Hi Phillip. The Mustang is in really good shape for being 32 years old! Where I am at, up north in the rust belt, you won't find one that clean unless it was garage kept and not driven in the winter. And it would be a rare find. I like your plans for the car. Fix what's worn out and upgrade it where it is needed. Pretty sweet! Looking forward to the rest of the build. -mike
Thanks for checking it out! There are some areas of these cars that are prone to rust, and this one has one place that I am going to have to repair. It's not too bad, all things considered. But, I have seen a few of these cars rusted away beyond repair. It's going to be fun!
Well, i am here for the model A videos, but i am going to watch the mustang stuff too! I've never owned one, but i helped a friend of mine who has a bodyshop, to get some parts for is customers fox body convertible. The quarter window was a real pain in the butt to find, but i got it from ebay. I guess 60's Mustangs are a bit easier to mess with. Looking forward to see the next video!
Thanks for checking it out. These are fun little cars, and a lot easier to work on than the early Fords. But, the Model A project continues, and I’ve got some good content on it in the works! I’ll be back in a few days with another video!
I’m in the process of prepping my 86 torque boxes for welding. My car was under coated and I’m trying to figure out the best way to strip off the under coating in the seams of the torque boxes . I was going to use paint stripper and a wire brush to get up into the torque box seams to remove the old under coating for welding. Great video.
Thanks for watching. undercoating is worst case scenario. I would probably try a few different things. Paint stripper would probably work. Spray can brake clean, or carb cleaner might melt it, but sometime they leave behind a nasty residue that is pretty toxic when welding. I've already cleaned and fully welded mine since this video and installed reinforcements. I just used a variety of different wire brushes, different shapes and sizes, and scraped some of it by hand with screwdrivers and handheld wire brushes. I used some carbide burs as well. it doesn't have to be perfectly clean. you have to take your time welding anyway because the floor pan is thin, so you can weld a little, and then wire brush off what burns away ahead of you, and then keep welding. Stopping to clean ahead, and starting again seemed to work out well for me. Mine turned out great. I'll show that in a upcoming video. Not the next one, but the one after. I'm working on a few videos currently. Thanks for watching!
Well, of course I do! I think it's going to be fun. I look forward to cruising it to a few shows this summer. it will give me something to ride while I continue on my other builds.
Haha! That a boy! I had noticed the mufflers on the car now, looked like home made jobbies! No wonder they were loud! Have a great rest of the week Phillip!
They aren't homemade, they are made by the company "Spintech". It's a love or hate thing. Some people love them, and some people hate them. I personally hate them LOL.
Mustangs came from the (FACTORY) with symmetrical port heads, headers, forged pistons, true dual exhaust, a bulletproof rear, and 4 link suspension basically, you have (NOTHING) to complain about! Try a F-BODY from 82-92.. Get back to me..
The best factory race car ever built more Fox body mustangs racing than any other car ever built just a shame the Chevy boys can't seem to find a car to put their junk in so they use our mustangs and turn it into a jackass when its a stallion from the factory
They sure do run well at the track don't they. There's not much else out there that can compete with a mustang with stock suspension. They are easy to make fast!
@@phillipshotrodgarage yes, I just don’t like videos that have to do with people changing parts or up grade parts , I view that as waste of time but when you are doing an amazing job with the coupe.
So, you like the fabrication work? I like to watch that too. On this Mustang, I’m going to go through the paint and body process and paint it on the channel. That should be interesting to watch!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one! Thanks for sharing
-Spanky was here
Thanks! It’s going to be a nice one!
Best mustangs made. Love it !
They are! Thanks buddy!
Subscribing for this project it’s my dream car
Awesome, thanks for hanging out. More videos coming soon!

Eric on film...it's been awhile! "Official introduction" check. Looks like a fun project.
Eric done showed up and helped me get it done again. Gonna be fun playing with this car. It’s much easier than those old rusty ones LOL
Well Phillip, do you feel 16 again? Lol
I can tell that’s going to be a fun car!
Well, of course I do! I think it's going to be fun. I look forward to cruising it to a few shows this summer. it will give me something to ride while I continue on my other builds.
Yes of course it will and remember it will be faster than a speeding ticket only if you don’t get caught! Lol
I plan on staying out from under the radar. 😀

Remind me of high school
Right! I bought my first one the week of graduation! It's like old times for me!

I’m not complaining about a thing. But I did get my first speeding ticket at 16 years old on a red 84 T-Top Z28. I’ve wheeled those around too.

Needs wing really bad 😢😢😢
Do you like the way a wing looks on a notchback?
Real muscle cars have 5 lug wheels lol
Oh, I forgot to mention in the video, this car has been converted to 5 lug! LOL it has 5 lug wheels on it HAHA!
@@phillipshotrodgarage good I seen so many of them shear the lugs off
it has aftermarket axles also, which is another weak point on these cars.
@@phillipshotrodgarage sweet
Not my cup of cake , lost my interest
Are you following my model A build? There's more coming on that car in the next video.
@@phillipshotrodgarage yes, I just don’t like videos that have to do with people changing parts or up grade parts , I view that as waste of time but when you are doing an amazing job with the coupe.

Did you stop doing videos
I haven’t stopped, just took a little break. I’m working on some videos now and will be putting up new videos in the next few days.
