Great car. Did you see my reply to 1194, that white Mustang Mach1 I saw in PE in 1967 or 8 at at a garage Humewood old camping grounds. As a child it fossilised into my brain. The driver gave us five brothers a real show to remember.

This is probably my biggest dream. Assembing a whole muscle car just from parts. Building it exactly the way I want it. Not patching 60 square feet of rust. Please keep making these videos they are very inspiring to the working man with a dream. 👍🤟🇺🇲
This is something thats been in my mind for the last 15-20 years. New age full metal kit car's. Ive always thought it was just a matter of time till we can order any classic vehicle we want and build into whatever we want . With the growing interest in classics and the advancements in technology it looks like its coming to fruition. It just makes since, plus where ever money can be made it will get made. Then the more available the more the price goes down and the more it becomes the norm. Ive always thought either major vehicles manufacturers would start doing this or private companies would.
lol funny you should say that, I haven’t really uploaded much on the assembly on this yet but have all the content ready to edit. I did use all new body like this on a 213 mustang as well
More accurately: Lynard Skynard. Not the original band members, same songs. 1967 Repop Mustang. Copy of original, less age and crust, better performance-depending on your skills.
I’d like mine with a tube chassis for better suspension and engine options to run street, strip and road course. If I win the lottery - I’d still prefer that over an original. Thanks for posting-I’m glad I came across your channel.
Man! I really like how you get to the point in your videos. Also, you don't make us go searching around for stuff like your parts list. So many guys just don't know how to be clear on TH-cam. You do. Thank You for being so concise.
I like it. It's no different than any other reproduction car, and better than some cheap kit car with badly reproduced, fiberglass panels. Thanks to Brookville Roadsters and others, there are more Deuce Roadsters on the road than Ford built at the factory. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't represent it as an original.
That’s right, I would hope nobody would try to throw a vin tag off their car and say it’s all steel Origional but you know there are ppl out there that does
@@1194video Since it's already basically a reproduction/kit, you could make it a parody instead of a repro/clone Mustang.

I have a 1967 coupe that I bought new in San Diego in February 67. Took it to England for three years and brought it back. Have driven it ever since. Got the car and my draft card the same month! Both the car and myself too old to change to a fastback. A friend who bought a fastback at the same time didn't like the restricted rear visibility. Ah well !!
@@1194videoHey, cool channel. Mopar, too. Graveyard Cars is doing new Cudas now. There’s a company in FLA, Revolution, I think, building new/old Mustangs. Jay Leno had them on his channel. 300k, but if you’ve got the money…You would think the car manufacturer would get the hint and start making cars people want instead of this EV crap.

I love those car's, that is when they done something to last. Plus the compilation pushed all the big 3 to become innovative to stay atopp of the game. Can't wait to see you start the build.
I’ve always wanted a 60s mustang. This could be a less expensive way to get into one. Definitely would be less expensive than buying a restored 67 fast back.
kool thank you.... i still miss my 67 mustang lent it to a former friend and he wracked it into the back of a truck. as a 18 year old kid i didnt have parents anymore and no money had to give the title to the tow yard..
I agree with one of the comments that he should have bought just the whole shell from dynacorn but I'm sure the reason why he bought it in parts is because of the channel he's showing you how to build it piece by piece
I'd like to see this done using modern panel bond adhesive and the new rivets. I think it would make it way more attractive to people who would normally shy away from a weld together kit.
I live in Australia my name Is Steven Ford Knowing this & if i had the money I would buy A new body in parts get it assembled as A righthand drive to build a classic 1967 Mustang with modern suspension & a coyote engine . This would be a dream car . The only problem for me is reality that i don’t have the 30 to 40k USD it would cost to do This. But I thank you for making it known that it is posibal & i will just have to watch you build this one . while knowing dreams are free & i can at least enjoy seeing you build this one ….
Absolutely. Doesn’t matter where the steels made once it’s crashed or weathered it’s compromised. Low carbon steel, epoxy seal, done. Regardless it’s being crafted right here in the good old US of A! Wonder if Barrett Jackson or Hagerty check for such… ha!
