Watching this video cures me of the desire. I like your approach. Good combination of quality work and speed.
I have had many and built many .My latest addiction is the 2005 through 2014 they are the best .They have the 60s feel but are so much tighter and preform so much better .Try one if you have not ,the gt 's are so awesome with manual trans add a supercharger to either to the 4.6 or 5.0 and they are amazing.
It’s great too see one of the NNKh cars getting brought back around fully it gets a bit disappointing seeing rusty classics getting minimal repairs then flipped. It’s really satisfying too see young guys bringing back true muscle car history without the shortcuts. Fantastic work guys.
My dad was convinced to go to a bingo at a large venue in 1965. The main prize was a 1965 Mustang and he won it. Kept it fo a few yrs and sold it. I think he wished he never did. Nice job 👍
My mom had a green 67 coupe with a black vinyl roof.😢 I was about 5 when she bought it in probably 69 or 70. I can still remember seeing it sitting on the car lot when she was shopping for a car. I liked the green one and my brother was mad because he liked the blue one.
I had so much fun watching. Just an incredible skill set. Looking forward to watch more. The family content makes this video one of my favorites. Watching your collie saying hey what about me dad? Peace to you and of course Chris and Bro.
Those 67’s were rust magnets, I remember going with my Dad when he bought our 67 coupe with a three speed manual and inline 6. Honestly they couldn’t hold up to a Roxborough winter!! All the salt the City of Philadelphia would sling on the roads!!
Ben that's a nice job,I have a ton of respect for what you do .I have done the same type of work on old Squarebody trucks for over 35 years at my house as a side gig.I know Chris will love it.
This video is the first time I got to see your work other than the end results. For those of you watching this video Peterson Restorations is the very best in the business!
I sometimes complain about not having someone to help me out, I am going to stop after I see what you can do by yourself. That was quite impressive. You make it look too easy, I hope people will not start chopping up their cars thinking they can replicate you :)
You seem like a good man sir. Proper craftsman with a lot of knowledge, doing a hard job which most could not do, with brillant results. And most importantly, you're heavily contributing to save some american milestones! I'm not even american, yet I'm greatly thanksful to people like you and Chris and others, not afraid to get their hands dirty and go the extra mile to save some iconic cars from the junkyard. Bravo.
Thanks, Ben! Myself, I was lucky enough to find a 1968 Ford Mustang GT HiPo 302-4V fastback in Highland Green. It has rust through on the passenger floor panel due to the heater leaking a puddle on the floor pan. Also, the driver's panel needs replacing. Fantastic walkthrough on fabrication required, I am better informed and know what to expect. Keep bringing us those Mustangs.... 👍
I had to subscribe and hit notifications. My wife has a 66 Mustang that is in need of a complete restoration and your videos are a good starting point for me.
Excellent job. I use to help restore from 64 1/2 to 72 with a retired railroad worker, (Lou , R.I.P.) from Cedar Falls ,Iowa. I see the repops ,we called them, haven't changed a bit on accuracy 👌😄 unfortunately. We never had back then what's available now. It was literally piece by piece back then. That is so much better in sections like that!! I still have my 68 we had done back in 90 as my daily that needs to be restored again after all those years of Iowa road salt. I'm not a spring chicken any longer and like your work. Pending distance I'd be interested on estimate for mine to get same treatment. After I strip it , naturally.
Beautiful job man. Didn't understand all the cutting but I got it when I saw the new floor pan. I didn't doubt that you knew what you were doing after that.
I'm really impressed by the amount of work you do by yourself. I have to say it's really intimidating to see 2/3 of the car cut off on jack stands. But the result man, exterior wise it looks exactly how it was, but underneath is now brand new. that's what i call a good job 😃
Mr. B. Here ! ☕️👀😎👍. Am not a fan of Unibody’s because of cost cheap to make for the manufacturer, yes a full frame adds weight, but not everyone needs a vehicle that has to do 9 sec 1/4 mile . Some times good dependable vehicle is just fine ! ☕️👀😎👍
