1968 Mustang Fastback Hood and Fenders Going Together

[@Shadowbgone]

Peterson is an amazing car builder. Super humble and honest about his work. 100% respect.

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

Restoring these Mustangs in the 70s is how my autobody career started that lasted 40 years. Would like to work with this fine young man in saving these well engineered cars.

[@captsaison9343]

OP you are an absolute wizard. With the never ending demand for restomods and all classic mustangs you will NEVER be out of work. You have worked out your procedures very well. Very impressive.

Man, this is looking good! Such talent, but a very humble guy. You bring a lot of light into 22,500 guy's lives that can hardly wait until the next episode. Keep it up! 👍

been an auto painter and a rest o junkie fot over30 years great job

[@MotorScotti]

Another great Mustang shell build. As you "only" do the bodywork and sell them on, how about doing a video where you show is some pictures or videos clips of the finished Mustang from the new owner? Do a compilation from the rust bucket, to the new shell, to the completely built car with footage from the new owner.

[@petersonrestorations]

I do full Restorations as well but most people want to finish them themselves. I only ever see pictures of them when finished

Best kept secret in classic mustang restoration.

I have a very clean 1968 Coupe, as Mustangs go this is the best year period.

Your a very special man Ben, look after your eyes and lungs now and for your family’s sake, because your very best years are still to come......live long and prosper.

To call you a master craftsmen would almost be an understatement. You do phenomenal work! Honest to god, should the day come I decide to build a 66 GT350 convertible replica, I’m coming to you for the body.

What about getting some punching dies Oval and square If there is room for the dies I know grinding the metal with carbide is not fun Cars look great your a real crafts man

I love that you can make a brand new old car with new parts and technology. Can you make me a 1972 Toyota Celica please? Maybe a little V6 under the hood ok? :)

Are there other places the need special consideration for drainage?

Hey Ben how do you find your fastbacks, I’m looking for a basket case to restore

[@OrionBful]

any new updates on your project

[@eclypse3d]

I know you said you have an account with dynacorn, in your experience do you get a lot of panels shipped that come damaged? I am restoring a 1970 Coupe and I am not able to get any panels from Cj's without them being almost unusable. I have had 3 doors, 6 quarter panels, and other odds and ends and all damaged. I had to stop getting replacements for the quarter skins shipped because I was getting tired of calling for RMAs and not being able to start on my quarters, I finally ended up just settling for the best two. Now of course that means I either only use them for patches only or if I use the entire skin I will have to do repair work on them out of the box which is frustrating. Also on a related note, cannot find 70 coupe rear quarters only 69 coupe/vert quarters which changes the body lines of the last half of the rear (well adds a body line that was not there, and moves and shrinks the side marker to the smaller 69 marker unless I cut it out larger as the 70s.) So frustrating.

[@petersonrestorations]

I have not had 1 damaged panel from dynacorn, but I have with companies like your having trouble with

[@eclypse3d]

@@petersonrestorations yeah its really disheartening with endless delays, I assume I can order panels from Dynacorn directly?

How do you drain the aft quarter panel recesses.

What % of the original car is left?

Maybe 2%. Lol
