This time he should try to finish it, even if it looks bad or something or Mustang build will keep bothering him the rest of his life....🤣🤣. I really like this channel and i am not complaining or anything but it was so funny to me when Ben sold that 1st mustang that he was building and people came to pick up the "mustang" and it was actually just a few body panels laying on the trailer 😅🤣🤣
I have major respect for your ability to accept your mistakes, then moving forward...especially without a bunch of "woulda, coulda,shoulda nonsense. Good job Ben.
I think you're the only TH-cam car builder that is humble enough to admit that you've made mistakes. Kudos to you for your honesty. Merry Christmas to you and your family! I'm looking forward to great things coming to your channel in 2025!
So this latest attempt is actually version 3. I’d say he’s butchered this car so badly it’s almost best to scrap it and start from scratch with another donor? Maybe you can get absolutely everything for it and he’s good at alignment but it’s hacked and probably needs to be converted to a fastback to justify the work.
Not sure if you’ve seen Peterson restoration on TH-cam but he rebuilds completely rusted out mustang shells, huge inspiration and good info for a big long term project like this. Very cool to see what you do different this time
VTuned is one of the best collision specialists I've seen. It's been hard watching him try his hand at custom builds. The amount of planning and engineering involved in projects of this magnitude is completely under-appreciated. Rock on, Ben... learn as you go. Us keyboard "experts" will heckle the whole friggin time.
Nice to see you back on the Mustang! Sounds like thinking it through a little more has helped and have a good plan to make this build sick. Take your time! No need to rush stuff for us... do it in stages and pause if that helps
Man I gave up hope of you finishing her, so glad to see you don't quit! Excited to see where you go with this build! Actually liked your front split bumper idea, looked like a track car very original.
Good Luck. You should have a livestream and maybe get some advice from your viewers on this build, discuss your vision for it, maybe sketch out some illustrations, manifest it man I know you can do it. Will it into existence.
This will be fun Ben, no getting around that. The following is just my 2¢ worth: I would get your new compressor back online so you’re can take advantage of it. I would then put a bug in your friends ear about a fixture table, or secure metal that you’re comfortable will do the job on the Mustang and any future projects. If you do build your own, maybe you could build it to be adjustable for other builds. Just a thought. You’ll obviously figure it all out. Merry Christmas to you, yours & all your fellow subscribers!
I loved your “mad scientist” first run at this. Anyone can install oem or repro parts. Building a weird custom car is a fun thing to see. But I’m glad you’re back in it and can’t wait to see the results. 😊👍👍
Happy you're back on the mustang, I subscribed to your channel when you started this build. I really like your videos when you showcase your skills in fabricating and frame and body panels, don't care much about the flips and easy stuff you transitioned too. I went from can't wait for the next tune video to not so interested. Please give us the old vtune in 2025
No mistakes Ben, just learning experiences! If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed, then side shift and put the stang away again. You’re a talent Ben, don’t listen to the armchair quarterbacks, your ability will shine in the end on your terms! Merry Christmas to all the V-tune channel!
Very good to see this Hoss Boss Mustang! Surprisingly, I thought that it was gone. But you've grown and your business has grown too, so, hope we see this one to completion.
So excited to see you back on it! Live the ambition but maybe a simple resto mod with bolt/weld ons would be the best bet. I see full blown car shops struggling to get done custom builds like this so you being a 1 man show just make it easy on yourself and keep it simple!
I liked everything you did stylistically and the direction you were going with this build. I wouldn't mind if you just finished it and didnt change it. What made me watch is the fact that this mustang wasn't like every other mustang out there. The custom bumper the widebody all of that stuff was awesome.
Mr vtune, I am so glad that you are working on the mustang again and that you are going to take time and care on finishing this project can be the car that you put heart and soul in too.
Front flare definitely needs to come up to match the rear one. It'll look better that way. I can't believe you're back working on the mustang, I'm super stoked!
I think the front flare looks better than the rear. If it was me I would keeps the flares to the size of the front one and find a narrower axle or shorten the one you already have. That way you can make it exactly the width you need.
@@mikemocon8582 both flares look bad honestly but the front one leaves too little clearance for bigger wheels. Look up restomods like the Ruffian mustangs, they have bigger arches and they compliment the car a lot.
I’d go with the rear flares looking more like the front. I’m just think it will flow better. I do like where he was/is going with the front bumper. Please put whippers on it, more fun to play in the rain.
Merry xmas as well, Ben. Been subscribed for maybe 5 years, watch every episode even painting the forklifts. That said, the mustang seems like a lost cause. Buy one of those new/old mustang reproduction bodies and do your magic on that. More bread, but less work, clean straight metal. That’s my 2 bits. But I’ll watch either way.🎄
I’ll be honest Ben you’re very talented of all the Car TH-cam videos you’re definitely talented and should be far,please Don’t hold back challenge yourself more and it’s great that you’re back on working on this build all the best definitely behind you a 1000% love from South Ahh 🇿🇦
Good to see you giving this another go...get the bros out to give you some help if you feel it getting the best of you again. I don't mind the size of the rear flares but you do what you think look best
I'd love if this channel were to migrate from mostly collision repair to more custom stuff, Ben's definitely got the skills necessary to build some sick rides, just needs to work on planning the builds better... and we need more custom builders on here...
After seeing everything you are unhappy with such as the fire wall and after thought about pedals, and the rear end, it makes more and more sense to do a body swap to the automatic you wanted.
Definitely strengthen that table. Get some triangles going to better support the length. And give it a quick spray in black paint so it looks as good as the car will!
I'm so glad that you are back on it. I thought your fab work was good, it was the design that was a bit off. Keep the front bumper and the front flares. Keep it going. You had a great vision of what you wanted. Stick to it. I thought that you were going with a sort of Ken Block mustang look with super wide flares. I liked it.
There is alot of aftermarket body panels that will be much lighter. Also. Tin soldiers. Strange. Moser. Quick performance and others will make you a rear housing and width you want. Get the wheel you want to use. Put them under the car where you want them to be. Then measure between the wheels and that is the overall width rear you want.
Need to replace the solid shaft that connects the steering box to the steering column with a collapsible steering shaft. With a collapsible shaft, if the car is ever involved in a frontal collision the shaft will collapse instead of the steering column/wheel slamming into the driver.
This isn't episode 1. I hope you finish this build. I was so into it and then you just quit on it out of nowhere. Led to me to stop watching your videos.

