- Always wanted a classic Fastback Mustang? Here is how you can affordably build one.
My Instagram I put lots of updates here: www.instagram....
A complete illustrated parts guide to the Coupe to Fastback Conversion can be downloaded here: coupetofastbac...
My coupe buying guide, a detailed check list for buying just the right coupe for the conversion is here: coupetofastbac...
I have just published an illustrated parts guide book complete with pro tips, illustrations, measurements, and parts numbers. You can download it here: coupetofastback.gumroad.com/l/fjoxw
Scott Harness: I have a 1967 True 200 cid Secretary's Mustang. How, Easy or Difficult to remove the body?
For a guy who said he’s not gonna waste your time, you wasted a-lot of time repeatedly saying what your not going to say , first quarter of the video is nothing
You can lien sale a car and get a title or get a tow company to help you do it in more restrictive states
Why does the title say 6 and you say 7 so
How does somebody who says “I won’t waste your time!” And “I’ll get right into it!” Numerous times within the first minute of the video take so long to get into the actual topic of the video 😂
If you think watching a video is hard don’t even try this Mustang conversion. It’ll take way more than a minute! 😜
Scott Gotem lol
@@ScottHarness1 or get to the point
the following year.......69 they knocked it outta the park. cant believe they would try to recreate this but not the iconic legend that was 69 fb
Definitely please continue this series! I’m 22 and my dad is 53, I’ve always wanted to be able to build and give him a 68 fastback for his 60th birthday/retirement. This is a way I could get that done!!
What a great goal!!! I will be posting one a week maybe two. Thank you for the interest!
New video just up. th-cam.com/video/iKa3bt7Srso/w-d-xo.html
16:15 i'l be 64 in 2 months do one for me too!
Subscribed. Man I’ve wanted a fastback forever but don’t think I’ll ever save the money to get one. Thank you for this!!
The conversion is seriously the most economical way and it is much less difficult than most believe.
I’m going to do this, just trying to decide between mechanic school or auto collision school (my main focus is on sheet metal since I want a reliable car with a unique body)
💯 correct on rusty fastbacks being expensive as hell. From California looking nationwide
It has done nothing but gotten worse. Today just titles are valuable.
This is awesome!…I’m really looking forward to following this channel and hopefully maybe getting my dream car using these methods! thanks!
Thank you! You can do it!
If you can, find Mercury Cougars. Same as a Mustang, but more unique. Otherwise, this way of building a fastback makes a lot of sense.
Im a 100% Mopar guy. But this makes me want to build fastbacks on the side to fund my Mopar projects!!
Heck yeah. It is such a rewarding build.
Hi Scott definitely going to follow you i just bought myself i believe a California special 1968 coupe GT with original A/C power steering and foglamps 289 engine
Man that's great, welcome to the family. We'll all learn a lot along the way I bet. Thank you.
This was always my dream car, rather go the coupe way and build it like you did🔥
Absolutely! I think my goal with these videos was to show how common people like us that it is very possible to have a fastback. Thanks for the comment and feedback!
Wow great job please invest and continue these videos
Thank you! Just posted my latest video today. th-cam.com/video/iKa3bt7Srso/w-d-xo.html
I like it. Seems pretty accurate, look forward to future videos!
Thank you! There are more to come. Think it’ll really help the learning curve for the conversion.
Scott, love your videos! Where would I find a fastback like the ones you build available for purchase already built.
I see them on Marketplace from time to time. A buildable fastback is in the $20-30k range.
hello sir , ive alwayn each quarter and a bunch of surface rust but zero cancer absolutly zeros wanted a FB. Ive had 2 square backs , a 67 and a 70. im a 40 yr start tyo finish body guy that specialized in structural panel replacement. unibody and full frame repairs, ive been looking at the conversion route for 6 months, judt as long as i bought my last67 (second one so this is my 3rd coupe) this one iis nice it has all its origanol quarters ,wheel houses and rockers with only a silver dollar size patch . it has no options am i a fool to cut it up origanol 289,c4, no air no power windows.? i have a 4 bay shop in new york doing daily repair work and [ersonal restos there. i might slide one or 2 of these a year if i can get help with the ins and outs? looking forward to speaking with you.thank you resprctfully M.Stufano.
