The VStang is coming along so nicely, I love all the details being installed. It really is personal and one of a kind. My favorite build in TH-cam by far.
I like the integrity of the strut tower very much. V your idea of running a further bracket down to the frame rail will render the whole thing bullet proof I think. - coming along nicely! I feel some of the “old V” returning! 😊
Nice job Ben! Looks solid! You can only do so much working alone---plus the filming and editing. We have to be patient. With all you are doing, it is coming along fine.
19:01 for your cross brace, I'd weld a nut on the top plate underside then when you have to remove the cross brace it's just zip zip with the impact and it's off. You could put brackets on the end that conform to the shape of those tubes too if you wanted it to be really rigid.
Let's not forget that the biggest payouts in the markets don't come from great performances but rather it's great promotions. Stay invested, diversification for streams of incomes is very important.
Hello, I'm new to this online investment Bitcoin trade and i've been making huge losses but recently, I seen a lot of people earning from it. Please can someone tell me what to do?
No one,NO ONE, can argue Xender Smith at least currently, the best out there, even when Bitcoin is looking bearish with the market sentiment swinging low. But they kept us grounded with their real analysis, just the facts in the charts.
Good job, but when I did mine, I moved the upper shock mount outboard and made the inner fender wall smooth. It gave me a lot more room in the engine compartment. It also reduced the torque moment twisting the frame rails. You need a lower support between the frame rails and the front rail: otherwise, the frame will twist. You cut them out earlier. You need to put something back so the anti-sway bar doesn't twist the frame.
Beautiful design and fabrication on the shock towers. That'll stand up to those wheelies you'll be doing. You got it going on between the ears man. Thanks!
Hey vtuned (Ben) very good job on 1966 ford mustang gt couple v8 coyote 5:2 engine 6 speed manual transmission me and my son I love like watching TH-cam shows car vtuned love support vtuned big fan of vtuned me and my son living in Australia 🇦🇺 I love like watching TH-cam shows cars build up cars very good back road number one ☝️ ❤
When you make the strut tower brace, make sure you have unsprung weight on the car. Engine out n front lifted preferred but you can probably get away with the engine installed but have the front lifted. You don’t want to have any weight on the towers. Motion auto tv just had that issue with installing his brace on his gtr. Once he lifted the car it went right on, but when it was on the ground, the towers actually moved a hair and the bolt holes didn’t line up.
When you respray the car are you respraying the engine bay? Would look great if the bay was the same color n clear coat as the body. You are right there.
Please wait until you have the Explorer differential (making sure it's a limited slip)before you weld in the link supports.That way you'll do it once,and it'll fit.The front's looking great,and solid.Nate's doing great with the cutter and programming.He can cut you some ends for the tubing on the strut easily.
Nice job on the build. Something to think about...the cowl area in front on the windscreen will be a high pressure area for the air travelling over the car. This is usually taken advantage of, by designing air INTAKE at that point. Like for the cabin fan and heater. If you want to vent air OUT, it may be difficult. OR you can design air to flow in and down there, to help cool the engine compartment. It may still work, but I thought I should be mentioned. Keep at it. You will get it done.
Don't Quit, your almost there......Playboy your the reason why I started to watch TH-cam, all your hard work is coming to an end and when that bad boy done it's going to give you a new look on life...trust me ...it's hard work but it's going to pay off..........Keep Grinding..........Don't you Fucking Quit
my 55 Thunderbird has a Ford 9" 4 link rear end. They are simple to mount just make sure it's set true and neutral so your adjustment's look accurate. If it's off alignment, it's a sign of the person who installed it didn't know what they were doing.
Very Smart Move going back in and adding these extra strengthening elements, going down to the frame and connecting everything like you have mentioned is going to make the whole front work together as a strong piece instead of unwanted random flexing or failure points
Great stuff. I really like the hands on and CAD design combo. It is how custom cars should be build to be honest. Everything turns out cleaner and you end up with software copy of everything you do. Congrats, it is definitely one of the most interesting builds I have seen on TH-cam. Take your time and don't cut corners, it will pay off at the end.
"Sick of working on it." SO many people would love to be in your position with that car, people who have a passion for it, who will not get sick of it. That said though, I like the ingenuity of the strut towers. Quite a well though out solution. Was it your idea, or did you see it somewhere else? It was pretty well executed anyway.
