1966 Ford Mustang Restoration Project

[@paulprimac]

A lot of people hate this because it's a Chevy motor in a Ford. I think about it like this, car guys love the fact that there was something genius in each and every muscle car that came out of Detroit, and if you love cars you get that feeling. If you love blending the best of your muscle car genius, it makes you smile from ear to ear, and your hard earned money went where it was best spent. Great build! Beautiful!

[@TheTruckDoesntRun]

That you appear to have truly built this entire car in your home shop? One of the best builds I've ever seen! Well done sir, well done!

[@jorgechavira7729]

I am speechless! It is a work of art!

[@Rudderify]

Wow, brought this one back from the literal grave. Good job!

[@papolaboy]

Super great body work. Love it!

[@kevinkinney5445]

Well... That is badass

[@chuckmarsh7981]

Used indestructible LS engine 2k vs 10K for a coyote, not to mention much lower profile and less hood modification to fit it. Nice pro-touring result

[@kevinphillips4191]

some poeple never cease to amaze me such talent keep on building

[@dempseygoodno4166]

Love the full frame

[@burdineestep4224]

Really nice. Great metal work. Love the blue.

[@williamjarman7466]

Excellent job love the color love the wide-body rather than the fender flares love the LS of course the one thing LS has over the coyote is simplicity. They're Bulletproof dual overhead cams way more can go wrong when you have a 4 foot long timing chain.

[@paulcunningham5327]

Wow.... I wish I had spent my time developing skills like this!!!... that is amazing

[@tonygirvin8672]

Nice looking car

[@jamesguralski5156]

Wow wife was out helping you! She's a keeper!

[@grahamserle7930]

I love it, awesome job. It's not as if it's an original stock restoration so the brand of engine doesn't faze me at all. Very tastefully done.

[@vicentefuentes67]

Good job, the only thing I do not agree with is placing a Chevrolet engine in a Ford. Ford has more sophisticated and powerful engines, which would make the difference.

[@TheGeonam]

I'm a Mustang lover that has built two nice Mustang at this point in my 74 years of life. I am also a mid year Corvette lover and just finished a 63 Corvette Roadster with an early LS1 Chevy engine. Although I love the early Mustang as much as I do the early Corvettes there is no way in hell that Ford has a street engine that will even come close to GM LS engines. This guys Mustang is without a doubt the best early Mustang project I have ever seen on KZbin or in person. Going with the LS engine was as good as the rest of the incredible job this guy did on this car. He needs to give himself a big pat on the back.

[@alaskanmuscle70]

Vicente Fuentes. I agree completely. Blue Oval all the way!!!!!

[@contetradis2416]

Love the build. What are the size and brand of wheels you put on there?

[@henrytoledo4103]

He's got more skill with sheet metal than I do

[@DavidJSmith-hl6kb]

BAH!... HUMBUG!...A FORD MUSTANG WITH A CHEVY ENGINE?...NOT IN MY LIFETIME!...i DON'T CARE HOW GOOD IT LOOKS!...I AM JUST SAYING!...GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🙂

[@kevinmohr1946]

Stock 5.3 ls 360 hp stock 5.0 coyote 460 hp nuff said

[@kobywsmith]

Kevin Mohr and the price difference is easily over $5,000. Is 100 hp worth 5k?

[@kobywsmith]

If you look at his build forum he did this as a challenge for himself. Bartered and traded for a lot of the parts. Gave reasons why he went with ls too

[@sacooper802]

I'm bummed about the LS engine swap to Chevy though one big argument the LS has to stand on over a ford coyote (modular) engine would be LS engine still uses push rod valve train technology making it a smaller package for about same HP as coyote engine, those DOHC cam coyote modular engines are huge in size compared to an LS engine.

[@1957kwick]

Made up my mind if I ever built something like this rather then widen the fenders I would just widen the entire car instead.just a thought. Nice job.

[@billydakid4441]

The people talking all the bs are jealous wish they could come close to that u have to give him credit car is different o and people talking smack show us wht you could build let see what kind of skills you have

[@jamesbladerunner2735]

Love it ❤️

[@jonnhybellido8123]

So cool !!!!

[@TheGreenmeeny]

Wicked stance & proportions

[@fartenfreddy]

Thr motor shouldda went in the Camaro in the background of the photos,,,, Car looks great though, wish you'd put up a vid of it. Fred

[@wilbertbenjamin]

mad skills!!

[@dougbloom3672]

Done correctly ! Sick !

[@dejakixiong9142]

I just talk with the owner and he said he accidently forgot to add a zero to the 5000k.

[@MrFireman164]

Awesome work !

[@saintblamo]

Why would anyone do all that good body and chasis work but put a junk chevy engine in it? I'll Pass

[@paulpaul5606]

Great

[@jeffhouk4768]

5 grand?, no way, the rolling chassis would cost more than half of that

[@bkueser]

You are the master!

[@cryptosully2357]

where did you get the front and rear glass ruber moldings kit ??????

[@donphillips5471]

Would have been perfect until the engine!!

[@josuehc1234]

Of course, like and so much more

[@themountainraven]

Nice

[@joehentalack2443]

Great car but why so much good work and go with that rigid rear end instead of a triangular suspension??THX for the pics....,must be hard,,, on those auto-cross tight turns...??!love the color,are those Mickey Thompson tires???

