I finally cued in on your channel yesterday while watching Randys. I used to have a neighbor who did this work in his garage and I really gained an appreciation for what you do. There is sooo much to know that people take for granted. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job Mike! Love the fact that you take your time to do it right. It shows that you want the future owner to get a good, reliable product. Good on you!
This is a great example of American know-how, ingenuity, and pure hard work and experience. A great role model. Kids, get of your backsides, pick up some tools and go to work.
Love that these videos exist. I've always done all my own work on the cars I've had over the years and I'm really learning a lot from you, so thanks to you and your kids for the vids!
I like watching any craftsman doing his work, you are a craftsman in the finest sense of the word. It is obvious you really enjoy what you do and do it with pride, keep it up and even though I know I won't ever do any of it watching someone who does it well is much more enjoyable than watching some silly "reality show" about something that doesn't work.
I worked in body shops and later at Geico Insurance from 1976 to 1998 and like the other guys here I like watching you work. It reminds me of my days in the shop. Nothing the smell of grease and oil and paint fumes and filler in the morning! I loved it! I miss those days. The best part was when my customers came to get their car and seeing the smiles on their faces and them thanking me and the shop for doing a great job. Yeah, I really do miss those days.
I was a body man / Shop owner in the 80's -90's. Kept sayin' hit it here now pull on it there! LOL you follow directions pretty well! Trained on Blackhawk frame machine. Keep it up Bro yer doin' great with limited equipment.
Mike is a true Panel Beater not just change over expert like most panel repairers. When its fixed it will be a sweet Mustang. Love your work learning heaps. Little Aussie Follower
Doing a great job Mike! It's pretty cool to work out of your own home in your own garage :) Freedom! I hope to see you just get really busy! To your success. Cheers! Tim
I have loved this car on Randys channel and how he got it all sorted. I was looking forward to you working the Weird Beard magic on it and was not left disappointed.
Hey man I don't usually comment to much but I just have to tell you your a breath of fresh air on here I'm a little older than most of your subscribers I would guess maybe not but anyway I think you are a very humble stand up guy and I really enjoy the way you work and explain what your doing so the younger guys and gals can get it. Looking forward to seeing how the old stang turns out!!!!
Awesome job takes me back ten years to when I was flipping salvage Auction cars and just like me made do with what I had or could make without spending thousands on specialist tools keep it up mike loving the content
Very good video. Solid information. How to accurately make pulls, measure same model and x it out. Nice use of crescent wrench on rad support. Saves your joints from using visegrips or channel locks.
Hey Mike...I am interested in possibly buying this car when you are done with it. You are doing a great job. Enjoy watching. Looking forward to the next video.
I like to see how you work the metal back. To many of these flippers just do what they have to just to make parts fit such as elongate holes, shim, etc.. The poor sap who buys the vehicle is driving a death trap if involved in another accident. Good work...
Not necessarily, the frame is what provides all the strength. The core support really doesn't which is why so many manufacturers use a bolt in one. Some are even entirely plastic.
@@helivesonforever True, but a kid restoring a Mustang on another channel had a bent frame rail that the damage was hidden behind the reservoirs and he elongated the holes on the core support and fender to make the parts fit without repairing the frame. Also saw it on a Chevy truck. To many who don't know what their doing buy these salvage vehicles and just make them look pretty without proper repairs. aka - "death traps". I even watched a guy literally bondo a rear section on a BMW instead of straightening it until it looked fixed. Even had holes in the metal.
@@rickb8808 Yeah body filler on a frame is ridiculous. I personally don't take the time to get my core supports entirely perfect on the cars I fix, but I get pretty damn close. The only way to get it 100% perfect is to cut them out and weld new metal in. I'll do that on a structural component but not a radiator support. I never have alignment issues and I always throw some paint over any bare metal to prevent rusting. A lot depends on the vehicle I'm going at as well. I'll do my best work on a 3 year old car but might take it a little easier on a 10 year old car with close to 200k miles on it. I'd never sell anything I wouldn't personally drive myself either.