That’s a good question, I bet they don’t, but I hear them say rust free no filler all the time, every car has filler weather it be lead, glass, or body filler
Wow, that is pretty cool. You’re gonna build your car from the skeleton up. I used to love Bill models. I wish I learned how to weld. I would definitely buy a nice spot Welder 🧑🏭 for this project.
Well it’s a learning experience, I built my side frames on this one rather than buy the ones pre welded so it took a lot of measuring but I had sides pre welded too that I measured from
This would be amazing. To have so much control over how straight everything is. My biggest problem would be that one spot that didn’t get quite right. I would see that every single time I looked at it.
70 chevelle, 69 charger, mustang , camaro all been around for 10 years .. Set that in frame clamps and get the measurements from cheif and you can make sure that it's correct
64-69 are the only era that look better as a notch back, than fast back, to me, of the years with the option. I did see a rendering of a S550 notch, and it looked pretty good, too.
Why not just buy the entire dynacorn shell? They build it on jigs where it's perfectly square. It's about the same price as buying all the parts and doing it yourself.
@@VelvetSanity don't forget the cost of the welding machine, clamps, helmet , gloves, wire ,lights , electricity, oh and balls. Balls is the most important.
@1194video, I love it! Maybe I missed it, I was going looking over the Dynacorn site whilst the video was playing but I don't see the doors but of course you also need to be able to get all of the pieces of glass and obviously a rear-end assembly, driveshaft to mate to a suitable engine/transmission and then spindles and wheel/brake assemblies, wiring harnesses etc. Still it's amazing seeing these old beauties in full shell form. I have '67 Coupe that sits waiting for some "TLC"....
I restored muscle cars for years. And with everyone buying up originals to make Elenors, or find a rust free western car, or some southern cars, then having to have them acid dipped or blasting, just to get started. Plus cost of overhauling drivetrains, the hours ive spent, the cost people wont pay, when its guys like me who bite the bullet, working practically for free sucking in all the dust, pudy dust, to deadly epoxy primers to poly urethane paints and more. We pay dearly for it. So with this being avalible and yes i would stsrt with a already built one from this company, jig built and square for 16,000. Its brand new and E.plated. All you have to do scuff sand, seal and paint, everythibg how you want it, saves 100s of hours. Outside shell you need front fenders and Hood to finish and pick your drivetrain. New style or Old. Front suspension is avaliable to get rid of those goofy towers, like airbag shock, a plate,lower control arm and shock/bag is working great on those, the rest is blocking body and paint, Do you want to narrow rearend you can modify and make mini tubs, while in that stage. Then its seal it all, mold in what you want. Go to expoxy and or paint. Sound deadening, Then you will have to buy a complete interior of your choice. Few companys offer those or buy panels and have custom done. I long run you will save 1000s building one this way! If you hire it all and cant do anything yourself your looking 150,000. Old way, or this route depending how fancy you make it, or Elenor kits, somewhere in 100,000 dollar range. Depends on your area, labor costs, material costs. Things go up everyday! If you can do alot of this work yourself you can build one from 30,000 to 50,000. I definitely would start with a complete built shell. I did a 57 sedan delivery in mid 90s, 14,000 for the car, time it was stripped, acid dipped and a 2 year show car quality work, including frame and all parts, show quality, to a finished car, 2250 hours, 2 years of work 6 days a week. Parts and labor was 110,000. Only charging customer 18 dollars a hour, i was only getting 15 to 16 of that, rest went to shop rental. West or east coast double that and more. What budget to you have? Can you do the work? I had a orignal 65 fastback 2+2 that was suppose to go to Shelby for a build. Bought in 74, sold years later, still miss that car, the fastbacks are just a cool car 65 to 70. Would love to build another, its just a major time factor! Money to build, lack of a shop or place to keep it safe when done.
