Restoration work is by time and materials.

A lot of $$$$$

8" rear end from 1965 Mustang. Front 5 lug brake disc kit for a Mustang ll suspension.

I traveled with Pete and the Flying Horse C/S Mustang. I don't think Red ever drove it. Bill (worked in service) started driving it and then Rasco (salesmen). That was my 1967 427 Custom, I ordered it and it was delivered December 1966. I blew up the engine with 872 miles on it. Red fixed it and Dad sold it to him. It would go 100 mph in second gear.

@@gillisrestorations Dad married Pete's daughter Nancy. She was under 18 when he hired her in his office and she just stopped running fast enough. Pete did not talk to my dad for like 40 years. Nancy died a few years ago with dementia. They were married 38 years together. I forgot about Rasco but remember him. Dad did drive the car a few times...nothing permenent. Pete ran a crane and used to unload the hydroplane at lake magori which I took part in. He knew me and it took a long time for him to talk to me. He died with dementia too. I owned Frontrunner Marine for several years....barely kept my head above water. No pun intended. hehe That 427 was a frikin beast man! The starliner was the ultimate sleeper. 3 speed with overdrive. I LOVED it when dad got on it! I was about 13 or 14. I made it on my own without my dad just fine but he never gave me time of day. I got a black belt and got in the karate' biz...big mistake. Got my pilot license and that wasn't a big mistake! hehe My sister went into the Coast Guard for 23 years and then went to work for NASA for 19 years. We've both done pretty well. Eileen lives in Citrus Park near Ocala near my mom. Still love hot cars and motorcycles though! Now I can afford them a lot easier....hehe I've never ran my Comet...I suspect low 13's. If I run it I can't lie about it any more...hehe

It doesn't take long to get a 1000 hours in a project that requires a lot of rust repair.

Worth more money as a restomod fastback.

You know it. No harm, no foul.

I have taken mine to a few car shows with no drive train and have gotten two paint jobs from it.

Thanks. The nose came from Stang-aholics. We used it on a red 1965 Mustang years ago and a photo is on their website. At this time we have another one in our shop that will have that nose.

Thank you, Rusty

Thank you, Rusty

Thank you. I have thousands of photos of a lot of different projects and thought it would be good to share.

Thank you. Wait until you see the next two videos. We built this a few years ago and it was featured in Mustang Times.

Thank you. That was the first time we tried to edit a video and as you could see we had a problem!! I have a lot of history with my Mustang and need to do another video.

The cowl had rust. Will have aftermarket AC and they have you cover the cowl vents under the dash. No it was my idea. I did it on my 1968 Coupe. I will let my wife know. She has a hard time with the music.

I came up with the idea and Brian perfected it. It takes time but not that hard to do. The nice thing is you can make the flare as big as you want.

It's a lot of work, but really enjoy bringing them back to life.

I'm glad you found our channel. We have a lot of Ford projects under construction to share.

Watch all the videos. We have two videos at this time on building a fastback. It's a lot of work but if done right it's worth it.

I'm sorry I don't know. It was painted awhile ago.

No need to paint SPI epoxy holds up better than paint and you don't see it.

Red Oxide epoxy primer from SPI southernpolyurethanes.com

Well it was a coupe when we started and now it's a fastback

I never expected to find that much rust on the undercarriage.

Thank you

Could be all I know is a few things were different after the strike

It's hard to figure. I have never added up the hours from start to finish on just building flares. He is also working on other parts of the car.

Thank you

That was my first attempt. I wish I would have spent more time on some of the projects. In the future we are going to have a video talking about the project and then show slides of the restoration. You can come by anytime, just let me know a few days before. Thanks, Rusty

Thank you. We were surprised to find as much rust as we did since it looked good when it came in.

Thank you

Thank you

It will be a bright red when finished.

I have never heard that. I suppose it could be done but you would also have to weld up where the sending unit goes plus you would have a problem with the gas filler neck. NAPA but they say it's made by Wix.

@@gillisrestorations Thanks. I think I may give it a shot on one of my non-CJ cars. I know I will have to get a mortgage to fill up the tank, but what the heck.

@@gillisrestorations I talked to my super secret source in Cali. He said that the gas tank thing was done on the '65 R-model GT350's. If you do a Google image search for that car, you can see the setup they ran. Very doable. I think the ticket would be to contact Spectra or Sherman and see if they could attach two new lowers together to avoid the hassle of dealing with used tanks. Nobody seems to repro that exact tank presently. Anyway, keep on with the channel! I have base Montego Q, Cyclone CJ Q, Ranchero GT Q, XR-7 R, and two Cobra R's. Some CJ swaps, too! Keep the faith.

Thank you

I have been doing it that way since 1969. Jack it up on the strut rod bushing brackets.

They never expected them to last 50 + years. They only had a 1 year 12,000 mile warranty.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you. I have taken this to car shows and it get a lot of attention even without a drive train.

It's a lot of work to convert one to a fastback but it also worth it in the long run.

Bondo absorbs moisture where duraglass doesn't. You don't want any moisture to get in your welds.

Sounds like you found a good one. Good luck with your restoration.

Not done with it still have a long way to go.

The Vin is on the dash

​@gillisrestorations I mean the panel datecodes ..guess I didn't explain myself. Like inner fenders ect.

Thanks for looking at it.

Thanks, Rusty

Thanks. I thought about flaring the quarters and fenders but had too many other cars to work on.