Let's gooooooo weird beirrddd my guy for life S/O to you from Warzone Park Queens NYC following since before you had TH-cam through Big homie Randy videos. The guruuuu working on my favourite car of All time. I still cry for my 94 GT. A blonde shawty took it from me and crashed it my 16 yr old heart broke in 2017 THE 21ST CENTURY FOR A 20TH CENTURY MUSTANG and never came back till Randy said YOU WERE GONNA BRING THIS BABY BACK TO LIFE. IM SOO HYPE EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT MINE LOL. LOVE YOU MAAAAN PLEASE MAKE HER BETTER THAN A FERRARI
WB - hope this channel turns out well. Keep working hard on these videos. You're going to make money not only from re-selling the cars, but your TH-cam channel. I'd buy a car from you if I still lived in OKC!
Mike, look into the affiliate program with Amazon. Then you can link tools like that clamp tool, and some may buy making you a little bit more revenue. You would be doing us a favor by saving from having to look up the tool, so it is a service to your viewers also. Like always, great video!
First off I wanna say it’s nice to see one of these cars put back together right! I’ve been hardcore in mustangs since I was about 14 and owned a ton, and you wouldn’t believe the number of them that are hacked together. So major props for doing it right! I would suggest painting the whole core support or as much as you can, shouldn’t be much more work and will definitely show in the end. Unfortunately, like someone else has said, that hood is off a 99/04 car, and while it will bolt up it won’t fit right in the front, so I would look for one off a 94-98 car. Other than that, great job man, keep it up!
I don’t remember where you guys said you were located at, but I do have the correct hood for that car that I would swap you for the one you have, it is white though. I’m in Ohio.
Ya that was an old hood I had sitting behind the shop for years. Didn’t realize it was different until everyone pointed it out. I thought I was going to save a few bucks. Should have known I wouldn’t be that lucky 😆.
Great job, some of those wrinkles across the top, get a heavy duty C - clamp, block the top and bottom with a few pieces of metal and squeeze the wrinkle out, then finish with body hammer. Make a good chisel out of rebar. Yes what your doing is interesting.
Weird Beard awesome video! Just one point of constructive criticism: When you edit the video, try doing a time lapse for the work, going back to normal speed when you need to explain something. If you need to explain something during the video you can also do a voice over after you get the video done, this will make the transformation look quite good. This will also help cut the time of the video down to a about 15-20min which will help retain viewer retention. Thank you for making these videos for us! Keep up the good work!
Got some skills there with the old hammer there. Suprised that you are going to save the fenders, would love to see video on that as well. Curious if you were actually at a body shop doing work, would it be cheaper to just cut out/replace the core support and replace the fenders??? I know time is $$$$ in a shop environment, sometimes its cheaper to replace parts because the amount of labor needed to fix something would be more than the new part and labor to remove/install.
Audio was much better in previous videos. I think you are doing so interesting stuff so it would be nice to hear it properly. I think you should use similiar audio setup than Randy does.
Hey Mike I don't know where y'all are located at but I'm interested in this car once your done! I've subscribed to you and Randy, awesome people trying to make an honest living and I like that 5.0! I'd rather not give out my information to you here but maybe some way soon we can talk! Me and my wife will have our income tax hopefully soon and are looking for our 3rd daily driver so I can take turns working on each of them lol!
Love your videos but that music is doing my head in keep having to turn down the volume when it comes on not good. I think if it was me I would have just cut that front section out and welded a new/second hand section in place but hell what do I now.
You should also work with smaller flat hammers and a dolly as well. Straighten the wrinkels out while being pulled the thing gets back into shape much easier. If you do not have a dolly you can use a second flat hammer under the metal.
I finally cued in on your channel yesterday while watching Randys. I used to have a neighbor who did this work in his garage and I really gained an appreciation for what you do. There is sooo much to know that people take for granted. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing that metal straightened up is satisfying.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
It's the same car!!
Nice job Mike! Love the fact that you take your time to do it right. It shows that you want the future owner to get a good, reliable product. Good on you!
Enjoy watching you work. Very Competent. Simple and straightforward, Somewhere,Old Italian panelbeaters are smiling.
Love the way you use the equipment and tools that you have to work with. Just fricking awesome! Keep working hard.
This is a great example of American know-how, ingenuity, and pure hard work and experience. A great role model. Kids, get of your backsides, pick up some tools and go to work.