Iv done many, they bring 6 figures all day long and prices are going up, the only reason for building myself is to video and show others they have that option. And I’ve heard a lot about the pre built bodies not being square and since I have several fastback I have cars to measure from. The bodies are a great way to get a dream car without the high cost of buying restored and not knowing what you have. I will buy more in the future I’m sure but just to no trouble to assemble a body, I’ve done several and Camaro bodies as well, I do not recommend this to someone learning but like you said, the complete body would be the way to go for them. Thanks for commenting, hope your a subscriber, I’ve got plenty of builds to entertain
I go the other way, I buy rusty junk cheap, like free to $1500, and start with that. Low cost of entry because I can't swing $15k for a car that still needs everything the rusty junk needs. I do not do this for a living, I build cars so I can drive/go racing in them, they are not show cars. Show cars are a rich man's thing. If I really really wanted a 67 fastback, this would be a way to go about it. Its lots of work, but I rather enjoy that sort of thing. I did my 1965 GTO that 'rusty junk to daily driver' way, paid $1500, it was not even a good parts car, and you could not put front or rear glass in it because the pinch welds were gone. I built it into a nice daily driver over 3 years for about $15k. Its getting a TKX probably next week since all the clutch parts are finally here. I have run it since 2012 with an auto in it, because 455s are rough on manual transmissions. Its the pearl blue one if you go poking around on YT. My 69 GTO was $200, I am starting on it this fall. The frame is no good, but I have other cars that can give up the frame. Traded a 1986 vintage 454 from a C20 for a 72 LeMans that has the T41 (GTO) front end on it for my 72 GTO, and the frame is going under the 69. It needs about $3000 worth of sheet metal, a full quarter, a skin, two door skins, the entire front end, and a few other pieces. The 68 Firebird I got for $200 is rougher than both of those, and I am torn about what I am going to do with it. Its an interesting one, as the cowl tag says "SPECIAL" on it. Apparently it was a factory exec car with a saddle leather interior and a V8, painted a bright yellow that is not in the GM chip book. I can do it simple with an Alston frame, I can cut up a Nova/Ventura for the bottom half, or I can piece it together like this Mustang build with new floor parts. Its almost completely gone, essentially its the roof, cowl, rockers, and the top of the quarters... most people would scrap it, but I want a 68 Firebird to drive. There there is the 71 Mustang, maybe by the time I get around to finishing it people will want those and I will be able to sell it. Nobody wants a 71-73, they all want 70 or older. I figured that out after I ordered all the metal it needed and got started. Now its taking up space in my shop. I don't really want to drive it, already have racecars, cruisers, daily drivers, etc. so it is languishing next to the lift and blocking the air compressor. You need that burning desire to drive it or financial motivation of avoiding hypothermia to put in the amount of work all this requires.
@@1194video seeing your video take off again like this almost a year after you uploaded it gives me hope that someday many someones will watch me cut and weld on rusty junk.
@@SweatyFatGuywell said, I hard several rusty cars in the works, this is the first full mustang built new I’ve done, all the cars on my channel are full restoration’s from rust so I know what you mean.
@@SweatyFatGuy rusty junk is all I’ve ever built. If you seen my channel I have plenty of content on those cars, I’ve cut them down to the dash board and replaced all the metal. I too am surprised, very greatful of course but surprised the video took this long to finally take off
❤ Fabulous that this is an option for Mustang People... its a dream even though it likely outta my price range.. but ya never know... my wheels are turnin.... 🤔
welding, fabricating, and mechanical work are not a talent, they are a learned skill. there are people who are talented and can learn quicker. do what makes you happy, you don't have to be the best to have fun.
@@TheSchmed The barn pickings are getting pretty thin indeed,no question.I doubt I'm the only person that would have some trouble paying $17k for these unpainted unassembled body parts,as nice as they may be.I'm not saying it's a ripoff by any means but the $17k is just the starting cost of a huge open ended project. Everyone that starts these projects doesn't always finish them! It's something to consider at least. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.🌞
Wow, it is amazing how little structure there is to that car compared to modern cars! ... I guess .. don't hit anything .. or get hit by anything! Really cool though, but I'd go for the notchback! :-)
@@1194video Does anyone rent out a set of fixtures you can use to position the panels correctly for welding? Or maybe plans for fixtures you can make yourself?
I've had mixed results buying Dynacorn repo panels. They are not EOM quality. I'm not sure if I'd want to buy an entire body, especially with a 1 year lead time or more.
$2,500 back when $1 was only devalued by about 23% $1 USD in 2024 has been devalued by 96% Yes $1 is worth 4 cents. Scary ain't it? The devaluation of the took off like a rocket in 2008.
