    Really cool channel!!! Glad that I found it. I will be following along with this build. My first car was a 66 mustang coupe and I really loved that old pony. Got it for 900.00 dollars back in 1972, not bad for a 6 year old car! Take care and thanks for doing the build and posting the video here on TH-cam. Jim

    You build the real thing better than I can build a model… one question… When you build a shell from scratch, how do you plate it? What VIN number do you assign or where do you get a number from? The number from the destroyed shell? Thank you for posting your work. Simply awesome to watch.

      In Louisiana the state troopers will assign a vin if you have all the parts list receipts....if you have a title and old car and use some parts you can use that vin and register conventionaly
      If it's ALL new parts from scratch the state trooper inspects it and issues a new vin with model year it was finished it will have Mustang fastback on it tho

    I’m looking forward to watching this series build. I have a 65 and 67 fastback that are in pretty good shape. If I could have I would have started with one of your shells. I’ve had mine for some years now and it would have been so much easier just starting off with a fresh shell. Thanks for doing what you do it inspires me to keep working on my cars.

    You need a Pro Spot sponsorship. Also you mig these together? And ever considered an old auto robot or cellette frame rack and fixture set? The fixtures set the parts for height,width and length. Frees the brain up and some less stress. Also ever considered nitride/ salt bath on any of the smaller parts? That finish is very popular and growing in the gun industry. It is black and 100 percent covered and will never rust.

  • @jackdale9831
    @jackdale9831 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah, that's GREAT, but does dynacorn do any AMC parts, like sheet-metal for 1967-70 or '71-74 2nd-gen Javelin parts? Mustangs & Camaros are SO common. I know the Javelin/AMXs were NOT popular, because of the weak-design of oiling to the V-8 mains which led to PROS like Penske to a dry-sump, and finally, an after-market block [Traco] after nearly two dozen main-bearing failures during the Trans-am series! If it IS a Mustang, though, do you ever channel fenders so that the BORING Mustang front is lowered to where you can See where its come from, but it becomes something RAD like a curved, back-sloping-front on the 240-80s "Z"-cars of Nissin/Datsen, plus could you also do Mustang Coupe-mods to where one ends up with a Ponycar WAGON @ the rear, like Car & Driver &, Pontiac did a couple of times? I understand if the Mustang-front was dropped into a curved, slope to the bumper area, you'd have to go to a lower/slanted/both Buick-type radiator to allow for the slope. Had you ever thought of a fastback removable top [ with/without T-tops ] to put on a Mustang Convertible, where the fast-back rear-glass hinges up, so the regular convertible trunk can easily be accessed? Do you ever lengthen the wheelbase of a Mustang? With another 12" of wheelbase, I'll bet an Olds front-drive unit from a '60s-70s Toranado could put "mid-engine" to a '71-73 Sportsroof 'stang, giving more "bite" to counter its bulk. And the 3-D replicator could give you sheet metal in almost any shape/metal.

Looks like you have a "System that Sells for you." If you were selling enough of the shells, a 3-D replicator could make any of the "hard-to-find" parts of those shells. I'm not selling 3-D replicators, but I almost wish I was. A large enough 3-D'll make an exact-copy of any car-part that was ever built, while you're welding-up another shell.
