This is my first time watching, the passion you have for what you do is awesome! I also watch Rust Bucket Resto's, what he does is amazing, can't wait to start watching your videos.
First time watcher here. I thought the 65 that my brother and I recently undertook was bad because the frame extensions were a little swiss cheesed and the floorboards had holes. It will be interesting to watch the process unfold. Can't wait to see this one come together.
Ben I have to laugh, I have this vision of someone (you?) sitting in that shell as is and saying yes, it has manual windshield wipers you just pull them across the air windshield with your free hand like so. And, yes well, absent the motor it costs a lot less, right? Without a floor anymore it's easy to use your feet to give her a good push! I'm laughing with you btw because I can still see the beautiful car it was, hiding in what's left. Your wonderful work is one more assurance these great cars wont die. My dad talked me out of a $800 67 Fastback (rusty) but certifiable back in the day. Our mechanic and dad telling 18 yr old me how it might crack in half for all they knew. I know when I finally do get a 67 I may have to pay more than what dad paid for his house, God rest his soul.
Excited about this one! I have a 66 coupe i need to do some floors and a frame rail on and I'm hoping to get some tips and measurements maybe especially with that front frame rail!
Not crazy! Anytime I see one of these cars, no matter what the shape, I see the finished car. I bought a 66 FB here in Hawaii (real hard to come by) mainly for the title and VIN. the only parts salvaged was the glass, front roof brace and the part of the front apron with the VIN. Shipping to here is $$$.
You've got serious skill brother. To be honest so much of the car gets replaced it appears to me that the car is only 15% original and the rest is newly purchased. How much engine do you put in?
Hi Ben! You have your hands full with this one!! Can’t wait for the next update! You forgot to mention the original color? Or I missed it? Keep up the savings!! Great job!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
when you gonna do part 2 oh btw sorry about being rude let me introduce myself my name is Sean I live in Vt and I am a new Subscriber as of 3/10 2020 never mind found prt 2 ty
Wow, man if it was media blasted I could imagine what would be left out of it... Good way to stay busy...Gotta give you some credit, if there were 250 cloned, Detroit may have never fallen... Damn shame companies are so greedy, and don't continue the old school methods of work, Economy would of had less problems if the never cut corners
About 11 years ago the guy living next door said he had a gutted 69 Fastback body for sale( with a good title)that all the body work was done and that he would sell it to me for 200 dollars. I told him that I would buy it but when he got it to his house the Whole Floor of the car was Rotten. I asked him why it was that bad and that NOW I wasn’t interested in it I was told it was because it’s been sitting on the ground in a Field for YEARS. The guy seemed to get a little upset because I didn’t want to but it then. I believe he had it hauled off to a junk Yard.Very Sad ending for that car.
I hope you bring every first generation Mustang back from the dead. You are a blessing!!!

Jesus, that thing is rotten. I've watched a good few of your videos now, your a master of your craft. Regards from Ireland.
Just bought a 65 for my wife. Rust rot everywhere. Dash floor cowl, gonna be a project for sure
Love seeing you save these. I watch all the videos you post.
I appreciate you for watching!!
This gonna be awesome. I've been following your work for a long time now. Always amazing to see.
Thanx for saving these cars
Nothing that Ben can’t do. Looking forward to this build. My brother has a 65 FB in bad shape also.

You should be wearing a magicians cape.
Can’t wait to see the progress on this one, gonna be another “forgotten fastback”
That is an insane project. Can’t wait to see you progress through it.
Your going to need a bigger shop! Cant wait to see how this one turns out.
Can’t wait and judging by what you’ve done in the past this will be a nice shell once you’re done with it.
Steven Marino thanks, it will make a nice car

Look at the bright side. It has great wiper arms.
Would an example like this be done easier with a Dynacorn full shell then take the couple of pieces off the donor and transfer, as well as the title?
you do amazing work!!!
Save the Mustangs, first it's the normal people you have to worry about, can't wait to see how that streamlined butterfly pans out!!!:)

Juan Andres I’d have to double check the door tag I forget what the color was
lots of work needed. it will be nice to see the end
Can’t wait for the videos enjoy your channel
This one is rough..be watching!!🙏🏻😉
When you buy these rust buckets do you get a free title or a salvage title?
YIKES!!! This is going to be cool!!!!
Seriously I don’t know how you do it. My motivation factor would bottom out here.
Did you check out the estate sale from the Jonathan w TH-cam link
this going to be a take a year to building this old Mustang
When you buy a car like this is the value basically in the title only?
It had a bunch of parts also
Do you rebuild the first gen(1967-68) cougars as well?or just mustangs?
Just mustangs
That's crazy. That's basically just a bunch of junk metal pieces left. And you turn it 180 around.

I admire your optimism but having done many Mustangs before i suppose it is,nt too daunting for you.
I could buff that right out.
The money you would have to spend to fix that up will be more than what a reproduction dynacorn 65 Mustang body shell would cost.
If so I wouldn't do it, thousands less