@@romanval69 yup. Only difference between today and back then is, $2500 was easier to earn. Earning the equivalent today is much harder. It requires more hours of work. Plus extra hours to pay for the higher taxes, & fees charged by every layer government. If you happen to fall between poor & middle class you get hit extra hard, with zero access to assistance. As well as being the police's favorite target for over enforcement. Due to an inability to legally challenge stupid citations.
Thank you!!! I greatly appreciate it very much, I’ll be posting more and more soon but in the meantime you can check out my other builds on the channel until then
I've seen these since they came out, but I hear it's difficult to get this on the road because it's new without the all important VIN#. I've also seen many coupes converted to fastbacks. How wouldn't want a completely new 67 Fastback body? If I had the money, I'd do the conversion, so I'd be able to registrar and enjoy it on the road because of t's original VIN#. Though I found this video almost a year old, I'll watch the build.
Some places make it easy to assemble and tag a car like this. Michigan makes it relatively simple, because they build cars here... well, they used to. In most areas sticking a VIN on from another car is a felony, so you need to watch out for that.
@@SweatyFatGuy if you vin swap you have to go through the dmv to get it approved but in my case I had it inspected and a new title made for the car with new vin numbers
They should have had HOLES & a bag of nuts & bolts. A-B so it can only go in 1 exact postion in order to line up perfectly & also easier assymbly, no need for vice grips ....... if this were 5k and a 69 Id start saving my money~
Original panels are thicker dnd better built. All aftermarket stuff veey thin snd its hard to even get them straight losds of work just straighten it to hdve seams look decent. I know used to restore 67-69 Camaros but did not have many oem panels left so was using aftermarket stuff. Still had some oem panels, but they for more rare ones if we used them.
You have to show Receipts on how much the vehicle cost which you want to do as soon as possible so that your taxes are higher and file for a new vin number through your state for the year and model the car is supposed to be then your car will be titled as a in Tennessee anyway as a TNVIN and a registration number or you can use the vin from a donor vehicle
@@drewschumann1 Not really as long as you own the VIN. The VIN is like the serial number on a gun. It is stamped in the lower reciever. You can replace, change, modify every part except the lower reciever, without requiring a new serial number. VINs are exactly the same. You can replace every part but the VIN plate with visually identical/SIMILAR/replacement parts. The only rule is don't use a stolen VIN, which should be obvious.
So what I'd like to know is: What is the total cost going to be when the project is done? What is the value of the completed car seeing as it is not an actual Ford Mustang but a replica of a Ford Mustang? What would be the value of a genuine Ford Mustang of the same year? How many man hours will be used in completing a car this way?
It will be worth more. Piece of mine is very valuable and to know your buying the car of your dreams that’s rust free will make a person pay more. Gonna cost around 40 and sell for 150
@@1194video Wow, I was guessing based on your numbers for the body that a completed car would cost around $40K, but would not have guessed that it would sell for for $120K. Are you going to use period correct engine, trans, suspension, steering, and brakes? Or, go form much better options that were not available in 1967. You could put in a small block V8 or turbocharged engine that makes 500 hp and a 5 to 8 speed trans and also step up to 4-wheel disc brakes.
@@1194video $200K?? You can buy a brand new Audi R8 for that price. Who would buy your DIY project for that kind of money regardless of how well you put it together.
By the time you buy all the rest of the parts for it I bet it would cost $50-100k. There are a lot of parts on a car. A lot. By the way, how much real rust protection is on those parts? I heard the bodies have a lot of bare metal (would be nice if they dipped the bodies).
@@1194video What kind of coating or primer is on those parts? How much rust protection does it provide? If I were building one, I would consider finding out those answers and maybe spraying something better on the parts if what comes on them is not top notch.
by time you factor in your time supplies and labor, it's much more economical to purchase the whole body already assembled. Unless you're trying to save a vin

Set that in frame clamps and get the measurements from cheif and you can make sure that it's correct
64-69 are the only era that look better as a notch back, than fast back, to me, of the years with the option. I did see a rendering of a S550 notch, and it looked pretty good, too.
I don’t like the 69 in a coupe but I do like the 67-8 in a coupe
Why not just buy the entire dynacorn shell? They build it on jigs where it's perfectly square. It's about the same price as buying all the parts and doing it yourself.
I do have a jig and no it’s not the same price, about 7-9k more expensive if they do it
@@1194video And how much did the jig cost?