Really amazing work. It helps that you can get those incredible one-piece floor assemblies.. I can't imagine those are available for a lot of classic cars, but you can see from your video how much it helps in terms of lining things up.. Still need to do a lot of measuring, but a bunch of things are already (in theory) in the right place.
When I restored my Scout the plasma cutter was the single best non-essential tool investment in terms of saving time and frustration. It was a couple hundred bucks from Amazon and you could spend that much or more just in cutting discs for a job like that and take 10x the time to do it.
It’s amazing to me how easy you make it all look! I am impressed every time I see it. There was no full floored option 25 years ago when I did my 68 coup. Still holding up well but the all new look is so appealing.
Great job. It amazes me he quickly you do them. But as you xaid, you've done so many that you know all the issues to work around and repair what is needed.
You make it look really easy to do.. but omg thats a lot of work when a new guy has to think over every step of the process.. well done and a nice edit! 👍
You are the reason I saved my 67 coupe and acquired my Boss car and am reassembling it as of now. Thanks for the inspiration and confidence to do this job.
Ben, I had no idea what went into such a restoration - it was so interesting. I really liked your fork lift driver as he seemed to be the man with the plan. Chris you need to do another restoration such as this on another one of your great finds.
Excellent video Ben :) also your work super nice and glad Chris offered you to this Mustang fix up to do ! Congratulations to both work on great classic vechile and love now to looks!
This was fascinating to watch that is great work there and to do it by yourself is pretty impressive. Thanks for editing it down to a very sensible length.
Awesome work. Loved watching you marry the floor to the body on your own. I also work alone, and I have to get creative at time. If you made something that bolts to the door hinge mounts, you could put the jack stands out the way and would be no need for the front piece of wood. Just a thought.
Back in the day I bought 2 67 Mustang fastbacks one that was wrecked in the front and one that was wrecked in the rear and I cut them apart and grafted the two together and let me tell you what I'll never do that again even though it came out successful the amount of measuring and tweaking and talking and twisting to get those two body parts to come together at the seams that I had picked and had to make seams for the roof was genuinely the hardest thing I've ever had to do but it came out flawless and let me tell you what I reinforce the hell out of that unibody they have kits now I'm back in the 80s when I did it you had to make up your own
It is amazing how you are doing this i have done this type of body work all of my life I wish I have seen this 30 years ago my life would have been alot easier wow ❤😂❤❤
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. So to many who make comments how much these Craftsman make , can you do what they do ? To all of us who have made a living to have a better way life for our families, ☕️👀😎👍 well done !
Whew! When you started removing floor pan without stiffening body across door jams I was freaking out. You obviously have done this before and were confident the body was rigid enough without additional bracing. Looking good!
I think with this complete new floor pan resto probably safer to start again from scratch (using the new floor pan as the reference point) as the old shell may have been pretty twisted-up over the last 50 years and bracing would just carry that problem over…
I ordered a patch panel for my truck floor. Treated the rust and put it in with 300 rivets and a gallon of liquid nails. Watching this all I can say is I'm not qualified, but it's also not as bad as I thought it'd be.
Thanks again for the top notch work Ben! Couldn't have asked for better results! Very excited to get her back together!
It would be interesting to know approximately how much it costs for all that work. Maybe you could share in your video.
Let me know if you want to sell it when you get it running!
@@bmwpete65s55 Probably paid with loads of TH-cam subscribers/views...
Well, NNKH makes his living buying and repairing cars as well as his YT revenue so it sounds like you begrudge him his success and how he spends his hard earned money!
Hi Chris,
Will you keep this car or sell it once the engine is back in?
I can’t believe how you do all of that expert work by yourself! I’m very impressed. Hats off to you
Thanks
props to you for editing down a 98 hour video
Haha yeah
That's just unbelievable work. You can't go wrong fixing a Mustang, with so many parts available.
Incredably talented and incredibly humble guy. Great job!

