1965 Patina Mustang TIME-LAPSE Build Part 1

We picked up this bare 1965 Mustang Coupe shell in the summer of 2021. Original Arizona car (factory Blue Ext. With red Int!... Don't see that every day!). Building it to become the sister car to the 1965 Fastback. 5.0L 5 speed Swap. All brand new Grab a Trac Suspension. CSRP Big Spindle and brake kit! Frame Connectors with factory torque boxes installed! Should be a solid fun ride when all said an done!

DD Speed Shop sent me and I'm glad he did.

[@roadscapehorror-talesofterror]

What a great body. to work with! Man those southern cars! Mine came out of Covina, California. Keep up the great work!

[@icerazar713]

This is pretty cool. The coupe matches the fastback in color. Since they're not identical, that makes them fraternal twins lol

[@paulgunter1538]

Mike, gotta say again, love the new channel, and so glad to see regular video's. Nice to see somebody that does great work on really cool cars ! I look forward to more !

[@johnperry5102]

WOW, you get 5 stars on that one, what a super job you did, it's good for another 50 yrs, great video, it's a lot of hard work but what a fantastic result, you should be very proud of your hard work

[@johnsarian_cu]

Even at 10X or whatever LOL the impression is there about how much effort and elapsed time goes into it. Can't wait for the first carb fire start-up and to hear an exhaust!

[@sblsbl7600]

Just saw you on vice grip garage. "What do you think, eh." Then I knew you were fellow Canucks. New subscriber.

[@CC_Top_Solutions]

I saw him on DD Speed Shop on power tour. I have since subscribed! These vids are excellent!

[@larrybomber83]

Wow, now that was a lot of work. It should run and handle real well from what I have seen so far.

[@eliembree4637]

Such a cool car.

[@perotekku]

Killing it on the videos, Mike!

[@perotekku]

Just watched it again, nice sticker on the welding helmet 😂😂

[@nickefgen9219]

Great video now all you need is the convertible to match the other two and you’ll have complete set

[@MustangGuy6501]

Great video man love that car, i always wanted to build a 64-67 coupe next, if my Fastback ever gets done lol

[@jasonmyers3847]

Are you going to finish the Comet, soon? I'm in the process of building a '65 Ranchero gasser, myself. It will have a FE 390 big block for power.

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Comet is all finished. kzbin.info/aero/PLv7Ynk5RroFU9E4trdlplHnACmlEYmuFN 65 Ranchero gasser with an FE! Right on!

[@alexandermckay8594]

You've switched to CSRP from Leed. Just because of cost? Why not do discs in the back? What was all that fab work near the outer firewall? Was this a busted project or did you take it apart and find problems?

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

No these parts came with the car. I did do a cost comparison and CSRP does come with spindles (around the 1k mark). So also a good deal, can't say anything else yet as I have yet to drive/ operated them. But no, we are still working with LEED on a few up coming projects. Great company, their products have been perfect and have never had a issue. Why not disc in the back? When I was assembling the car I was honestly rushing to try and get it done for power tour 2021. So throwing an axle assembly that I already had assembled under the car was the quickest alternative. Nothing wrong with rear drums, but I will say... I do love the 65 fastback with 4 wheel disc's! The fab work was installing torque boxes. 64-66 cars didn't come factory with front torque boxes (unless you have a Convertible), it wasn't till 67 that ford introduced 1 torque box (driver side) and then in 68 they came with torque boxes on both sides. So it's a cheap upgrade if you're handy to strengthen up the 65/66 coupes.

[@1gatomon]

I guess it is just me but when I have a car that blown apart I take a bit of time to brush and paint the pieces to help make them last longer. Things like the clutch pedals made me cringe not being detailed and such or the front end before you installed stuff.

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

You're right, definitely the correct thing to do and looking back I'd probably would've done that. At the time I was trying to bring this and the Comet on power tour 2021... then once that passed I kinds just took it easy. The interior will be detailed, the column is sitting there and so are the pedals. They'll come back out, was just placing them there for the time being (clear up some stuff) just need to find the correct red paint.

[@frankmagana4542]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@chevroletbelair1]

everytime is can see the white mustang on the lift . will you do a video of it talking about specs and so and drive it?

[@jasonmyers3847]

I just saw you on Craig's video at the Power Tour. Looking good, man! Who drove your Comet, your dad?

[@rgbigdog]

How come you did not treat all that surface rust with a rust encapsulator and then put a fresh coat of paint over it?

[@chevroletbelair1]

do you have a vid of the white coupe on the lift?

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Coming soon👍

[@timothydeyoung5653]

i'd rather see the whole car being restored than see time lapse, but your making the video.

[@Timbo428CJ]

Hey Mikey, what happened to Classic Mustangs 429 ????

[@dannyjackson4294]

What where you doing to he rear quarter panel? at 13:51

[@Theoldcarchannel.]

Rolling the quarter lip to create greater clearance, with the car being lowered and wider tires installed, I didn't want it to catch the lip and bend the quarter panel.