@@VelvetSanityhe may have built his own.
@@VelvetSanity don't forget the cost of the welding machine, clamps, helmet , gloves, wire ,lights , electricity, oh and balls. Balls is the most important.
Wow just got dizzy 🥴! Cool on you.
This is the first one heard of these im intrigued
@1194video, I love it! Maybe I missed it, I was going looking over the Dynacorn site whilst the video was playing but I don't see the doors but of course you also need to be able to get all of the pieces of glass and obviously a rear-end assembly, driveshaft to mate to a suitable engine/transmission and then spindles and wheel/brake assemblies, wiring harnesses etc. Still it's amazing seeing these old beauties in full shell form. I have '67 Coupe that sits waiting for some "TLC"....
I got the doors from scott drake for this one and the deck lid is dymacorn
Super cool video and presentation, my friend.
I restored muscle cars for years. And with everyone buying up originals to make Elenors, or find a rust free western car, or some southern cars, then having to have them acid dipped or blasting, just to get started. Plus cost of overhauling drivetrains, the hours ive spent, the cost people wont pay, when its guys like me who bite the bullet, working practically for free sucking in all the dust, pudy dust, to deadly epoxy primers to poly urethane paints and more. We pay dearly for it. So with this being avalible and yes i would stsrt with a already built one from this company, jig built and square for 16,000. Its brand new and E.plated. All you have to do scuff sand, seal and paint, everythibg how you want it, saves 100s of hours. Outside shell you need front fenders and Hood to finish and pick your drivetrain. New style or Old. Front suspension is avaliable to get rid of those goofy towers, like airbag shock, a plate,lower control arm and shock/bag is working great on those, the rest is blocking body and paint, Do you want to narrow rearend you can modify and make mini tubs, while in that stage. Then its seal it all, mold in what you want. Go to expoxy and or paint. Sound deadening, Then you will have to buy a complete interior of your choice. Few companys offer those or buy panels and have custom done. I long run you will save 1000s building one this way! If you hire it all and cant do anything yourself your looking 150,000. Old way, or this route depending how fancy you make it, or Elenor kits, somewhere in 100,000 dollar range. Depends on your area, labor costs, material costs. Things go up everyday! If you can do alot of this work yourself you can build one from 30,000 to 50,000. I definitely would start with a complete built shell. I did a 57 sedan delivery in mid 90s, 14,000 for the car, time it was stripped, acid dipped and a 2 year show car quality work, including frame and all parts, show quality, to a finished car, 2250 hours, 2 years of work 6 days a week. Parts and labor was 110,000. Only charging customer 18 dollars a hour, i was only getting 15 to 16 of that, rest went to shop rental. West or east coast double that and more. What budget to you have? Can you do the work? I had a orignal 65 fastback 2+2 that was suppose to go to Shelby for a build. Bought in 74, sold years later, still miss that car, the fastbacks are just a cool car 65 to 70. Would love to build another, its just a major time factor! Money to build, lack of a shop or place to keep it safe when done.
Iv done many, they bring 6 figures all day long and prices are going up, the only reason for building myself is to video and show others they have that option. And I’ve heard a lot about the pre built bodies not being square and since I have several fastback I have cars to measure from. The bodies are a great way to get a dream car without the high cost of buying restored and not knowing what you have. I will buy more in the future I’m sure but just to no trouble to assemble a body, I’ve done several and Camaro bodies as well, I do not recommend this to someone learning but like you said, the complete body would be the way to go for them. Thanks for commenting, hope your a subscriber, I’ve got plenty of builds to entertain
I go the other way, I buy rusty junk cheap, like free to $1500, and start with that. Low cost of entry because I can't swing $15k for a car that still needs everything the rusty junk needs. I do not do this for a living, I build cars so I can drive/go racing in them, they are not show cars. Show cars are a rich man's thing.
If I really really wanted a 67 fastback, this would be a way to go about it. Its lots of work, but I rather enjoy that sort of thing.
I did my 1965 GTO that 'rusty junk to daily driver' way, paid $1500, it was not even a good parts car, and you could not put front or rear glass in it because the pinch welds were gone. I built it into a nice daily driver over 3 years for about $15k. Its getting a TKX probably next week since all the clutch parts are finally here. I have run it since 2012 with an auto in it, because 455s are rough on manual transmissions. Its the pearl blue one if you go poking around on YT.
