Ben that door latch idea that you had was visionary dude! It’s things like that that makes a good build into a great build! You’ve already got a good reputation after fixing the Goonz Trackhawk and then rebuilding that almost “impossible’ McLaren, so very big respect to you buddy! 🙏

Visionary, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.. We have been doing it 20 years already..
Ive never seen it done, so....
@@mixalis6168 who is “we”?

DUDE! Massive kudos to the door lock mods and the bumper! Glad you're making strides on the mustang, when this car is completely finished and built by you and only you! You will be a straight up legend!

Yes, both impressive and innovative. V-tuned is certainly a cut above the average TH-camr…
@@philtucker1224 V-tuned is certainly a cut above the average TH-camr? Cutting up a classic car like a madman. Car is worthless now
@@nascarman38n88 I think some TH-camrs are desperate to generate content that will maintain or increase their subs. Mustangs, particularly the 6 cylinder (non fastback) variants don’t carry much value as a standard motor. The advertising revenue that he gets is probably far greater..
I know this build has been a pain for you but I really love watching this progress. Can’t wait to see it finished! The Sentra door latch and weather strip was genius 😂
Finished ?? He’s never finished a build. He’s just blah blah blahhhhhsssssss
@@Clarkedawg3 Get a life. Build people up, don't break them down. This is a monumental task that he's taking on all by HIMSELF. Have a little respect.

@@nickp3173 this guy obviously never done a huge project himself because these "projects" burn you out and then you have to refind your motivation again
@@Clarkedawg3 Really, you can never really finish a build, there is Always one thing or another.....
Ben, you shined big time today. You tackled the biggest problem 60’s era mustang owners had and have with their cars. You did this perfectly. Color me very impressed. You are the real deal. Thanks for all the great videos and keep up the great work.

Cutting a classic car up like a madman fixed it. Car is worthless now
That latch swap confirms that your skills are on another level. Never saw that coming.
it's basic as fuck.
Good job on that rear bumper Ben! Fabricating is your main strength and it shows. Been following you for a while and you're a perfectionist.
Fabricating is your main strength and it shows? Cutting up a classic car that is worthless now. lol
No wonder I haven’t seen you for three days
The reason they came with a big gap behind the bumper was to prevent quarter panel damage in light collisions. While tight gaps look great ur 1/4 is gonna get damaged real easy.
Ben, you are so confident now compared to when you started, it's such a pleasure to see you progressing so well. This build is mad. Wish you well for the future.
Great work, I had a 65 Mustang in the past and it never had a good line or gaps but always got complements driving around. Perfect vehicle to push to the next level.
Not one does from factory.. gaps, frenching bumpers and so on, has been done for over 50 years !!!
@@mixalis6168 Agreed. It's amazing how ignorant the viewership of the car restoration side of TH-cam is. It seems to be populated by kids who know nothing and have no clue what they're doing yet people watch anyway.
On the rear valance usually what people do is put a relief cut on each end and you can adjust the gap to make it fit a lot better like that. Coming along nice btw!

Replacing that door latch with a more modern one and getting power door locks out of it at the same time is “next level” type thinking. Great video!
Loving seeing the South Tennessee "engineering" at work.... especially that rear bumper, but the door as well. Good job. 😎
Great work today! It looks like the trunklid has a slight upwards lift a foot in from the left end,and that's what turned the lip in.You and the bros will give it a tweek and it'll set right. Can't wait for paint !
Very customized work. Love your ideas and how you are taking everything you build to a whole nother level!
from a repair channel to a custom channel. Keep it up Vtuned! You're doing great
That bumper looks really good. I have mixed feelings about welding on the lower piece
Great job, you are giving yourself a priceless education in metal work.
I love what you have done with the back bumper all the gaps are looking perfect. The door latches are an amazing idea and job. ❤🇨🇦
Looks GREAT!!! Didn't think I would like the square corners on the bumper but after you did it...I love it! NICE work on the door locks as well!
th-cam.com/video/Hax_5Vtrvk8/w-d-xo.html
11:27 channeling your inner chip foose...he does that a lot. Up, tuck and tight. Makes the whole thing a LOT nicer than factory.
Luv the door latch. Bumper is outrageous !
Great work on both the door latch and bumper! Love seeing how you work the problem and figure out how to make it better. Keep taking your time on this build and it will turn out amazing

