It's a classic mustang don't worry about the body work. The real expert body man will make a comeo appearance and the body work will be gorgeous like the copper mustang. . Like the fact that you are not intimidated by cutting cars and making something from nothing. Keep up the good work. Really enjoy your hard work and long hours to get projects done. Thinking of a 66 hulk of a ford fairlane 2 door hardtop and a Lincoln mark vlll. If my health holds allows. Getting old sux .every one should enjoy life like you do and be happy with your job. And family and friends
Never got my sticker.
*Love the zig zag fender extension cut solution. That's a lot easier to patch in small 3" rectangles ahead and behind the wheel then to recreate the entire back of a fender etc.*
haha iIbe so lazy as to make a v shape grill in front.
I've seen bodies swapped back to front or top to bottom so it looks like it's rolling down the road backwards or upside down but never one flipped 90 degrees to the side. It would look like it had flipped in an accident and scraping down the road on the doors. That would be a real head turner.
No one should ever build a car this way, it's horrible and dumb, and I'm so glad you're doing it, because it's awesome!!! Thanks for sharing this Frankenstein!!!!
Had me in the first half 🤣

@@CaseysCustoms paint it a dark lime green , black vinyl top and large bolts as mirrors ... blame David >:)
@@warrendragon74 phuck yesss
Cuba....yes
This man is not easily deterred, he has vision and passion and a mountain of enthusiasm, I’m loving it
This channel is so underrated
I’m not sure I would get into anything cut up like this abomination….. I just don’t see how we could be structurally sound. I mean it’s interesting! I just wouldn’t want to be in a wreck in this car.
True. I just hit the sub button
@@Noslime you are looking at this at the 5% done stage, don’t make assumptions just yet. I did a chassis swap on the 55 Chevy truck (my daily driver) and i got T-boned by an asshole who ran a stop sign. Me and the truck was fine. Modern chassis’s are so much better in wrecks then old iron. It’s not even comparable

@Noslime every car in the world come in pieces. We meaning humans just love to waste money so it could come put together already
A Friday video is the way to my heart. Love your work and your first $1000 video is the only reason I had the balls to frame swap my 64 International onto an 04 Yukon.
Just sat down after a long week. Just what I needed. Thanks for the always entertaining work Casey❤🎉
Thank you for watching!
Hope your channel gets more recognition in the car community, definitely underrated af
Looks like you need to lengthen the roof to move your A pillar forward to clear your dash
Exactly what I was looking at definitely looks like the A pillar is set further back than the dash over the cluster. I’m sure he’s noticed this and has a plan to make sure the windshield clears the dash
@@timmillwood1585Ok I'm not trippin
+ 1. Then lengthen the doors by half that amount and lengthen from the b pillar to c pillar by the other half. Or shorten the floor and driveshaft to make the wheelbase match the mustang. Still a wild build though. I like it
Only problem would be needing custom glass for the doors.
Just have to bite the bullet and nix the beemer dash. Real shame cause it’s a really nice plastic, but that cowl is just too high. I wonder if a 325/330 e46 would’ve been a closer fit, but then we wouldn’t have all this mad genius
Hell yes fri video and another mustang cant get any better...also did monte stickers go out yet
They did but we’ve had some damn issues, almost 1/2 came back with postage issues. Send me an email and I’ll throw another one in the mail for ya
*Hey @Casey, I was wondering if you were going to do this again, would you line up the front of the car first and section the rear to get your additional length to fit the wheelbase and avoid the issue with the dash and modifying the factory fenders?*
You’re the cutting and welding crazy man. Know you love it. Will be watching if you can pull this off for a grand. And that’s the key in your head. Thanks Casey for sharing! 💯👍
Casey's wife must watch his videos because he is really sticking with his truck/door story. Honestly babe I didn't want the truck but, I had to buy the truck to get the door, there was no other way ;)
It looks to me like the wheel base fix should have been the shell going forward 3”. (Cut rear arches about) but the holes in the front mud guards will look ace with chrome grills in them :D
The talent is in you
Bro, I found this channel a couple weeks ago and I am hooked. Especially this build and the 51. So fire man. Keep 'em coming bro. Can't wait to see what other projects come in the future. Much love
Same! Can’t believe I only found it recently!
I really love your kind of thinking for this build. MAYBE on your next build you could take a little car (e.g. Porsche Boxster S) and shorten a nice big Chassis on top of it. Like a mini C10 Truck etc.
Great content !! This is the 1997-2003 E39 chassis of the 5 series. And the inline 6 is a Solid engine and I believe it has a GM transmissio. They sound cool straight piped. Any type of 5x120 lug pattern like a newer Camaro and BMW wheels fit and are cheap and abundant everywhere. Some BMW X5's came with 20" wheels with wide 325 width tires which would look sick on this.
