I actually noticed him before I started to watch Goonzquad when he was building the M4 and they already Started the Lamborghini. But what I have noticed is he doesn’t upload as much as they do. But it is understandable because he is running a shop and they was doing from home
Legend is a bit too much but Their shop is putting out some kick ass work and it's nice to see these younger guys rock the wrenches. I am inspired and their parents must be so proud of them. I would be!!!
@vtuned has genuine skills. Not just a 'lego' assembler. He does it all... bodywork, framework, engine rebuilds. And he does a fantastic job of just getting down to business and explains what he does. Best of all... minimal use of royalty-free music.
I was kinda shocked when he just start striping the car right away. I was exceptim something like these fast restorations what are popular on youtube but this looks more serious.
Dang, it is refreshing to watch an actual mechanic at work! So many "rebuild" channels just buy auction or salvage cars then find someone else to do the mechanical, sheet metal work and painting - then claim that they successfully 'flipped' a car. Ben is the legit re-builder! 🏆👍
Alvin the guy I sold it to a year ago was the one that caught it on fire , I used to daily this car , I have known of the car for over 13 years , I still have all the paperwork from when I put the engine in and videos and pictures. It’s a factor 2 barrel car c4 the rear gear was a 2:80, the car was in a bad accident the front core support is from 1964 1/2 , drive side headlight bezel is from a 65 same with the drive door , drive side rear quarter panel is new .I sent this guy a email about a week ago no response
@@fastautoking154 It must hurt to see what has happen to a good car as that 66. I have a 68 that i bought as a shell so i took on a project to rebuilt my own 1:1 scale model car. I bought the car from a custom body shop that took in on trade to do some work on another mustang. the original owner contacted me to tell me about my car. his was a great story of what he did with the car while he had it, and now i'm writing my own on bringing it back to life.
Wow, that is very cool that you found your old car. I'm a little disappointed that vTuned didn't respond to you when you reached out to him. I really hope that wasn't on purpose. I owed a 1965 289-2V C4 coupe as a teen in the 90s. My stepdad and I restored it- not concours by any means, just a good, decent-looking, dependable daily driver. It originally was Wimbledon White w/ a red interior and I ended up changing the color to a turquoise very similar to your old car with a black interior. If this car was a 1965 instead of a 1966, I would have sworn it was my old car. That 306 engine is interesting. Did you have a 289 or 302 machined to that or is that just an unusual crate engine? I've never heard of it but it does look very related to the 289 and 302. I'm glad you found your old car. I wonder where mine is now. I replaced mine with a just decommissioned 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 SSP (Former Florida Highway Patrol car) in 1993, my stepdad took the 1965 over, was rear-ended in it and thought the damage was minor, he traded it for a former inline-6 converted to V8 1965 Mustang Fastback painted like a Shelby GT350. He sold that car a few years later. Thank you very much for sharing your car's history with us. You just earned yourself a new sub from me! I always love to hear cars' stories from the people who loved them most, their owners.
Life changing motivation man. Making major changes. Moving life into the next level. Learning bout to how maximum my push into the right direction and pushing the max for those motivating me . Thanks for the MOTIVATIONAL life.
V-tuned...I just love this model Mustang for restoring and modifying. Parts are cheap and easy to find. Going old school is sometimes the best way to go. Looking forward to all the videos to come on this beast you are going to build!! Good luck!!!
Nice solid little car, might suggest being careful with those rocker trim pieces, hard to find and pretty expensive. Looking forward to seeing what you do to this car
Have been watching your channel for several months. Subscribed today, as I love these model mustangs. I am amazed at your skill level at such a young age.
Finally a Classic , not some shiny plastic car. Love you`r chanel cuz you have eye for detail`s and put so much passion in this stuff ....Keep Going... :)
Right on - vTuned should have this done in about four days...you get a crazy amount of work done every episode. Looking forward to seeing this one come together!
Speaks for the engineers that the engine can still be brought back to life after that experience. Hope it'll find a good home and have many more years!
Awesome! This is going to be an epic build for sure! I will be amazed what you can do with this build. Cannot wait for the coming/future upgrades/updates. A 5.0 Mustang engine sounds like a good choice. Do it boys!
@@Lorenzo-VM now he got's Jared. Maybe we finnaly gonna see the SL55 Manual, the Ferrari F355 build, and the Bentley engine swap done. The guy is always complaining when gets his hands dirty.