Nissan centra door latch and weather stripping is genius
That door latch mod is a great idea. The door latch and striker is a chronic problem on these cars. I got one of the tight fit fiberglass rear bumpers. I got completely burned out on metal work on my car.
I think Ford left that gap big because you can lean on the rear bumper and it will start to fold up. I think they were hoping to try and prevent more damage back there in a hit but in any rear bumper hit it happens anyway just about every time.
I had to cut thin end plates and weld on to my rear valance on both ends to tighten up that gap to the quarter panel. You lucked out on your deck lid for it to fit that well. I had to slice into mine on both sides and the line to the fill panel at the base of the rear glass and re-make those lines to get them to gap properly.
Beautiful work. It’s looking really good. Those old bumpers had those big gaps because they were truly bumpers. They didn’t have the hydraulic shocks to absorb movement like today’s cars. Those old bumpers had to resist movement. So that’s why they had those big gaps so the bumpers wouldn’t hit the body panels on the car.
You are truly blessed with some amazing skills!! The way that door lock got fitted is godly. Can't wait to see this finished!!
Amen.....
Love watching your visions become reality. Awesome metal work Ben ! Gonna look so good once its painted !
That door lock and latch genius. Then using the weatherstripping who would’ve thunk. Bumper looks awesome and I think welding up that Rear valance the to the quarter panel will make it Look amazing. You’re doing great work love the channel.
I can't wait to see the " Franken-Stang " Completed
Awesome work! Love that bumper modification and the door latches and like you mentioned before also a modern latch for hood.
From Mustang to Benstang. 👍 The only one in the world.
The door lock swap was impressive. Fits like factory. Great job man
th-cam.com/video/Hax_5Vtrvk8/w-d-xo.html
That door lock transplant is epic!!!.... watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Takes LONG but man do I love this built!!! Waiting for the next part is the best waiting I can imagine. wow!!!!
Nice old Mustang. Hope it gets restored.
Attention to detail is on point. Don’t lose sight and cut corners towards the end of the build
Bumper came out nice! Don't forget to do the passenger door for the handle, love that idea! Getting close keep up the great work 💪
Awesome job on the bumper and door latch, looks amazing! Don't worry about it taking time, do it right like in this episode and we'll be happy to be along for the ride no matter how long it takes.
The artist at work v tune awesome job on the bumper and the door locks nice job on the gaps, car is looking great. 👍👍👍
Ben, I could watch you all day! You explain everything to a tee ! I am 87 years old and in a wheelchair full time. In my young years I restored 65 &66 Mustangs and was a National Judge, did motorcycles , Tractors plus many other things. You my friend are a pleasure to watch! I wish I had the opportunity to talk to you on the phone Jim In New Mexico
Awesome job with the bumper, and door latch! This project is worth taking your time, you going to have a sick looking car!!
Your ability to imagine something, execute it and make it a reality is amazing. Keep up the work.
Lots of finessing on that bumper.
Now some other people fixing a car they call it a built. Well......this is a built. Keep up the great job. You are very talented.
This is the type of content that interests me. The creativity, skill, and THE LOOK of this build is morale pumping !!!
bumper will look slick on that once you straighten up the shut lines, nissan door locks are genius, door sounds great cos its a proper old car with good new tech holding it together
Chip Foose would definitely give you a thumbs up on your bumper work, the door upgrade was brilliant 👍
Great idea on the door latches, a nice modern touch and reliable too. Very good fab work on the bumper, a lot of work but going to look amazing when you get it all done.
Beautiful custom work on the hinges and bumper 😊
Ben...just like watching you work. Thank you for the content. People who know, know that you are one of the best frame and body guys out there.
Door lock idea is SICK!!
I’m digging the tightened up rear bumper and I think welding the rear valance to the car will look clean.
The reason for the big gaps around the bumper is so that if the bumper is hit, it can move some distance before hitting the bodywork. So in a light hit, the bodywork is less likely to be damaged. Back in the old days, bumpers served the purpose that they were designed for. Not like with modern cars where the bumpers are just for show.
Nice door latch 👌 I was gonna suggest on the corner piece move the corner and add a straight piece but your version looks great 👍gonna be nice ☮️
Nice 😁 can't wait for the filler and paint. A popular color for the car would be the choice.
Gaps look great man!, that is usually a nightmare on old cars, and really bad if you're fighting reproduction sheetmetal. Massive respect on the latch and bumper mods too..most would not spend the time. The custom bumpers would be amazing rechromed.
Take the trunk release from the Sentra and have a power trunk as well
For a future build , look into getting a 1972 Ford Ranchero. The big grill on it makes the meanest looking model. You can put a V-6 Supercharged motor in it or a Boss 302 with fam air induction with a 160,000 volt super coil . With a dual point distributor or go with a super hot modern ignition system. But they make a very good Drift car because the rear end is so very light!
This is great, I have a 91 toyota pickup I put a lexus 1uzfe in, wanted the steering and suspension to be more updated and ended up using a mustang 2 rack and pinion, hubs, and some custom qa1 suspension to finish it all off. I really like when people use parts that you would have never thought would work. Your doing great man