Hey Mike, it’s a super rewarding adventure converting these cars.
I am doing a video in the summer using the coupe inner structures with a panel bridge that I make. You can convert the sheet metal from the coupe to the fastback for about $2k. I’ll publish a guide, make parts available, and do a video series… it’s going to be epic.
@@ScottHarness1 I apologize for my sloppy tying,my laptop is on the fritz and I was closing down at the same time. I have a decent back log of jobs but surely would not complain of having senior experienced in these models offering assistance with the more productive ways for the vehicles to flow, being available for consult has me pretty excited! Especially with this article having some days on it your comment timing shows your motivated to bey these ars driving again, not sitting going to rust as they were, I don’t have to say that with a Different roofline these cars will be driven a lot more than they were.A little off topic but I’m doing a 49 Ford F1 on a Fatman chassis rite now, I’m putting a 67-69 mustang a/c dash in it now! I could go on but I won’t.Looking forward to the. Ext time we speak
I got a guy in Lake Havasu that does the conversion for around 10k including metal so your about there.
Yeah that's the current going rate...I wouldn't doubt that increasing as parts increase. Gas prices and shipping complications are all going to be a factor soon...
Looking forward to the build
Thank you!!! You guys really make it worth it.
Glad you’re doing this series. Question, will this series be on building up to just a roller? I can understand that just being 7k min.
My plan is to complete the build of the 1968 with the same theme, affordable, street-able build. I’m toying around at converting a 1965 coup to fastback as well…
Great video.
Any chance you have a recommendation for a shop in my area to undertake this project? I live in Virginia Beach, VA. Love the videos. Thanks
Unfortunately I don't. Shops are really hard to find. So sorry...
The how starts at 2:45
You are correct, some buyers will NOT care that the car was once a coup. I have a 68 coup and would never convert it because it is way too good shape. But paying stupid amounts of money for a real fastback is up to the buyer, be my guest if that is your desire in my view.
Also people are stupid, there will be guys out there that will create what I call "paint job cars" they will paint over rust, do shit body work that will look good for the first 5 months after painted. NO, do your own work, create your own value. Your series will do well for those who can !
Truth and more truth.
I HAD A 1965 CONVERTIBLE MUZZ ,,, BUT,,, I WANTED TO MAKE A FASTBACK HARD TOP FOR IT
WELL SMALL PROBLEM YOU CANT OPEN THE BOOT HAHA , BUT GOT OVER IT,
IT JUST PLAIN OLD SAT ON THE BODY WITH SOME CORVETTE HARDTOP PINS ETC AND LOCKED ON
I HAD TO MAKE (ADJUST) THE VETTE (C3 ) HARD TOP TO FIT ,,, USING THE OLD MUZZ FASTBACK WRECK I BOUGHT FOR ,,,EEEEEEEK £400, NOT EASY BUT I DID IT,
I SHAPED THE HARD TOP TO A FASTBACK STYLE (THE VETTE TOP IS METAL) , AND TRIMMED IT (ITS MY JOB)
AND ADDED THE REAR WINDOW FROM THE OLD STANG (CHOP A BIT OFF HERE AND THERE,)
THE FRONT OF THE HOOD WAS HINGED SO YOU COULD LIFT AND PROP THE TOP OPEN, SO YOU COULD OPEN THE BOOT (TRUNK) AND FASTEN IT DOWN WITH NASCAR HOOD PINS , SO WHY DIDNT I USE THE OLD FASTBACK WRECKED ROOF, THINKING ABOUT IT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER, BUT WAS OFFERED MONEY FOR THE OLD MUZZ AS IT WAS (WINDOWLESS) BUT PRETTY BENT
I SOLD IT 12 YEARS LATER FOR £30,000 ,(WELL CHUFFED) AND IT TURNED UP IN PALE BLUE WITH STRIPES , AND FETCHED 120,000 DOLLARS IN USA
AND IT SAID
THE ONLY ONE OFF SOFT TOP FASTBACK MUSTANG IN THE WORLD ,,, PHEW , ITS DO ABLE , TRY IT
THIS WAS BACK IN THE 80'S, THERES A SOFT TOP NEAR WHERE I LIVE ,ALL IN BITS 7 GRAND AND RUSTLESS,,,,,,SHOULD I DO IT AGAIN)?????????YES
BUT THIS TIME ILL BUY THE FASTBACK KIT THEN IT WILL BE A DODDLE ,

I understand what he’s saying and I like his videos and appreciate what he’s doing, but here in the western states, you’re not finding good condition coupes for $2,700. Furthermore, the interior parts for a fastback conversion are another $3,000-$4,000. We converted my brothers 67, it’s easy to do, but he spent $8k on a coupe six banger, then another $9-$10k to do the complete conversion (interior and exterior). It is definitely cheaper than buying an original, but do your homework, based on my experience it’s not as cheap as it sounds, and unless you are in a large metro that has a big classic car appetite, selling old mustang parts from the coupe isn’t that easy.