My 69 GTO was $200, I am starting on it this fall. The frame is no good, but I have other cars that can give up the frame. Traded a 1986 vintage 454 from a C20 for a 72 LeMans that has the T41 (GTO) front end on it for my 72 GTO, and the frame is going under the 69. It needs about $3000 worth of sheet metal, a full quarter, a skin, two door skins, the entire front end, and a few other pieces.
The 68 Firebird I got for $200 is rougher than both of those, and I am torn about what I am going to do with it. Its an interesting one, as the cowl tag says "SPECIAL" on it. Apparently it was a factory exec car with a saddle leather interior and a V8, painted a bright yellow that is not in the GM chip book. I can do it simple with an Alston frame, I can cut up a Nova/Ventura for the bottom half, or I can piece it together like this Mustang build with new floor parts. Its almost completely gone, essentially its the roof, cowl, rockers, and the top of the quarters... most people would scrap it, but I want a 68 Firebird to drive.
There there is the 71 Mustang, maybe by the time I get around to finishing it people will want those and I will be able to sell it. Nobody wants a 71-73, they all want 70 or older. I figured that out after I ordered all the metal it needed and got started. Now its taking up space in my shop. I don't really want to drive it, already have racecars, cruisers, daily drivers, etc. so it is languishing next to the lift and blocking the air compressor.
You need that burning desire to drive it or financial motivation of avoiding hypothermia to put in the amount of work all this requires.
@@1194video seeing your video take off again like this almost a year after you uploaded it gives me hope that someday many someones will watch me cut and weld on rusty junk.
@@SweatyFatGuywell said, I hard several rusty cars in the works, this is the first full mustang built new I’ve done, all the cars on my channel are full restoration’s from rust so I know what you mean.
@@SweatyFatGuy rusty junk is all I’ve ever built. If you seen my channel I have plenty of content on those cars, I’ve cut them down to the dash board and replaced all the metal. I too am surprised, very greatful of course but surprised the video took this long to finally take off
Cool that you can buy the complete kit. However, you should just put the car together and have another presenter! Thx 😊
Another presenter?
@@1194video I'm baffled about that too
@@USMC-Sniper-0137 idk maybe they will elaborate lol
What the hell???
player hating
This looks like sooo much fun!!!!!
It is, especially when you don’t cut out bad metal and repair, just all assembling
Great video.
Good for a race car or extreme restomod considering it’s a replica
man this is great if i ever have the extra money laying around!
It takes a bit to build one, kinda why it’s not finished yet but I’m slowly working on it
@@1194video yep thats exactly how i would do it part by part over time
@@SilentStorm21 it took about a year to get all the parts in then I finally was able to assemble it but there are many parts left to order
Awesome video Great work !
Dang that is a complete kit. Nice.
Thank you! Yes a complete body you can order assembled or in pieces
❤ Fabulous that this is an option for Mustang People... its a dream even though it likely outta my price range.. but ya never know... my wheels are turnin.... 🤔
sooo ur telling me i can build a classic.. without ruining a classic! sweet!
welding, fabricating, and mechanical work are not a talent, they are a learned skill. there are people who are talented and can learn quicker. do what makes you happy, you don't have to be the best to have fun.
Very well said
Thanks for a great informative video!
Why wouldn’t I do this ?
@@TheSchmed The cost might be an obstacle to most of us.
@@joeclark7888 as opposed to spending so much on a “barn find” and spending just as much, if not more to bring it to decent drivable condition.
@@TheSchmed The barn pickings are getting pretty thin indeed,no question.I doubt I'm the only person that would have some trouble paying $17k for these unpainted unassembled body parts,as nice as they may be.I'm not saying it's a ripoff by any means but the $17k is just the starting cost of a huge open ended project. Everyone that starts these projects doesn't always finish them! It's something to consider at least. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.🌞
Very cool. Expensive though. I wonder if they were fabricated with original die sets. The price would be indicative of new or remanufactured tooling.
No talkie, worky worky.......
Wow, it is amazing how little structure there is to that car compared to modern cars! ... I guess .. don't hit anything .. or get hit by anything! Really cool though, but I'd go for the notchback! :-)
I too love the coupe as well
@@1194video Does anyone rent out a set of fixtures you can use to position the panels correctly for welding? Or maybe plans for fixtures you can make yourself?