[@cnealmartin]

New steel chassis, crate motor, exhaust, wheels tire, breaks ....all for $5K ? My A$$, unless stuff was donated then sure maybe.

[@hectorflorio5282]

Love all the work less the LS. Coulda shoulda hada COYOTE. It would have been AWESOME.

[@papolaboy]

I wholeheartedly AGREE. ...should the COYOTE ENGINE.... COMO ON ITS NOT TO LATE....

[@DavidJSmith-hl6kb]

I WONDER IF I WAS A CHEVY GUY AND BUILT A WIDWBODY 70 Z28 CAMARO WITH A FORD 428 COBRA JET ENGINE HOW WOULD THE CHEVY CAMARO ENTHUSIASTS WOULD FEEL!...OR A CORVETTE WITH A FORD ENGINE!...i AM JUST SAYING!...i REMEMBER THE RING BROTHERS BUILT A 65 MUSTANG FB SHOW CAR WITH A CHEVY ENGINE AND BELIEVE ME THEY GOT ALL KIND OF PUSH BACK BEHIND THAT!...THE NEXT 65 MUSTANG FB THEY BUILT HAD A FORD ENGINE IN IT!...I AM JUST SAYING!...GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🙂

[@jackflash6377]

you lost me at LS

[@dannyrusev2706]

It's always a pleasure to see a rusty pony transformed into a gorgeous stallion...here is another beautifully restored '66 Mustang Fastback kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqfRmKydopyFp8U

[@whodoesnt3745]

youre telling me you did this entire job for $5000? am i missing something?

[@psiewert83]

Yeah there's no way in hell. I did 100% of the labor myself on my 66 Mustang restoration and just the sheet metal, welding wire, and grinding disks alone I spent $1000.

[@king23059]

$5k r u serious, I'm starting to think my mechanic might be ripping me off

[@psiewert83]

The rusted out shell of a fastback was purchased for $5000 probably. This restoration would cost over $20,000 even if you did it 100% yourself.

[@captpatrick891]

@@psiewert83 that chassis would be around $15k, but considering he did all the work himself I'm going to say it cost around $1500 in materials, all it takes is skill.

[@psiewert83]

Capt Patrick $1500 in materials? Are you high? You can’t even buy sand paper and paint for $1500

[@osquad1346]

@@psiewert83 you could definitely do all the work for 5k easily

[@Chief6067]

No audio for sound absorption ? Would love to hear it

[@fulltimber]

Could’ve been another Leroy lookalike , but then a Ford body went on.

[@Jesusiscominglookup]

I’m amazed that all that work was done only to put a Chevy engine in such a great car, you lost me.

[@thomascapola9787]

Has this car been sold? Does anyone know who the owner is?

[@glock22357]

Why do people feel the need to lie about this stuff? $5,000.00???? LOOOOOOL!!!! No.

[@MrMarkpark]

$5000? Maybe day 1. Then you realized you needed the LS and wheels.... oh and paint and body.

[@boostnhoe]

El Guapo That's exactly what I was thinking. If this dude is building this car with all those parts for $5k I'm sending him all my cars to finish. No way José

[@ParkerBuhrman]

I've read the build-up thread on this car before.. it's true. Don't remember the exact details but the wheels were traded for (a wine cooler maybe) and the LS was super cheap. (blew up after not too long I believe). The paint was done by the owner in his own garage, with a harbor freight sprayer. The man really built this thing on an extremely tight budget and made an amazing machine.

[@dieseldabz7104]

Its because he did it all himself and didn't use paint that costs thousands a gallon

[@svcogssvcogs4252]

Since you went with a LS you should of improved the handling with a corvette torque tube/rear end!

[@skigdividerx4991]

junk LS out dated two valve engine...Fail

[@fulltimber]

Bird calls in the music aren’t necessary

[@vernm6189]

If you want a LS motor Buy a Freaking Chevy to put it in! WTF. Did not like this Vid.

custom frame?

Custom frame, LS engine, lots and lots of bodywork, new everything...about $5K just to think about it.

[@T3SKATLIPOC4]

... you just Micky moused it

[@luissilvia8180]

Lies, it took way more than 5k to restore that mustang, or whatever is left of one.

[@Godless_heretic]

That motor olon is 5 grand

[@BrianS2464]

Restoration? More like hack job. Great work but it's not really a mustang anymore. Props to the guy though.

[@flemingcourt]

Apparently someone misunderstands the word "restoration".

[@DSmith264]

$5,000 in welding rod!

[@ACCOUNTANTB]

in his own garage...maybe its possible

[@troygaskins2082]

5 grand ya right

[@psiewert83]

$5,000 my ass..... just the metal for the frame, body panels, and roll cage would costs you over $2000. Even if that engine was used and rebuilt from a horrible condition you'd be $2000 in for that. New wheels and tires over $1000. That's just the tip of the restoration iceberg.

[@sucapizda]

You can paint it "found on road dead" blue, but the heart is still a chevy. And I think it looked really edgy and sharp in that satin black. That baby blue is kind of lame on that car. Sorry.

[@jy7duality]

Sweet build. Too many god damn commercials, no thumbs up

[@joehentalack2443]

Get add-block....