Nice build vTuned! I like the blue color. But if you made a "Bullitt" movie tribute car with similiar mods and green paint, it would look amazing. Think about that.
Roger M This mustang is a 1966 coupe, the “Bullitt” Mustang was a 1968 fastback, this thing would look hideous dressed up like a 1968 fastback Bullitt!!
Great vid, thank you. Good you will replace that cowl because there is are 2 areas you cant see otherwise which are called the "hats". These are 2 fresh air intakes made of metal on either side and tend to rust around the seam if water didn't drain properly due to improper seam sealer from the factory at the side drains. Rusty driver/passenger floors are signs of this because it would allow water to enter the interior through those hat seams.
I tore the skin off the back of my hand. I should have worn a glove while trying to remove a bolt for a fender. I’ve grinded or cut and haven’t had a wheel shatter but the sparks have reached my face. All it takes is one accident and you will start to use PPE, that is if you can still do what you love .
good advice. I worked industrial maintenance and it is unreal the freak accidents that can happen. always protect yourself. eyes, ears especially. don't wait until you are 60 years old and the ringing in your ears never lets up.
You can replace the front subframe and eliminate the shock towers. That will be needed to 1. Fix the frame. 2. Fit the coyote engine in that bay. Good luck 👍 😀
Gotta love them old cars a 1/2 socket takes the whole car apart 👍 The car started on fire because of the leaking fuel pump with RTV all over it I'd bet ! Looking good shock towers are solid and fenders looked good on the backside . 5.0 is they way to go it's like they made these cars to fit newer engines in the 60's 😂
@Tom Richman I hope Vtuned learned a thing or two about content quality from the Goonboys after few collaboratiions and how natural they are when filming and get a higher subs.. Vtuned deserved it with his amazing skills
Advice - On older Ford's ck the plug wires for firing order before pulling plug wires off because people use 351W cams sometimes. Most people use factory order and it will not work.
@vTuned Garage: great project! Anxious to see what you do with it. Consider some rolling shelving units from Uline or McMaster-Carr to better organize your workspace. Keep track of bits that you will not use as other Mustang restorers could buy them and help offset your costs.
New D.O.H.C. , 5.0, I get it. But working with what you got, 289 V8, great little Windsor!!! Looks like a fun project!😎 I have been watching your Jeep Gladiator rebuild too!! Good stuff. I AM IN 100% !!
You can get a whole other audience now. Classic car enthusiasts, classic Mustang enthusiasts, and restomod enthusiasts. If you post these videos on their Facebook and TH-cam pages and they watch them, chances are that they'll see what a quality job you do on all your vehicles and become subscribers. After I watched you do one project I was hooked....
I believe where the inner cowl area tends to have issues on these cars is not in the center there but at the sides. Leaves tend to find their way in there through the cowl vent and work their way to the sides where there is nowhere else to go. They sit there, retain moisture and cause rust. Hopefully those areas are good as well but in the event that they are not, it is such a common problem that there should be plenty of parts and info out there for the fix. Ironically, my 1965 Mustang was also originally Wimbledon White, mine had a red interior originally and I painted it a color very similar to this one and switched the interior to black. I will say though, Wimbledon White is a cool color, especially when polished up right and it looks great with a red interior in case you wanted to swap out the interior color to really make this car pop. If this car would have been a 1965 instead of a 1966, I would have actually thought this car might have been my old Mustang.
Sweet! I love Goonz but I'm super happy to see someone taking on some classics, Goonz always chase new fancy stuff and it's great don't get me wrong but this is a nice change of pace! I love Mustangs!
No no no no, listen, your a pro !! Make it a fast back !!!! You will double your money, and if the engine is original then keep it in the car, you will get roughly the same amount of money regardless if you make it a fast back !! Do a lil research on it, right now there is 1 or 2 guys that are doing it as we speak, and a guy who made a 4 door 57 Chevy into a 2 door. Would love to see your skillz on making it a badass fast back
Having worked on projects like that in the past, be sure to get a new wiring harness and string it through the car while everything is apart. The car looks worth the effort.
Dude keep the 289 and c4 combo you wont regret it main thing is mo major mods are required for it and you can squeeze 400 hp outta that motor easily cheaper than making a coyote motor and transmission fit in there. Also when fixing that cowl, fix the air vents ALL mustangs leak around those just due to rust, fixing this will keep the interior from getting wet when it rains.
this channel is underrated af ... you're a legend bro !!!