Good to see you’ve slowed down to think about things a bit more clearly and getting good results as a result , keep cracking dude , kudos from the uk
Nice perfect fabrication in the right places. Did a really nice Job. Seriously
Great job...I really liked the modification of the door locks and the modification of the bumper .
I'm loving this mustang sentra project. Keep the awesome work!
Time well spent on that bumper, came out awesome.
As always impressive work. I've never seen a Mustang bumper look that good.
I liked that bumper graft you did. Super smooth looking.
You should make a mould of it when it’s finished and create fibreglass ones to sell. I think it would be great because it would fit well and wouldn’t need much adjustment. You would sell heaps of them👍🏻 great work mate, it’s coming along awesomely.
No dought people will bow down when they see you roll up V, 💯
Hope to see it down in Mexico 🍻🍻🍻
That door latch turned out pretty good.
Man you made it a lot better. You are a customizer now. You dont have to chrome it you can just smooth it up with a little bit of filler and paint it. You could get rid of the seam or gap at the bottom like you were talking about at the end it would look real nice then. These cars fixed up bring a lot of money. Like 30 or 40 grand maybe fifty. You could do the body flares. That would be a lot of work though. Like you said you have to figure it out as you go so it is going to take some good amount of time. It just takes time that is all that is why the guy wanted $12,000 to do it. Body flairs are cool but damn thye take a lot of time. You just gotta know it will take longer to finish but it would be worth it if you dont get discouraged or dont have the money. You would have to work on other cars for money along the way.
Good Too All The Brothers Working Together !! ..............Bless
Gaps are looking MINT! keep it up Ben!
Very nice metal work on both the door latch and bumper.
Man, I love what you did with the door lock. Amazing work.
Genius idea Ben!That what makes this mustang a Vtuned model
Hey vtuned Ben very good job on doors and 1965 ford mustang gt coupe 6 speed manual transmission coyote engine 5:0L good looking new paint job brother Paul Ben very good job on build on 1965 ford mustang gt v8 coyote engine 6 speed manual transmission coupe me and my son happy back on TH-cam channel show car people worldwide happy watching on TH-cam channel show car love support vtuned Ben me and my son I love like watching on TH-cam channel show car very good job on car build number one ☝️
To go along with your Nissan latch, I would consider using the outside door handle. I would be just a matter of cutting out the handle area from the Nissan door and grafting it into the Mustang door. Just a thought. God bless and stay well.
Love the bumper mod! Just a thought, can you incorporate the taillight extent to the bumper and make it look seamless? The door latch & seals are nothing short of genius. See you in the next installment.
This was definitely one of your better videos! Really impressive work Ben!
Now you're cooking Ben! You're getting that fired up motivation back! Looking sooo good! Finish line is inching closer, and closer. Keep it up!
that door setup is the smartest thing i see someone do on a old model car, this guy is really thinking ,
I love the narrow body gaps and the new rear bumper design. There is a great chrome plating in Dallad Georgia called Dallas Chrome Plating
This build is almost there! Can’t wait to see it finished. Great job
Chip Foose does the tightest fitting Bumpers and Body panels . You are doing great and I enjoy videos . Keep up the Good work . the top of the bumper has a gap like Strahan . Dang Son saucy
Looking better every time, congrats. The latches look awesome
Good job on that back end vTuned. It’s starting to look really good 👍
this episode was special, awesome ideas, looking forward for the finishing touches!
If you line them (cars) neatly on the fence, your shop wouldn't look like a junk yard. Don't let the neighbors start to complain. Let your shop look like eye candy. It makes you look like you're organized.
Words of the day PERFECTLY and ACTUALLY.
My favorite saying of Ben's is "kinda perfect". I mean... That is an impossible combo, but he goes for it.
Your right on this build glad you kept up with this mustang you really messed up on the last one with to many ideas. But this mustang build you done what you said and not cut the car in half reducing the pain you had with your last stang.
The door latch system very idealistic you knocked that and the bumper out of the park. You really are the real deal. Keep the faith and you will always win. God Bless you Ben.
Love the family collaborations!! Y'all have some skillz!!!
Awesome to see after 4 years of doing Mustang videos your almost there! I've been here through it all! Awesome progress and it's gonna well worth it!
Brilliant fabrication cant wait to see more .
Awesome work. I need to bring you my chevelle to tighten the bumpers
Super work on that rear bumper, it’s a very subtle difference in the grand scheme of things but brilliant that you took the time to step it up a level. The latches are also a nice touch. We’ll do e and keep it going man!
Dude, that is a sweet bumper mod. NPD should take a mold of that and start making this part!
You put a square peg in a round hole with that latch. Outstanding job once again
I was starting to get bored of the whole mustang project untill the last month, definately starting to take shape now, I used to look forward to the goonzsquad updates but it's now like watching the shopping channel on TV, "buy this sauce and youl get a FREE limited edition bottle opener!" Im looking forward to seeing the mustang completed more than the camaro
The man can fabricate sitting on a plastic bucket...Skills. 🙂