You can build a fastback for much less. Especially the coupe purchase. I just did a quick search of market place and found five coupes $2500 or less. They were In Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas. You can source a complete interior for a Fastback less the front seats for under $1500. You can spend as much as you want but there are ways of spending much less. For instance you can use your coupe interior and just add the vent panels. The numbers I used were real numbers and what I actually spent. I have helped dozens of people do the same. I do agree on doing the homework part.
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.
Since you are removing the coupe structure, any way you can sell me the structural parts that go under the sail panel/B pillar? The ones that weld to the top of the wheelhouse. Both of mine are rusted out on my 67 coupe and I cannot find anyone that remakes that part.
Unfortunately mine is gone already. I do have a 67 coup parts car. Let me look at it and see.
Scott Harness: I have a 1967 True 200 cid Secretary's Mustang. How, Easy or Difficult to remove the body?
There are skills involved but it’s not impossible for even a novice. Taking your time is the key…
We went from $6,000 to $7,000 in the first sentence..... AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😜 lols....$7, 000 ain't bad ...But I am confused.... I have worked on many that brought Top money in Scottsdale....and yes even 20 year's ago or so they were ridiculous.... mind you I wasn't a player just a laborer...😎
Yeah somewhere between the video and the thumbnail we lost $1000! Lol. That's how it is with Mustangs, you look at the parts one month and go to order them the next and they are a grand more. It was my mistake...
Somewhat joking.. I know how is....😎
How do I get the parts list to convert the coupe to a fastback. I am really needing the measurements. I also would like the steps to doing this.
Email me at ThatPastor@gmail.com and I can send it to you.
The whole "no title" issue has always bothered me. Doesn't the dmv keep records of that stuff?? Like, if you lose your drivers lisence, you don't have to apply all over again. You just have to request a new one. I fucking hate laws like this, I call them "rusting regulations". Many good bikes have turned to rust because of stupid stuff like this.
Yeah if the government had to compete for business like a business it would be out of business. I have a car currently that has no title and I will be clawing up this hill soon. I don’t look forward to it.
@@ScottHarness1 easy disagree. I feel like you're stepping into libertarian fantasy land.
Let's say I want to buy a car, any car. I should be able to go to the DMV, with the vin of the car. Ask the DMV who the owner is. But you can't. This is nuts.
If I want to buy a car, and it has a plate, I should be able to find out information on the car that way, but I can't either.
Now if I was a cop, I can run the plate.
Well, if you have a friend who's a cop, he may run the plate for you.
@@jesse75 well, I don't really like the idea of random citizens getting my personal information from my plates. However, when it comes to getting cars and especially bikes, the original owners are long gone and the people who have the bike bought it from their next of kin for scrap. Finding the next of kin is one thing but then convincing them to produce the evidence required to have the title transfered to their name and subsequently yours which costs a lot of money and you'll likely have to give them financial Compensation for their time and effort. Finally, you'll have little left at that point to do anything. Easiest thing to do is just find a car with a title or try to pass it off as a custom build and get it registered separately.
@@varun009 let's say I see you. You did something shady, or I just wanted to know.
I followed you. You go into your house. I can go to the county register and find out your name, or who owns the house.
Anyone can do that.
There's no privacy like you think.
I'm with you about privacy about a car. Maybe it shouldn't be possible for everyone to go around checking on each other. But maybe it's a good thing ?