Actually, the OG of the channel knows that this is v2.0, there was a v1.0 which was cut in a half at the middle. So we are waiting v3.0 to be born :)
I think he’s actually gone through 3 old ones and 2 new ones (that he was going to “join together”) in the past 5 years
The first version that was split in two was the greatest youtube content😂
Then he lost his mind when people said it was a terrible idea and never spoke about it again lol
@@conor7154and B is for Build did tthis type of extension no problem
So this latest attempt is actually version 3. I’d say he’s butchered this car so badly it’s almost best to scrap it and start from scratch with another donor?

This one pretty close to completion. @@markbennett6658

No fricken way we’re getting it back
Good to see back on this project.
A festivus miracle
Instead of a metal pole it’s a pile of metal. A true miracle 😅
Nice to see you back on the Mustang! Sounds like thinking it through a little more has helped and have a good plan to make this build sick. Take your time! No need to rush stuff for us... do it in stages and pause if that helps
Set the motor on the frame and build
The car around it. That’ll be your best bet.
FINALLY!!!!! Back on the firestang
So excited to see the mustang build back!
A Christmas present for all of us Mustang fans.
Man I gave up hope of you finishing her, so glad to see you don't quit! Excited to see where you go with this build! Actually liked your front split bumper idea, looked like a track car very original.
Really happy to see that you get back on this project, and with the proper attitude aswell! Good luck!
Good Luck. You should have a livestream and maybe get some advice from your viewers on this build, discuss your vision for it, maybe sketch out some illustrations, manifest it man I know you can do it. Will it into existence.
The best build on this channel. To long proses in this build.
I’m happy to see this. Let’s get this built right. Merry Christmas
You live and learn. Looking forward to see this classic come back to life

Hook up with Quick Performance and get a 9 inch or 8.8 rear at whatever width you want, you can get it to bolt right in complete.
Excited to see this build back alive! Hell yeah!