In all honesty I would Bolt all of that shit in on the rear end first to make sure it’s all proper and then weld it in That way there is no alignment issues
I like your project and your inventiveness. One thing about the cowl vents: they usually provide positive pressure (like intakes) and the cooling airflow you are describing probably wants a negative pressure at the vent. Just a thought.
🌴 Hey Ben, the V- Stang is a project and ya say you’re gett’n burned out , but don’t feel like it’s only you the goonzquad boys got there hands full to on the Camaro , hot rod project cars take time and money, it’s the price you pay for having a car your way , think of it this way “ nobody has a car like it “ it’s one of a kind , and you own it ! And it’s almost done ! 👈🏼👍😀
This build is bloody awesome Ben, and I know your on top of it, but when the engine is in, how tight will your exhaust system be in the engine bay, and on the steering side, keep up the fantastic work 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
I'm slowly realizing that building one McLaren out of two is actually easier than building a custom racing mustang. Mostly because the engineering was already done like putting together a very complex puzzle vs creating a whole new puzzle from scratch. All that being said, let's not forget he's building his childhood dream car.
Thanks for the S2000 update. It’s sure coming along nicely! On the Mustang, with the pillow bearing is it possible you could find a flexible boot to keep the grease in and the contaminants out? I used to work in parts before retiring and frequently would see a replacement boot for Synchro-Start solenoids. This would be a smaller rubber boot similar to axle boots. Just my 2¢ worth. It might be worth a look. I’d also contact the peeps you got your pillow bearing from, they may have one.
SALUSOS VTUNED ,ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS, YOU REALY ARE DOINING A GOOD ENGINEERING WORK ON THE MUSTANG ,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. G.B.Y. I MEAN SALUDOS ON THE FIRST WORD, G.B.Y.A. NICE TO SEE YOUR BROTHER PROGRESING TOO.
Really loving the build the only thing that scares me is you and Goonzquad both drilled wholes in the firewall of your builds for the wire harness and not one rubber grommet for the wiring harness and your both feeding all that wire in the whole
I understand why you often say you got burned out on the mustang, it is a lot of work but that thing is a great project. I enjoy watching it as the smashed car rebuild recepie is a bit overdone on TH-cam. Keep up the good work and hope to see it done soon. 🤟
The biggest difference between the Jeep and pretty much every other 4x4 out there . Is that the jeep has solid front and rear axles , most everything else has independent front suspension . Independent is better for most things , but with the right set of shocks a Jeep can articulate its suspension Way more . I had just a middle of the road lift kit on my Jeep and on a ramp test I could get my front tire a full 4 ft off the ground while the other three tires were sitting on the ground . You would need trophy truck suspension in order to do the same thing with independent .
I would love to see your mustang and goonzquads 67 Camaro they're building run each other. At a local drag strip. I'm a ford man I'll put my money on the tang. Can't wait until it's done. Keep up the good work.
If you do have vibrations with the steering bearing you could always make a Strong rubber gasket for it and make another plate for the inside with a rubber gasket also.
Good to see you progressing this but more importantly you are starting to think things through. I would just prime the engine bay as you still have a lot of fabrication work. Wiring, cooling, heating if any and all those other things thay you will need to turn it from a runner to a driver. I would be getting it all done, then disassemble for the final painting. That engine will likely be in and out a couple of more times and you will only have to redo that paint. You need this as an advert for your business in my opinion so do it once, do it right.
That Mustang is coming along fine don't give up on it man don't do that this thing is going to be so cool when you get it done and I'd like to come up there and give it a drive myself I think that would be so cool man that thing is coming along really nice that 65 Mustang is just the coolest thing I have seen you done yet and it is coming along great man don't give up on it
Great video,smart move using the CNC machine,lot cleaner look,plus makes you look better,if that’s possible.Lol. Just keep going forward and carry on.about time to get you some help,like another brother maybe.impressive,impressive.can’t wait for the next video 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Very happy you're continuing the mustang. You are doing a great job. Don't lose focus! Stick with it and it will truly pay off in the end I promise you.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
"We'll have to make a label to remind us to grease it every 50 miles...." I'm laughing out loud over here.
Amen to that .he better be worried about headers or exhaust manifolds.thats when he will here me laughing all the way in Tennessee !
Doesn’t pay to grease that one. The bearing is so angled out of the flange grease won’t get into the bearing itself.