I understand curtilage law also.
You would think I'd be the other way around.
Where nobody gets to know who's living in the house, but the car is out in public.
I don't like the fact, that if anyone has the address to my house, they can look inside and see the layout because it's widely published in real state websites and can find out who lives there.
Inside my house and yours should be private. But it isn't.
Sorry for the read. I was in the country. Saw some vacant property. Went down. Found the owner. Wrote him a letter stating how I found his name and address. He sold me the property.
My friend sold me a dirt bike. Had a plate. Found out the address of the owner. Send him a letter. Told him how I got his address. Told him I would send him and pay him what was needed to get the title.
He sent me the title.
What's the big deal ? Let's say I want to buy a car. Sure the guy has the title, but shouldn't I just be able to go to the DMV and see if it's been stolen ?
I know where a couple of old dusty cars are. Should be able to go to DMV and find out who owned the cars.
I can go down and trace back all the history of a house, it's on micro fish, but you can't on a car ?
Marti report is just like a birth certificate.
Hey I just did an electr job, and got my first car. It was a67 mustang it's not one like it it's my car from 92 now he has a fast back sitting with a 429 you can get that car cheap 15 with the motor. He's needing money but it's in ky. Was very nice body but has work to be done. Contact me, I can get you that car and motor for cheap. But I'm watching you to coupe to fb and restomod.
That's a great car, I have three that I need to get something done with before I can do anything else. Thank you!
Why not buy a Dynacorn body for $17,500?
You could but you’ll need all the other parts that come in a good coupe. The small parts are a fortune. A ground up buy every part build from a Dynacorn shell would be $100,000
@@ScottHarness1 thank you
I guess this video is just an infomercial for the next video nnnkay?
Read the title… sound it out.
What about coupe to convertible?
It’s possible. The parts are available, you’ll have to modify frame rails and buy all the sheet metal but the mustang platform in general is the same.
Whats the name of the shop that coverts for $9800?
Lost Socket Garage. Tell them I sent you. They’ll treat you right.
Better add an “e” to that coup or you’re gonna get arrested.
I know trying to make a Fastback and instead sowing political unrest!
How can I contact you, either by phone or email?
You can email me and I’ll send you the parts list. My email is in the video’s description.
I America only not Australia no way
Not true. I have several people converting mustangs in Australia. If you haven't done it you don't know...
Video could of been 3 minutes. You talk like you’re explaining to 5 years olds.
Lol. Sorry I’ll try harder. How exactly do you explain things to “5 years olds”?
@@ScottHarness1 in all fairness good content. I was just suggesting it was somewhat repetitive. Keep it going, will be building a 68 soon.
So, not going to waste my time? 3:30 and still spewing toro poo poo. You are telling me how to build squat.
Yeah, if thats hard don’t even try building a fastback it’ll take way longer than three minutes.
Crome that is,don't like this spell checker
OMG bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Try the cartoon channel.
@@ScottHarness1 LOL!! My thoughts exactly!
Just get to the point.
You can order the lists here and you don’t have to worry about watching. app.gumroad.com/products
Get to the damn point Already
I am a fourth-grade Korean student majoring in mechanical engineering. I am planning to stay in Canada for a year to build an Eleanor based on the first generation Mustang Coupe and bring it to Korea. The budget is $50,000. Currently I am watching a lot of restoration videos and getting motivated. Thank you for your great videos.
That’s awesome. Post pictures when you get started! Praying for you.
This is a little confusing for Americans because 4th grade for us is elementary school, like 10-11 years old. I'm guessing you mean college? Like 4th year?
Damn i was still playing with my power rangers in fourth grade, when I could’ve been building a fast back
Man you're so cool...God Bless
The 67 Fastback is my dreamcar and you've encouraged 10x more to aquire one.......Much love
Thank you my friend!!!! If I can help answer questions or whatever let me know.
Please continue with the series! Im definitely interested in doing this. Im always eager to learn all there is about these fastbacks. Finally someone willing to educate about this process
Absolutely! New video will be up every Monday!