This is v3…. I’m here for it! I’ve always wanted to see this Mustang get done
Finally! I’m quite happy to see this get done !!
Very good to see this Hoss Boss Mustang! Surprisingly, I thought that it was gone. But you've grown and your business has grown too, so, hope we see this one to completion.
Learning from fails, New attempt going to be grate for sure
So glad I found this, totally worth watching!
So happy to see you continue this project with the mustang, can't wait to see for the next episode
So happy you started back on this car .
Im happy you've got a renewed interest to work on this car man. Its got so much potential. Cant wait to see the progress
And we’ll see you on this car again in 6 years.
Super excited to see this resume!
Man I really thought you got rid of it I’m all here for it 1000%
So excited to see you back on it! Live the ambition but maybe a simple resto mod with bolt/weld ons would be the best bet. I see full blown car shops struggling to get done custom builds like this so you being a 1 man show just make it easy on yourself and keep it simple!
I know you can do that Mustang justice. I have faith.
It's good to know that you will be working on the Mustang again.
Complete that work and don't let it die again.
😊😊😊

Merry Christmas Ben! Looking forward to the build.
Mr vtune, I am so glad that you are working on the mustang again and that you are going to take time and care on finishing this project can be the car that you put heart and soul in too.
Be good to see this come to life !
I'm happy you are getting back to this Mustang! Just do a little bit at a time so you don't get frustrated. Good luck and Merry Christmas!!