@@Touay. it’s not hard to build a join g to square it.
Excelente proyecto,Jeep on the assemble thanks,already suscribe.jorge.
Thank you!!!!
Keep it spining.
Kudos from Argentina
You can do the same thing with a Plymouth Cuda.
I’m sure everything will fit well together.
😂
Like a square peg in a round hole... or is it a round peg in a square hold and weld up the gaps lol
Those cars are such a tin can, its a prefect fit for coming in little bits in a box. All you need is a little spot welder to put it together!. 🤣
I've had mixed results buying Dynacorn repo panels. They are not EOM quality. I'm not sure if I'd want to buy an entire body, especially with a 1 year lead time or more.
@@Roboticgladiator I’ve always had great luck with dymacorn
I love Mustangs, the 68 my Fav. BUT if I assemble/Build a classic, it would be A Cobra Kit
Dude! Building a Working Model kit in 1:1 scale! This is RAD!
It does feel like a giant model kit
Not bad if you can make it past the spinning
@@drphelps9017 yeah my bad on that
Use all of the parts to make composite molds…
Good year choice. First year that would accept a big block without cutting it up.
Original cost of a mustang was $2500. 😮
$2,500 back when $1 was only devalued by about 23% $1 USD in 2024 has been devalued by 96% Yes $1 is worth 4 cents. Scary ain't it? The devaluation of the took off like a rocket in 2008.
That's about $24K in today's dollars.
@@romanval69 yup. Only difference between today and back then is, $2500 was easier to earn. Earning the equivalent today is much harder. It requires more hours of work. Plus extra hours to pay for the higher taxes, & fees charged by every layer government. If you happen to fall between poor & middle class you get hit extra hard, with zero access to assistance. As well as being the police's favorite target for over enforcement. Due to an inability to legally challenge stupid citations.
You are right, scary really
this comment didnt even show up on my notifications, i had to go on my PC to check them to see it.
I loved the intro !!! Where is the rest of the build ?
I have it on my computer just haven’t edited it all
Giving me James May Airfix Spitfire vibes.
That guy is great, he cracks me up
Sweet project!
Can do that for a 69’-70’ Charger and add extra to make it a Daytona
Currently I don’t think you can buy a full reproduction body for the 69-70
@@1194video I’ll check….
@@1194video Yup, everything can be bought for the Charger and I have personally seen the Daytona kit at Carlisle Mopar National Meet 4 years ago.
Oh i hope this is available in my country
@@zaihFor17 could always have each part shipped
I would add a full rollcage and quite frankly my welding is probably a bit better. Spot welds tear out ( zipper failure ) so need continuously welded.
I always run welds down the seams, my spot welder is good but I don’t trust it either
That is amazing, wow
Thank you!!! Hope you’re a subscriber!!!
Keep on keeping on
Right on!

Going to enjoy this building!
Thank you!!! I greatly appreciate it very much, I’ll be posting more and more soon but in the meantime you can check out my other builds on the channel until then
I wonder if they have a Panzerkampfwagen VI, Tiger I either completed or as a kit.
Never, ever, start another video with the camera spinning in circles dude! I was almost too sick to watch the rest, and I really wanted to watch it!
Luv it 😊
Thank you!
Great Project. Who does the full assembly? all welding.
Classic industries sells complete bodies with MSO
I've seen these since they came out, but I hear it's difficult to get this on the road because it's new without the all important VIN#. I've also seen many coupes converted to fastbacks. How wouldn't want a completely new 67 Fastback body? If I had the money, I'd do the conversion, so I'd be able to registrar and enjoy it on the road because of t's original VIN#. Though I found this video almost a year old, I'll watch the build.
Get the VIN from a junkyard, swap met, club, or buy an old 6 cyl car.
The guy is building a Shelby - - it'll never be real.
Check out all my builds, I have many coupe to fastback builds and there is no issue on getting the bin numbers, I have a video on that too.
Some places make it easy to assemble and tag a car like this. Michigan makes it relatively simple, because they build cars here... well, they used to. In most areas sticking a VIN on from another car is a felony, so you need to watch out for that.