Yeah, I really do miss those days.
It was a good business. I miss it too sometimes.
I would not be surprised if Weird Beard used to be a sculptor amazing stuff!
what an artist!
I was a body man / Shop owner in the 80's -90's. Kept sayin' hit it here now pull on it there! LOL you follow directions pretty well! Trained on Blackhawk frame machine. Keep it up Bro yer doin' great with limited equipment.

Gonna have to start calling you "Teach". Really am enjoying you and your cohort's videos. The dynamic duo. LOL Great job!
It's amazing what you can do with the right tools and knowing what you're doing.
Doing a great job Mike! It's pretty cool to work out of your own home in your own garage :) Freedom! I hope to see you just get really busy! To your success. Cheers! Tim
Loved watching an artist with a sledge hammer at work.

I enjoyed the fact you didn't cut much of the actual banging on the sheet metal. gotta see it to learn bro, thank you! keep up the awesome work.
Great job fella. good old skool repairs. pleasure to watch keep up the good work. love from the UK :)
That's awesome. Can't wait to see this and the blue car quarter panel install
Good job Mike, nice work with the hammers.
These Awesome Videos addicting. Mike you are the Man. Im Learning so much.👍👍👍
Great work on the ‘stang .... good to see that back on the streets soon
Looking good already, cant wait for the finish! Good work.

LOVE that DIY frame puller!
Great filming and editing!
Not an Aussie, a native Pacific Northwesterner.
Finally someone whos not afraid of the death wheel lol, awesome video Mike good job man
Glad you have the patience to work it out. I would've just bought a new support and welded it in.
Those hose clamp pliers really are great. Got some from Sears hardware, they are not cheap
anybody else duck when mike drew the hammer back and it got close to the camera hahaha
Weird beard frame puller works well done brilliant
I would trust a man like this rather than a “body shop” no overhead and nobody is pushing him to get things done fast and as cheap as possible.
Very good video. Solid information. How to accurately make pulls, measure same model and x it out. Nice use of crescent wrench on rad support. Saves your joints from using visegrips or channel locks.
Hey Mike...I am interested in possibly buying this car when you are done with it. You are doing a great job. Enjoy watching. Looking forward to the next video.
Congrats on 10k subs! Hope you hit 100k soon! Your content is awesome!
Fantastic content buddy and camera person well done you've come a long long way in such a short time well done guys 👍👍👍👍👍
Young Dude doing Old School Bodywork! I love it!!!!!
That high point on the left side, cut it with a thin grinding disc, beat it flat and then weld it up and buff the weld down!!!
Hey Weird Beard. Great job on the front end. Enjoyed your video.
This was fun to watch, good job!
Looking good Mike! Awesome Channel!
Awesome video as always man. Love watching you work wish I could do the stuff you do looks like fun and a lot of work at the same time
Love from Denmark, nice work great content.

Great work man

You should be using an air hammer with a flat end on it to get those tight spots out.

Hi Mike: are you sure your real name isn’t McGuyver.
I loved the way you used a combination of everyday tools, to straighten the rad support.
Dam Bro, Nice Work!
Props for the beard!!
Fine art with sledgehammers. Are you going to reweld the 2 sheets of the core support back together?
Yes
Thanks!! Great content!!
Its like watching plants grow
Keep up the work
Love your videos but that music is doing my head in keep having to turn down the volume when it comes on not good.

You should also work with smaller flat hammers and a dolly as well. Straighten the wrinkels out while being pulled the thing gets back into shape much easier. If you do not have a dolly you can use a second flat hammer under the metal.
I was using a dolly on most of it. Kinda hard to see it.
Did not see it sorry!
No worries man
That hood is from a much newer mustang. The sn95 had little holes on the sides of the "cowl", that hood is from the 99-04 or whatever
Exactly what I was going to say. He needs one from a 94-98 model.
He will fund out hard way