That’s my old 66 mustang I sent you some pictures of it in a email , also it’s not a 289 it’s a 306.

Nice to see a old one come back to life 💪much love from Detroit ✌THANX
This dude is so talented. I have been watching him for a while and he can do anything.
I like these type of builds so much more than rebuilding new cars. Thanks for posting. Your work is amazing!

I cannot wait to see what your going to do with this Mustang! You have an amazing talent and vision!
Hello vtune I like the way you work.
You do good job and less play around.keep doing what you are doing great job.

thinking the same thing
@@Nathanm7977 me too......might want to be more careful with ALL the pieces. I don't think he's going original anyways so he might delete them.

Watching this here in Ireland and ye are doing a great job....great to see the youth of today working with there hands
Done it again Ben thanks for the new update great to see the old girl is in not real bad shape so from all here to all there Australia

I’m not a mustang fan, but I’ll watch every minute of this build. As always, nice work. SAFETY GLASSES PLEASE ;)
Yeah you gotta wear those safety squints. You can't replace your eyes!
Yes, please have more classic cars on the channel, loving it!
A diamond in the rough. Love the old mustangs. Good luck.
Awesome! This is going to be an epic build for sure! I will be amazed what you can do with this build. Cannot wait for the coming/future upgrades/updates. A 5.0 Mustang engine sounds like a good choice. Do it boys!
Lifetime gem right there. You better keep this one Vtuned.

Came here to see who else was gonna comment on that 🤣
Your repair skills are amazing too watch 💯
Love the channel, but take a friendly reminder from an old mechanic, use those PPE s
What is that?
live and let live personal protective equipment (gloves, glasses, earplugs etc)

Yeah, if i remember correctly.. Wasnt alot of the seems sealed with lead on these cars? Definitely use ppe
Simply in awe of the talent. Keep the videos coming!
Old classics are great, you always know what size grinder the bolts are. XD
I'm enjoying this series - nice work.
Dude, so Great to see you doing a Classic car for a change. Awesome choice too!
Do a complete restoration on this thing she deserves it
Just amazing job as always
Good luck in the hall of fame Vtuned 👌
Finally some classic car work!! Well done man!!
It could be the editing, but i admire ur ability to not ponder but to just work. Ur a talented individual.
I like the way this build can turn out. You should strip the whole care down and get it sand blasted then coat it, thing will be mint
Can not wait to see what motor you put in and what all you do to the car. I love Mustangs. The old ones are my favorite
What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
You can replace the front subframe and eliminate the shock towers. That will be needed to 1. Fix the frame. 2. Fit the coyote engine in that bay. Good luck 👍 😀
Ah the good old days when you could actually see the spark plugs !!!
Yoooo vtuned i'm already enjoying this build nothing better than an old classic mustang i ❤ old stangs
Like you said, the old cars are simple. It would be pretty neat to see a few more on the channel later down the road!
It is so fun working in old cars ..
Nice to see you working with old cars, hope to see more
Surprisingly solid looking car. I am sure you will but check the inside of the Fenders that you removed for rust as well.
Good to see someone working on the old stuff instead of new cars
Nice! Glad your really stripping this down to the bare bones. This is a great project!

Looks great so far!
No, mate. Keep that 289 going. It's a solid motor that deserves some love.
Having worked on projects like that in the past, be sure to get a new wiring harness and string it through the car while everything is apart. The car looks worth the effort.
There is more content in this 12 minute video than some channels put in 50 minutes, keep up the good work!
Dude keep the 289 and c4 combo you wont regret it main thing is mo major mods are required for it and you can squeeze 400 hp outta that motor easily cheaper than making a coyote motor and transmission fit in there.