@Motionraceworks makes a nice engine lift plate for coyote engines

My trading journey was a matriculation to high and low, literally just like the market going up and down, now I'm constantly up.
Hello, I'm new to this online investment Bitcoin trade and i've been making huge losses but recently, I seen a lot of people earning from it. Please can someone tell me what to do?
Access to good information is what we need to progress financially in life. here's a good one. grateful.
I stopped worrying about bitcoin price ever since i started with Xender Smith, it gives me gain daily even with the downtrend.
No one,NO ONE, can argue Xender Smith at least currently, the best out there, even when Bitcoin is looking bearish with the market sentiment swinging low. But they kept us grounded with their real analysis, just the facts in the charts.

Always excited for your videos! Cool to see the 3D design and worth the extra time to make everything fit perfect. Looking good!
Great job as usual. Can’t wait to see the finished product 🔥🔥🔥
23rd garage and vtuned need a combined channel for consistent uploads
Beautiful design and fabrication on the shock towers. That'll stand up to those wheelies you'll be doing. You got it going on between the ears man. Thanks!
Chicken minis are one of the best forms of currency out there!! Old school bronco guys don’t like the fact there’s no v8 option in the new one.

Awesome 90k SUV! Gotta get use to these "trending" colors... as dis one looks clear coated grey-primer to me lol.
Can't wait to see this pony 🐎 on the road , it's going to be bad ass. Keep up the good work. Following you guys from Tijuana Mexico 🙌🙏
Hello bro great vidéo... And hello from France (( Bourgogne saone et Loire))
Those shock towers are nice... But they'd be better with some Dang Sauce.. LOL. great work
What car is that? The one in the background while you were doing the CAD stuff in the office?
Looking good sir 😍
So.... do you still think this is gonna fall apart? 😂
this is what i wanted to see, car building. Stay focused and great work vtuned you will go far!, peace from BRAZIL.
Go Ahead Bra. Sometimes doin' a damn thing takes a little time, especially when you have no crew.
You cannot cut off the front of those tubes, you’ll loose all your structural support.
Your are building a tank. Sick nice Dude. Stay safe.
What do those steel tubes attached to at the firewall side?
Good question. I’m wondering about that myself.
Nice job on the build. Something to think about...the cowl area in front on the windscreen will be a high pressure area for the air travelling over the car.

@12:25 looks like somebody made a ninja throwing ⭐️ 😅
If you make the swaybar check your hoodclearance first
CAD and CNC will give you the edge and make your content have that different edge that people will want to see IMO
Don't Quit, your almost there......Playboy your the reason why I started to watch TH-cam, all your hard work is coming to an end and when that bad boy done it's going to give you a new look on life...trust me ...it's hard work but it's going to pay off..........Keep Grinding..........Don't you Fucking Quit
my 55 Thunderbird has a Ford 9" 4 link rear end. They are simple to mount just make sure it's set true and neutral so your adjustment's look accurate. If it's off alignment, it's a sign of the person who installed it didn't know what they were doing.
I think this build will either be mostly completed or scrapped in the year 2024
Maybe turn that steering bearing block 180. You may not be able to get the the grease fitting when the motor is installed.
Very Smart Move going back in and adding these extra strengthening elements, going down to the frame and connecting everything like you have mentioned is going to make the whole front work together as a strong piece instead of unwanted random flexing or failure points

Congrats, it is definitely one of the most interesting builds I have seen on TH-cam. Take your time and don't cut corners, it will pay off at the end.
I think it needs another 200lb of metal in the front bracing all over the place without any real understanding of structural integrity.
"Sick of working on it."
SO many people would love to be in your position with that car, people who have a passion for it, who will not get sick of it.
That said though, I like the ingenuity of the strut towers. Quite a well though out solution. Was it your idea, or did you see it somewhere else? It was pretty well executed anyway.

