Subscribed 😊 very ambitious project. You're definitely not afraid to go at it! Thank you for showing us thus project. It's definitely a first and good luck with your channel 👍

Thank you!!

I always wanted a mustang fastback since I was a kid (my dream car). I'm from Ireland and these are so rare here. I've got my own project car ( an old bmw) . People like you give us all the confidence and knowledge to get it done 😊

[@Mustang_pilot]

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words! And I love Ireland btw. I have quite a bit of Irish in my blood! I was just in Dublin a year ago, what an absolutely beautiful country that I would love to live in. And you never know, you may come across your dream Mustang over there someday and have a chance to own it. I hope someday you do!

A lot of work ahead of you for sure. I would weld in some diagonal bracing as well, think of how a truss is made....

[@Mustang_pilot]

Thank you!

i would like to buy the right side quarter window guide plate and glass.... lmk

[@Mustang_pilot]

I have it! Where are you located? I’ll just give it to you.

[@Stang95Bang]

I think my biggest problem with doing the conversion is the interior parts that are required after the conversion and how hard they are to find. 🙄

[@Mustang_pilot]

Yeah, that’s going to be tough for sure.

[@TorinoTonysRestoration]

Great project. I've done a couple of conversions. Lots of work, but Fastbacks are way cooler than coupes

[@Mustang_pilot]

Thanks man, appreciate the comment!

Good luck with your project!! As far as using the "Lisky" drawings for a datum line, be careful. I am working on a 65 Coupe and the Lisky drawing has several errors and/or inconsistencies . I have had better luck using the Ford Factory Manual. For some ideas, and to see where I went wrong, you can check out my playlist on my jig.... kzbin.info/aero/PLssJ_iLvU3alNeNUCuUOhBmdRklJwjldc

[@Mustang_pilot]

Thanks, I will definitely check it out! I did verify that these specs are correct for 1970, but I did hear that for 65-68 the Lisky specs are off.

you very much need to spend more time working on your sound instead of all that bollox at the start mate !

Are you referring to the Metallica music on the intro? Who doesn’t love some Metallica! 😂