Just posted another video in this series today. th-cam.com/video/iKa3bt7Srso/w-d-xo.html
Do it!! I'm giving a 70 Mach 1 to my father for his 70th next month
I had a 67 Mustang coupe but sold it back in the 80's, I'd prefer another coup if I could find one. as I don't like the fast back.
Great information Scott! I think that most of the negative comments here are from people that spend more time trolling YT vids than they spend with a wrench in their hand! And they probably all voted for Joe Bidumb and Caramel Useless..
LOL! truth!
you talk a lot but don't say much. geesh
I understand. You need to find videos that use smaller and fewer words. My kids use to love Teletubbies, they hardly talked at all.
@@ScottHarness1 Cool but no, some people just love to hear themselves talk...
Keep it coming Scott! Interested to see your pov on converting. Agreed the FB vin’s are out of control (I’ve seen $30k for rust bucket rollers!) although we’ll see if that holds once inflation levels out again. Used autos are +40% vs last year! 🤯 Great time to build cheap and sell high
Thank you Alex, you are absolutely right. The high valuation of Fastbacks makes the conversion so much more viable.I hope I can flatten the learning curve so the average joe can tackle it.
It's absolute BS on prices of rust bucket FBs and Chargers. 9 times out of 10 you go to look at one and it's at a mobile home meth lab.
Here in Australia a coupe roller is around 20k
I have heard that…it’ll be worth more in the end as well.
well sir, why don't i just give you 20k and you let me know when its finished?? lol, but for real
Your title needs to be changed to you can possibly built a coupe to fastback ROLLING SHELL for $6000. There are so many other pieces you don’t have!
The title is how to build THIS mustang. A roller fastback for $6k is incredible. Right?
@@ScottHarness1 I am building a 67 fastback and I also went even a cheaper way and have a fastback ownership car. You are spot on that there are ways of getting a fastback through buying and selling the parts you don't need, as I bought a coupe for $9300 and sold the parts I didn't want for $11,500. As I am also doing a coyote swap I sold the whole driveline front to back and the original coupe parts that I don't need for the fastback. Looking forward to see your build!
@@badharryshideaway3665 Now that is the way to do it. The beauty of the increasing value of VIN Fastbacks is parts are also increasing in value. It really makes it possible to us average people to build a car for way less. Thank you for the follow and insight.
Este es un listo de esos que hay que anuncian coches de 30k por 6k…fastback por 6k no existe !! Deberían cerrarte el canal por publicidad engañosa LISTO QUE ERES UN LISTO!!
@@javipulido252 lol! It’s setting in my shop as we speak… watch the video and you’ll see how.
You are just torking and torking and repit your selv all the time witauth getting ennyway
I just outlined in this video exactly how to build this car for what the thumbnail advertised. No torque wrenches were used.
I bought my own 70 fastback about 10 to 15 years ago had a 4 speed with a good running 302 V8 had some rust on rear quarters but I replaced them done some body work and repainted it and recovered the seats new rack and pinion steering new carb new 3 wall radiator new crime bumpers . I gave $1500 for it I have about $5 or 6 k in it but it's worth that and more .
Way more!!!
Where’s part 2 to this ? I really enjoyed it ❤ 🇬🇧
The entire series is in that play list. Thank you for the comments!
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 love the fast forward feature on this app!
there's a company where i live making classic broncos completely aftermarket selling for like up to 250k. These are new cars built in 2023 with no original vin. I think fastbacks will reach that point. As the market gets smaller and smaller ppl are still going to want them. Of course those broncos have the 5.0 coyote and dana 60 axles, and the complete works
I absolutely believe you are right. The price point for the conversions are sky rocketing. The parts will become super expensive soon enough. Fastback mustangs as far as muscle cars go are way more expensive than the others (not talking about very unique cars but general muscle cars) with that price point and people's desire to have one it makes sense that they will be a reproduction car soon.
buy a coupe, part it out. buy a fastback conversion kit. now you dont have to waste 20min of your life listening to him tell you that. you're welcome
LOL. Come on Mikie, you got to get some joy in your life. No need to be such a little kill joy. Put a smile on and enjoy the day. Like those suits, looking sharp.
He said it @3:40 had you paid attention.
Hey looking forward to the A to Z FB project!!!
Good video, why not just buy a new Dynacorn Mustang Fastback shell?