I think what you're doing is really cool man.
On ya mate for having a go and not being afraid to mess around with things until they work
Keep em’ coming big guy 👍👍
Your channel is awesome. You and Bodevision need to get together on the CRX build. You two build some of the coolest shit on TH-cam and are pretty much 1 man operations. I could only imagine if you guys got together and built something
My thoughts exactly
I watch Bodevision also... these 2 are my go too
@@workingmansrestorations7071 yeah it's really impressive how they do such cool stuff all alone in their garages aside from the occasional help from a family member. I love the grassroots nature of all their builds. If they collaborated on the CRX I'd lose my mind
Between this and the Honda build, you've earned my subscription bro! 👌🤙
I believe there is headlight extensions that bolt on the front of the fenders and will push even further out
Casey, I love your energy and vibe. You make me laugh. Also, my hat is off to your video editor. Top notch all around.
I’m curious as far as the hood. Would it have been easier to add 3+” to either side of the existing center? It would be 2 cuts instead of just the center split. Love the project, love that you show what your doing rather than the aftermath of magical tv.
I do not have a car and for me, every creation are like a tresuare, awesome.
I am making. 1954 Packard small two seat speedster. To install the Packard dash I had to cut 8” out of its center. That was where the “Wonderbar” radio used to go. I’m gonna miss it.
My favorite car modification guy. Casey you make this old body man smile 😊
Thank you for watching sir!
Casey, you have the vision of an artist. I love watching your thought process, and the ramblings are perfect!
Keep it up brother I love the builds!!!!
Man I really enjoyed watching you do that build. It was GREAT. You are nothing but a genious figuring out how that all works together. You also are very humorous ,love the way you say "PERFECT" when things are looking good. CIAO
When you are swapping a body onto another chassis floor pan fire wall , consider leaving the original winddcreen and pillars intact on the fire wall . Also instead of destroying windscreens and other parts save them, im sure sooner or later you can use them cheers from Oz
Awesome job bro, staying tuned for the next video 👍🏽 all the best with the build
I always enjoy these budget builds. Not only do you keep them cheap, but you make them very Cool. Great work as always.
amazing seat of the pants sheet metal work, an unteachable talent obviously born from years of experience
So glad this channel is starting to get the love it deserves
I like that you are always optimistic although it is difficult but you continue
It's a beautiful crazy patchwork quilt, Casey.
The wheels on the crx in the background ..........Fire sir !!
I love them!
Love your work, can't wait to see the CRX finished!
So for your dash problem.. section the cab just behind the front doors. Making that 1/4 window wider by like 6". This would push your front window forward and clear the dash bump. You will need to undoo some of your fender stretching behind the front wheels.
With honest respect for your work and fabrication I must say you should trim that dash so you wouldn't widen car that much and have huge a-pillars and misproportioned front end as a result.. ;)
This is the only channel I watch and I continuously check for new content. Keep it up!!
been waiting to see what your going to do about that dash sticking out of the windshield. I think its a win!
The way you make the fenders look right is amazing. Really enjoy watching keep it up
🇲🇫french here discovering channel, BMW are very common here and oftenly modded.
But the way you use it is very cool and I hope to see it well finished and driven as it will be very cool !
I've see your budget goal but such idea desserve a full project painted and detailed it's so cool 👍👍
I can’t wait till it’s finished
FYI- plexiglass is actually real easy to cut into whatever size you need. And its real cheap. And for a couple years, before it... turns slightly brownish, it looks like real glass. You should try it.
Knowing what you know now, do you think stretching the rear quarters and sliding the body forward would have bee a easier? The wheelbase not matching like you expected had to make it more difficult. Another great video, I don't know how you keep knocking them out of the park.
I was thinking the same. If he slid the main part of the body forward the front fenders would've lined up a little better and the windshield would've fit better with the dash. But it's his build and I enjoy watching him cut shit 😂
This is a great build. I own a BMW like the one you are using so it makes it that much more interesting to me. The BMW straight 6 is a very good engine.
Nice work ❤️ 👍🏼
Awesome build. You should weld a Hofmeister kink into rear 1/4 window as a nod to the chassis/engine
Liking this more and more. Exciting to watch.
I stopped by out of curiosity. Now I am hooked. I gotta see how this ends up. 😁
🙌
Great job dude 👍 i just discovered your channel and i subscribed straight away!keep on buddy!
Sure
Good stuff, nice video Casey and Richard!