Glad your staying at it Ben.. 🙌. Love the videos
this car will never get done he keeps adding
The Mustang would look good painted in that Bronco colour with some black stripes
I like the way the engine bay turned out . good job Ben
Классно всё сделал парень!
Kill-Dozer approves of your build method.
Sure hope there's room the headers.
The work on the car is coming along great, but what's the story with the mediaeval weapons cut out from the other piece of metal on the CNC table?
I like your project and your inventiveness. One thing about the cowl vents: they usually provide positive pressure (like intakes) and the cooling airflow you are describing probably wants a negative pressure at the vent. Just a thought.
VTUNED done it again. This mans genius knows no limits.
I think dimple dies would look awesome on the structural plates! Looking good boss…take care and God bless…David.
Put some speed holes in it get some dimple dies where you connected it it’ll give it a little look
Never bored your contents ...i always says (love what you do to do what you love) and here you are a good example of it ...
🌴 Hey Ben, the V- Stang is a project and ya say you’re gett’n burned out , but don’t feel like it’s only you the goonzquad boys got there hands full to on the Camaro , hot rod project cars take time and money, it’s the price you pay for having a car your way , think of it this way “ nobody has a car like it “ it’s one of a kind , and you own it !

Don't keep adding metal where you don't need it
8:59 a guy with his eyes wide open screaming at the sky
12:48 got em!
Your strut bracket should have a 90 degree bend to the panel for increased rigidity and support
This build is bloody awesome Ben, and I know your on top of it, but when the engine is in, how tight will your exhaust system be in the engine bay, and on the steering side, keep up the fantastic work 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
I think he going to have major exhaust problem.

Nate is the bomb!👍 Feed him more than Chicken Nuggets! 😆
Nates coming along 👍🏻
Nice, you are motivated now finish it up. It’s gonna look awesome and show stopper
Nate making shurikens is hilarious, and so on point.
Great job,,, going deeply to details to make the job not only safe but also 👌 beautiful ❤️
Those brackets came out perfect. Nice job!

@vtuned you should box in the hinge brackets as well. That would make it all sealed up!
Saludos nice job with the mustang 👍💪

Great build! Keep the videos coming!
Old cars are never 100% done. There is always something new in your mind after the first version is done.

hard work pays off and it shows looking really good I can almost here it running great job ben , great video also.
Don’t give up on it ! You’re doing a good job!😊
As always Ben.. you knocked the stabilization of the shock towers out of the park! Keep up the great work!
FU!.
love to see some of your work on the s2000. like that you are working on it again.
I would love to see your mustang and goonzquads 67 Camaro they're building run each other. At a local drag strip. I'm a ford man I'll put my money on the tang. Can't wait until it's done. Keep up the good work.
Leave the rest of that bar it’s will look awful if you cut the front off after the new metal!
If you do have vibrations with the steering bearing you could always make a Strong rubber gasket for it and make another plate for the inside with a rubber gasket also.
Do more vtuned but we like the progress
To earn 200.00 bucks with Upside you only need to buy 40,000 gallons of gas.
Good to see you progressing this but more importantly you are starting to think things through. I would just prime the engine bay as you still have a lot of fabrication work.

No worries....he just rattlecans it anyway.....$5 a can
That Front end looks CLEANNNN!!!💯💯
What an awesome job ben.
Worth the wait. Worth my time.
those ‘ohhh shit handles’ in that bronco are awesome
That Mustang is coming along fine don't give up on it man don't do that this thing is going to be so cool when you get it done and I'd like to come up there and give it a drive myself I think that would be so cool man that thing is coming along really nice that 65 Mustang is just the coolest thing I have seen you done yet and it is coming along great man don't give up on it
I'd rather have quality of uploads over quantity. Keep up the great work Ben, the Stang is coming along very nicely.
pretty cool to see your general process for making the cnc brackets, thanks!
best video of yours ive seen in a while possibly ever. nice to see you get alot done without talking about it to much
Can't wait to see you figure out how to thread that steering through the headers !
This mustang will become more head turner than a porsche!!!
Great video,smart move using the CNC machine,lot cleaner look,plus makes you look better,if that’s possible.Lol. Just keep going forward and carry on.about time to get you some help,like another brother maybe.impressive,impressive.can’t wait for the next video 👍👍👍😎😎😎