You sure can they are $17,500 plus shipping for the shell alone. Moreover the small parts that will be on the coupe will save you literally thousands. It’s a more expensive way.
Is it possible to even build a coupe for under 20 k anymore considering I can’t even find rusty cars in Ireland considering import fees if you were to import one in here it’s crazy
I have heard that, everything has skyrocketed.
At 1:19, you've already wasted 1:19 of my time telling me what I've already read in the title...
I should have asked you before I made the video. Silly me.
@@ScottHarness1 You should not treat your patrons time as worthless... Just go already, how hard would that be?
@@MatHelm Not sure what you're saying. The video length is advertised on the front in if you're not willing to invest that time don't.
Huge Mustang fan and I have to say fastbacks are cool but NOT $150,000 cool!
Agreed!
So if I were to send 7k to 10k you can build a FB or what would be the price ?
So sorry, I barely have time to work on mine. You’re better off following the videos and doing it yourself. You can do this!
I hit a home run a year ago i found a barn find 65 2 + 2 manufacturer daye is September 18 1964 so it is one of the first few weeks of fastback production. Solid numbers matching car. C code 4 speed. The intior looks almost new. No rips no tears no cracks in dash. 10k the older gentleman i got it from didn't know the current market price or this car would have cost 30k
That is an incredible deal. Always a good investment.
I've been on the fence about doing this simply because I'm a beginner. I am now going to give it a shot
With the information in so many of these videos and a community of help here you can do this!
My husband is so lucky. He has a 69 FB in the garage...... its so nice.
Yes! They are getting harder and harder to find that are in good shape.
Got a couple here for 2500 good shape roller it's rough in a few places but I feel as I stood it it was raining and driving and some 1 took it all part it need a few sheet metal it was thinking about making a fast back but your so right about cost to Profit ratio Looking to make money off this car eventually
Seriously the conversion is the most profitable solution. It’s getting even better as Fastbacks continue to climb in value.
Actually already have a 67 coupe and am doing this. I also have a wrecked 2012 i am kicking around the idea about using the roller front end frame and floorboard under it
Will definitely be watching. Haven’t order conversion kit yet
Next video will go up Monday, it’s about selecting the right coup to convert but I am working on a video on what exactly you need to order for the conversion. It should be out in a couple weeks. Wait for it before you order, there are things you don’t need and can save you a ton. There are also ways to couple any other big parts and save big on shipping.
@@ScottHarness1 coupe, not coup
This is awesome! I didn't even know you could convert a coupe to fastback and the fastback is my dream car. I was just gonna settle for a notch back but now I'm definitely gonna try this when I get one
Yes, it is absolutely the best way to have an incredible Fastback!
Lol. It will cost more then that to get the shell of a mustang fastback
Truth.
I have owned my current FB since 1992. I love it
If I provided you with a 1968 coupe what would you charge me to turn it into a fast pack
I wish I had the time. There are shops out there that do it…
Lost socket garage does them
On TH-cam
Being the owner of a real fb that I recently restored I find this topic interesting. I agree with everything you have said in this video except that you failed to rake in to account all of the unique fb parts that you would need to acquire for the conversion that you likely would already have with the real fb. Glass, window trim, interior pieces, etc. Not needing any of this for my car I'm not sure what all this would cost but it has to added to the cost. What do you think it would cost to completely finish one of these conversions?
Most if the sub $20k Fastbacks I find have tons of missing parts. It’s hit or miss how much glass or interior there will be at that price point. Just looked at a 1967 FB that was $18k no glass, one door missing, no interior no front fenders, rusted rear quarters. The valuation of FB’s is on the rise. That makes the conversion even more of a good idea. As far as completing the car It really depends on the builder. If the builder wants to really try to do a fastback clone they can but so many who go this route aren’t trying to make a duplicate fastback as much a having the fastback body style and modify the rest. Most want a fastback that they can drive and not be in a car that $50k and up. For me I’m doing a very modified car with tons of modern components. My objective and budget is finished and driving for under $20k.
I really need a 67...I'll be complete
Yes!!! And honestly with the sky rocketing prices of VIN Fastbacks the conversion is the absolute best way to have one.
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.