Might be better to either widen the car or just the fenders, eliminating those flares all together would clean up the eniter build...
The stang is back🤩🤩
Merry Christmas Ben! I pray you and your lovely little family are well. Glad to see your renewed vigor for the Mustang.
Been waiting for this build buddy 🙌
Merry Christmas vTuned🌲🌲🌲
You could put an IRS sususpension in or narrow the existing rear end
Gday mate good to see you back on it
Merry Christmas 🎁 bud
Like you said dude, you live and you learn. Glad to see you bringing this build back and I'm sure it's going to be amazing! Merry Christmas!
Finally! Good news bro! Happy holiday's!
So happy to see your back on the mustang! Hope you can stick with it and get it done. Can’t wait to see final product!!!!
Finally, It was about time! This is a Christmas miracle! 🙏😂
I would recommend to rethink the front bumper , it looks bulky and doesnt match the car 😏
Every single video you post, it’s a vibe. Keep it up!
Makes sense to me knowing you know the goonsquad guys. Your blessing is felt.
been here form the start many years ago n this is the content i love.. keep killin it ma mann
Keep the patina... Clear coat everything on the outside... New interior and new everything under the car and under the hood 👀🙌
Merry xmas as well, Ben. Been subscribed for maybe 5 years, watch every episode even painting the forklifts. That said, the mustang seems like a lost cause. Buy one of those new/old mustang reproduction bodies and do your magic on that. More bread, but less work, clean straight metal. That’s my 2 bits. But I’ll watch either way.🎄
I’ll be honest Ben you’re very talented of all the Car TH-cam videos you’re definitely talented and should be far,please Don’t hold back challenge yourself more and it’s great that you’re back on working on this build all the best definitely behind you a 1000% love from South Ahh 🇿🇦
That’s funny, more brain cells… I commented the instant you did it that putting the master cylinder there was a one of many huge mistakes.
Samcrac the mvp for helping vtuned realise to finish his project. All the best ben. YoU CAN DO ITT..
Glad to see you back on the Mustang.
Good to see you giving this another go...get the bros out to give you some help if you feel it getting the best of you again. I don't mind the size of the rear flares but you do what you think look best
Check for recalls, it’s a Ford
😂😂😂😂 so treu 😂😂😂😂
Coming back to this with more experience and a fresh take is the best thing you are doing.Looking forward to seeing version 2's final look.
I'd love if this channel were to migrate from mostly collision repair to more custom stuff, Ben's definitely got the skills necessary to build some sick rides, just needs to work on planning the builds better... and we need more custom builders on here...
I’m waiting for you to buy a newer mustang and just Do a body-on-frame swap. Would be a month or less .
After seeing everything you are unhappy with such as the fire wall and after thought about pedals, and the rear end, it makes more and more sense to do a body swap to the automatic you wanted.
This is the correct answer.
Definitely strengthen that table. Get some triangles going to better support the length. And give it a quick spray in black paint so it looks as good as the car will!
You got this! Slow and steady wins the race.
I'm so glad that you are back on it. I thought your fab work was good, it was the design that was a bit off. Keep the front bumper and the front flares. Keep it going. You had a great vision of what you wanted. Stick to it. I thought that you were going with a sort of Ken Block mustang look with super wide flares. I liked it.
Just put middle support. The mustang looks good with the wheels on it
put a new 302 with a 6 spd manual in there you ll love it Merry Christmas and thanx for all the great vids
Mustangs are Vtuned's kryptonite,LOL
Looking forward to seeing how the 65 turns out
There is alot of aftermarket body panels that will be much lighter.
Also.
Tin soldiers. Strange. Moser. Quick performance and others will make you a rear housing and width you want.
Get the wheel you want to use. Put them under the car where you want them to be. Then measure between the wheels and that is the overall width rear you want.
I had seen Vtuned builds many car exept finish a vintage Mustang. Third time is the charm, just do NOT cut this one in half 😂
Need to replace the solid shaft that connects the steering box to the steering column with a collapsible steering shaft. With a collapsible shaft, if the car is ever involved in a frontal collision the shaft will collapse instead of the steering column/wheel slamming into the driver.
This isn't episode 1. I hope you finish this build. I was so into it and then you just quit on it out of nowhere. Led to me to stop watching your videos.
Same. 100%. And this is the 3rd attempt on his custom mustang.
Sometimes it’s better to walk away and clear the mind. Real life has ups and downs. I am sure he will make it up to you guys.
Can the comment people do better?
He’s a dad now he won’t give up
Same!
Calling it. This is gonna become the new Body for CBoysTVs Hoonicorn
give him 2 weeks he will tuck it back in the corner and never speak about it again lol
Happy holidays 🎉
Anytime Ben needs to get views up. He brings out an old school mustang and destroys it.
Just say some one else did the work on the Mustang, and You are rebuilding it, we will all back you up. 😁😁😁
Merry Christmas to all.
Merry Christmas, Ben!
It's amazing that you're bringing the mustang back to life. But i would say version 4.0. Since you did cut one in half 😮
I love watching your videos even if you never finish this car . You are great at rebuilding anything
Hey Ben....buy a wrecked late model mustang and put the old body on the newer chassis...😊
Great video as always Ben 💙
¡ FELIZ NAVIDAD 🎄! Gran regalo para nosotros los seguidores que empezamos viendo el canal por el Mustang ,se que es un proyecto ambicioso pero no imposible y tú lo sacarás adelante con tú ingenio.Buenos videos para este 2025 🎊 🎉
Pleased you've come back to this and not fkd it off completely. GG
How about trying to make a Hoonicorn tribute Mustang? That would make designing it a bit easier and provide an amazing final product.
glad shes back cant wait to see ya finish her!
I was wondering when you were gonna come back to this. Hopefully you stay focused and see it through this time. I know you can do it