I can't wait for the 66 ford truck videos! You have so many fun projects going on!
Richard my man,.... You do the best video work!!!! Casey, Second video I watched,... SUBSCRIBED!!! I would have sooner but I wanted to see part 2. :)
I had a 1975 Gran Torino, and the nose on that car was very long. I think this build would look so cool with a long nose.
Casey, I really appreciate all the hours you take to make it fit and not look like you did. You wouldn’t think resection a few inches here and there could look so seamless. Great work. 👍
I’m really enjoying the work your doing. You’re gonna have to call it “Frankenstang”. Can’t wait to see how you bring all this together. Your vision for it should really come together, you have a new subscriber, sir. Thanks for sharing!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for the show you guys are awesome 👍😎.
When you first start this bmstang build I was like .... but it's looking pretty bad ass. Stretched mustang for the win.
It would be great to be at a car show and watch people walk by this and do a double take. 😂😂😂
Love it. Everything on the channel actually. You have some great projects going.
You Rock Casey !
Love your videos man. Its like watching Bob Ross, thinking "OH NOOOO he messed it up"....but NO, there is a plan. Just keep watching.
Tom's Refurb channel has a similar Mustang coupe on a 90's Honda Civic platform. Currently he's making it a fastback.
Caseys ever since I found your channel I've been watching it every since this is John from Detroit Michigan
Fascinating build... I hope to see more of your videos! 👍
Discovered this channel at the beginning of this build, loving it thank you - new subscriber here
You should chop the top... make it look crazy!
Always easier in thought, but almost could have moved the front of the car forward starting in front of rear wheels. Love your off the cuff builds. Respect
The CRX build is amazing to watch cuz I wanna do the same to mine! 😉.... can't wait to see more!!
From 1 bimmer guy to another: get a nearly 0 offset, those are 25 I believe. You'll need close to 0 offset on there to get close to those fenders (front and rear from what my eye tells me). Hope this helps! Cheers!
Those wheels on the CRX look totally sweet!
Sweet build bro you should paint the mustang the stock BMW silver and put BMW badges on it 😎
That was actually a genius way to extend that fender without having to fight or replicate the body lines. I definitely would have made two cuts straight down 😅 I am curious how you're going to handle the windshield the way everything currently lines up. Guess I'll just have to keep watching the videos
That's what I get for commenting halfway through the video lmao
He's gonna have a 72 Cutlass by the end of the build! Very entertaining
Where you lengthened the fender you can make a shark gill vent.
I absolutely LOVE this...subbed!
Nice work. It’s coming along well.
I'm new to Casey's Customs but I hope the Honda CRX in the background is getting a turbo LS motor and 6 speed trans. Just something I've always wanted to do.
@ 19:14 ...... roof has at least a 2-3in sag from center , shortly after the cowl n dash being to high ........ pull the bottom of the windshield frame back pushing up the roof center, may loose depth in dash but keep form in the roof >:)
Love the comments from people that don't know shit. Casey shouldn't be worried as he knows what he's doing. 😅
Also you now have a thumb and subscriber from me you attentions to detail is impeccable
I'm doing somewhat relatively simple like converting square body chevy long bedsides into a shortbed and i have already decided i am never doing "extensive" sheetmetal work again. I'll be glad to watch it, but im never doing this again.
your some talented in your work and fun to watch thanks for keeping it real and real fun , the new guy .
Love this video! Very inspiring!
Excited about seeing this project done ..let's fcking gooooo
Cassy you are one clever bloke. I like this car 😎🇬🇧
Very cool build. My neighbor down the street just picked up a 65. I wonder if I could get the body from him. Hmmmm can't wait to see more of the crx! Mike c
I would love to see a mod of a 50s, 60s Chevy truck remodelled into a coupe!
Wow now that's a pretty good jigsaw puzzle to put together. Just remember Casey Beat to fit and paint to match. Thanks for the hard work making this video.
Love this channel so much!
Love the fab process!
New subscriber bro,from one body guy to another: love what you're doing. Can't stop smiling. Hi from Montreal.
if that fan is the same one as in my E39, its a PWM fan. you wont be able to replace it unless you re-program the DME (ecu) to work with a single speed fan.
Cut the top of that dash out cut a flat piece of metal that looks like the dash cap of that era of mustangs and cover it with padded black vinyl … cut a hole for windshield vent … that should give the appearance of the old mustang dash … my two cents
Man you are a artist awesome job ❤
Definitely would’ve left the windshield frame in with custom glass or Lexan. Rear is whatever and I know you said it was a lot of work but I honestly think it would’ve been way quicker and the simplest solution. As well as the best looking option.