Happy I found this great video, I just purchased a coup and that same fastback kit, definitely need all the info I can find
Yes! I will be posting a video each week showing the process in hopes that I can save you time and money!
Looking forward to this! At 22 (1977) i bought mine. Red/red 67 GT 390 4 spd. Pass everything but a gas station. Paid $1085. Yeah. Loved that car
I think all of us have those memories and that’s maybe what motivates us to build one.
You appear to be GENUINELY passionate about these builds. That’s rare in todays social media platforms. Subscribed.
We’ll thank you! That’s super encouraging!
@@ScottHarness1 good morning Sir, do you do any of these conversations for anyone else.
Owning a fastback was always a dream of mines , this is perfect
Seriously this is a way to make it happen.
Thanks Pastor Scott, I traded a 4post lift for a 68 and 67 coupe and they are ROUGH, but not to be dissuaded I’m going forward the coupe for my wife and the fastback conversion for me, I was an aircraft mechanic for years before switching to HVAC, yes I know your asking why, another story another time. I love the Lord and wanted more time for Him, anyways thank you for this series, most videos just gloss over the actual process and for a knuckle dragged like me I need things explained to me like a six year old. Oh by the way my name is Bennie Collins and I’m the cofounder of Smoky Mountain Stangs in Sevierville Tennessee I have had a few mustangs and think these cars are the best.
I love it! Two GREAT projects. Keep me updated on your progress. Is Smoky Mountain Stangs a local group or is it open beyond local? I looked it up on FB and I think you guys are a local group. I bet driving through the Smoky Mountains would be an incredible trip in a vintage mustang mod.
@@ScottHarness1 I think so to, we do a lot of cruises, come visit you won’t be disappointed, I approved your membership on Facebook, and we’re excited to see more videos about the mustangs and your ministry. Thanks again for the great content.
@@jjmommelcollins3877 Thank you for the add, I think a bucket list deal would be after I get my car finished to come and do a run with you guys!
Is this a typo.
Your add reads 6000?
I would blame it on inflation but its probably me messing up the graphic.
First off, awesome videos! Own a 68 coupe and I’m looking to do this conversion. Located in Southern California, do you know any shops here that offer this type of work?
I don't really know of a shop in your area. I have thought about building a network of shops that do the conversion that I could recommend in various areas but haven't gotten that nailed down yet.
I just bought a fastback roller for 4k.... on Saturday
Can you use a covertible
You can and it would be stronger because the convertible has a better inner frame however a convertible is valued close to a fastback, so you might convert it and in the end the convertible would have been worth more restored than converted.
I’m in Utah and you have my attention. Can you share the details of your Utah contact for the roller?
Lost Socket Garage builds them in your neck of the woods. Great guys.
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?
😎🏴☠️
As i am watching this. I just bought 2 fastbacks for 14k total. But it took me forever. My last fastback i paid 14k just for rust bucket.
I think you could sit in a fastback and make more money in the long haul than keeping it in the bank. Good purchases…
Awesome video
Thank you!!
Scott, your on the money with your knowledge...I'm in Cali and my buddy owns over a 100 original mustangs and fastbacks, 25k for a roller is only if your lucky loll, real mustang guys won't argue with you because they know what you know, only the trolls talk smack. I have a 69 coupe and a 67 cougar, and their both amazing. great work on the build
Are any of those 100 for sale. Im looking to buy a 65-67 fastback asap. Has the run great tho. But not perfect exterior. But preferably a straight body. Doesnt need to have a paint job
@@OfficialXPage yes they are. Absolutely...look up MustangMD out in Castaic CA, his name is Paul. Tell him I sent you,
Absolute facts!
Its spelled coupe, not coup
Yeah, originally I was trying to over throw the government but wound up just building a mustang.
I saw an S-code 67 fastback on eBay. It was in horrible condition. No floor. No front fenders, Dented roof and B pillar, no axles, no wheels, no engine. It sold for just over $15,000. But hey, at least it had a clean title.
Absolutely that is the trend!
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...
Hi, great info! Thanks!! For sharing
Thank you.
Subscribed!!! Looking to do one of these next year
It really is much more in the reach of people than dropping the cash a VIN fastback is getting now.