@@SweatyFatGuy if you vin swap you have to go through the dmv to get it approved but in my case I had it inspected and a new title made for the car with new vin numbers
The price is now $18450 out of that website.
Yeah I’m sure it’s just going to get worse
This, but for a Camaro, Firebird, Barracuda, AMX, Javelin or Challenger
That would be nice if they started building them all
Why?
@@skigdividerx4991 because what’s the point of life if you can’t find something good that you enjoy doing and share it with others
@@1194video No I meant why do those other cars. Mustangs rule!
@@skigdividerx4991 I mean yeah I do have a special love for mustangs. I’m not a big fan of much else except the old ford trucks.
They should have had HOLES & a bag of nuts & bolts. A-B so it can only go in 1 exact postion in order to line up perfectly & also easier assymbly, no need for vice grips ....... if this were 5k and a 69 Id start saving my money~
They are going up in price too, I like the 69 best too
Very interesting
amazing video man!
Original panels are thicker dnd better built. All aftermarket stuff veey thin snd its hard to even get them straight losds of work just straighten it to hdve seams look decent. I know used to restore 67-69 Camaros but did not have many oem panels left so was using aftermarket stuff. Still had some oem panels, but they for more rare ones if we used them.
I'm sure each state is different. How do go about registering a build without a vin or title?
You have to show Receipts on how much the vehicle cost which you want to do as soon as possible so that your taxes are higher and file for a new vin number through your state for the year and model the car is supposed to be then your car will be titled as a in Tennessee anyway as a TNVIN and a registration number or you can use the vin from a donor vehicle
@@1194video Using the VIN from a donor vehicle is tricky. As in prison time if you do it wrong tricky
@@drewschumann1 Not really as long as you own the VIN. The VIN is like the serial number on a gun. It is stamped in the lower reciever. You can replace, change, modify every part except the lower reciever, without requiring a new serial number. VINs are exactly the same. You can replace every part but the VIN plate with visually identical/SIMILAR/replacement parts. The only rule is don't use a stolen VIN, which should be obvious.
So what I'd like to know is: What is the total cost going to be when the project is done? What is the value of the completed car seeing as it is not an actual Ford Mustang but a replica of a Ford Mustang? What would be the value of a genuine Ford Mustang of the same year? How many man hours will be used in completing a car this way?
It will be worth more. Piece of mine is very valuable and to know your buying the car of your dreams that’s rust free will make a person pay more. Gonna cost around 40 and sell for 150
@@1194video Wow, I was guessing based on your numbers for the body that a completed car would cost around $40K, but would not have guessed that it would sell for for $120K.
Are you going to use period correct engine, trans, suspension, steering, and brakes? Or, go form much better options that were not available in 1967. You could put in a small block V8 or turbocharged engine that makes 500 hp and a 5 to 8 speed trans and also step up to 4-wheel disc brakes.
@@BryanTorok I am thinking another coyote and 6 speed and all custom suspension and interior. I’d like it to be a 200k build
@@1194video $200K?? You can buy a brand new Audi R8 for that price. Who would buy your DIY project for that kind of money regardless of how well you put it together.
@@jamescrud I’v had an Audi r8, had some that liked it and some that didn’t
Did you build your frame/chassis table I see the body on in this video? Or did you build it yourself?
@@michaelshade949 I took the rack the floor came on and modified it to be adjustable to level the body
the spinning in the beginning made me ill. almost didn't watch it
Well I’m glad if you did watch
By the time you buy all the rest of the parts for it I bet it would cost $50-100k. There are a lot of parts on a car. A lot. By the way, how much real rust protection is on those parts? I heard the bodies have a lot of bare metal (would be nice if they dipped the bodies).
Only bare metal were the torque boxes
@@1194video What kind of coating or primer is on those parts? How much rust protection does it provide? If I were building one, I would consider finding out those answers and maybe spraying something better on the parts if what comes on them is not top notch.
Is there a site that has all the measurements for putting these together?
Not sure. I do go over the measurements in my next video as I piece it all together but I have another car to go off of
Good video👍🏼
Thank you!
by time you factor in your time supplies and labor, it's much more economical to purchase the whole body already assembled. Unless you're trying to save a vin
I did it this way just for my TH-cam channel to show everyone it can be done