This was no joke the best car resto video I’ve seen in a long long while. You are a master and made it look too easy. I’m amazed.
Glad you liked it!

You did an amazing job. That Mustang will be on the road for many years to come now.
Ben that's a nice job,I have a ton of respect for what you do .I have done the same type of work on old Squarebody trucks for over 35 years at my house as a side gig.I know Chris will love it.

AMAZING! Love the collaboration of two of my favorites.
Looks easy but that takes some serious TALENT. Nice work!
Compelling viewing! An artist at work.
Fun to watch the transformation. Grew up when Mustangs and Camaros were the cool car to drive...
💯%🙏 Love & Respect, to you and Chris, masterfully done, she's brought back to perfection.
That is incredible the amount of cutting out of old rusty metal. At least all the sheet metal is available on a Mustang.
Ben you made this look so easy!!! You’re definitely a master of your craft!!! Looks amazing!!!
I see a future for you and Chris to work together on more of these restorations. .. you guys are both very talented!
Nice to see how a pro working his magic and making Chris smile.
Amazing! Your fabrication skills and the aftermarket support for such projects, really enjoy it.
You made it look easy.Thats the sign of a craftsman.
I sometimes complain about not having someone to help me out, I am going to stop after I see what you can do by yourself. That was quite impressive. You make it look too easy, I hope people will not start chopping up their cars thinking they can replicate you :)
Great work Ben! It was a pleasure watching!
Looks very nice and professional. I always enjoy this kind of craftsmanship 👌
I'm impressed, massive amount of work,I've never seen anyone,go to this extent hats off to ya.
It’s so relaxing watching the transformation! Very meticulous! Nice Work Sir!
F*ing incredible! Son, you got a huge set! I'm a "shade tree" fabricator and I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot poll. Atta boy from Texas!
I’m very impressed with that complete replacement floor pan. Mustang restoration must be big business in the U.S…
That was awesome to see you fish that floor pan under the body. Good work man!
You seem like a good man sir. Proper craftsman with a lot of knowledge, doing a hard job which most could not do, with brillant results. And most importantly, you're heavily contributing to save some american milestones! I'm not even american, yet I'm greatly thanksful to people like you and Chris and others, not afraid to get their hands dirty and go the extra mile to save some iconic cars from the junkyard. Bravo.
CJ Pony Parts has bucket seat track extensions for us tall guys. (6'2) I have them in my 67 coupe. Love 'em!!
Great work. Really liked your explanations of the restoration process. I would have never thought it was possible to save the 67 Mustang
This guy is a true craftsman, WOW😮
Really neat .. We all need one of those guys on standby, craftsman for sure..Kyle minling was mine..Rip..
Thanks, Ben! Myself, I was lucky enough to find a 1968 Ford Mustang GT HiPo 302-4V fastback in Highland Green.

considering that just about all cars and SUVs are unibody construction, good luck finding one of them "good dependable vehicles". Frames rust, too.
TR6 is one example maybe…
Some incredible work. In what seems like a pretty spartan way. Awesome.
Really amazing work. It helps that you can get those incredible one-piece floor assemblies..

That ben is a top notch mechanic, very cool guy one can tell how much experience he has
Absolutely epic. What a fantastic way to keep an old Mustang going. Top Work!
Wow! amazing work... funny how you make it look so easy doing that complete floor pan. 👍
My first video of PR. Damn! Impressive craftsmanship. Your experience really is evident.
Thanks I appreciate that!! And thanks for watching
Great work! Now I know where to go when I get my wife a '67 and it needs a new floor pan
Awesome, here from NNKH. Great work, really amazing! Can't wait to see it finished.
You represented your company well. Great work and a professional attitude to go along with it. 👊
Some more fine work, 👍🏻
Absolutely incredible work. You are a total craftsman. Great attention to detail. 💪👌
Nice workmanship!
Thanks!!
Nice Work!, Chris was very happy!, 1st Car I ever drove was a 1966 Mustang, Then later on had 3 Fox Bodys over a span of 15 Yrs!

Your very humble and its obvious you work hard and do a great job doing it.
So cool that you are able to keep these classics on the road! Great job!
Amazing restoration work. Nicely done
Ben, I had no idea what went into such a restoration - it was so interesting. I really liked your fork lift driver as he seemed to be the man with the plan. Chris you need to do another restoration such as this on another one of your great finds.

insanely clean work, what a sick car
Absolutely awesome.
You perform perfect work.
NICE!
Rich
Wow!!!!! just incredible. I Need a plasma cutter too. Total craftsman.
Thank you for saving this beautiful car.
Very interesting video. I've never seen that type of work done before.
This was fascinating to watch that is great work there and to do it by yourself is pretty impressive. Thanks for editing it down to a very sensible length.
Nice work and with modern rust prevention this reconstruction should last longer than the original!
Awesome work. Loved watching you marry the floor to the body on your own. I also work alone, and I have to get creative at time. If you made something that bolts to the door hinge mounts, you could put the jack stands out the way and would be no need for the front piece of wood. Just a thought.

Simply amazing to watch you work.
Terrific coverage of excellent work!
So nice to see it getting done....quite eye opening...
you are amazing at what you do my brother
Wow, Ben, seriously impressive work! You really lined everything up perfectly. Looks fantastic!
WOW! I thought this work was going to take at least 6 months! AMAZING work sir
Excellent. Well done and very professional. Thank you!!!
Great video and what an amazing craftsmanship! Deep respect!
All I can say is that is jaw dropping….. that amazes me how you can do that great job Tiny Houston MS ( Len Price )
You are a master of mustang metal .That job is top notch!!!!!!!!!!
