Building a New 1967 Mustang piece by piece

When muscle car prices skyrocketed a lot of people are probably looking to buy new quarters and floor pans to fix their cars Maybe it leads to a lot of panels being produced once again and ultimately lead to what we see now

[@stephensaasen8589]

I'm so glad that these aftermarket companies make everything you need to build a classic car from scratch. I hope they never quit doing that. I like the look and simplicity of these kind of vehicles, both car and truck alike. I'm alarmed at how complicated the auto makers are designing new vehicles just to try to force you to the dealership for service, the quality is poor, and frankly, they look ugly. Fantastic step by step on this build!

What is the donor car? That the body fits to

[@stephensaasen8589]

​@@Rogue_Wave5150 just quickly sped thru the video again. I don't believe there is a donor car. Everything you see there in the video is aftermarket parts. Mustangs are popular enough that you can assemble an entire Mustang from aftermarket parts, including an entire body. The '67 Mustang in the video he used as reference for measuring the dimensions of the engine compartment and strut towers for the aftermarket car body.

Nice build! Let me take you back to mid summer 1964...I had only seen the new Mustangs in TV commercials, and boy was I surprised to see a red one in my dad's wheel alignment / frame shop! This car from another planet had hit a man hole cover sticking up and mangled it's right front lower control arm. Armed with a slip of paper having the the part number scrawled on it, I headed to the parts room to pull one, so anxious to tell my friends I had worked on a MUSTANG!! (Insert NAA-NAA NAA-NAA BOO BOO here) lol. I was kinda' amazed that there should already be one in there somewhere, seeing as how this awesome car must have surely come from another galaxy... Ah ha! There was the box with the exact part number, I snatched it off the shelf and....my heart sank and the world dissolved before my eyes, for noted on that box with its applications were words that shocked me....Fits '61 to '64 FALCON - COMET!!! My dream car was actually Grandma's grocery getter with a different skin.....😟

You are correct, they built them off the falcon platform. But back then they were doing anything to lower cost of build to bring in new and exciting cars to compete with Chevrolet

[@jamesmedina2062]

yeah you always start somewhere. No need to re-invent the wheel plus no computers on cars back then. The suspensions went through updates and kept getting better. Even my 71 was updated in 95 for a newer & more correct arc of the upper control arm that affects wheel camber.

@@jamesmedina2062 I’ll be posting some suspension upgrades soon for this build

@@1194video sounds good. You gonna go with some Total Control Products? My goto shop was in Salt Lake Utah but the guy retired. Eaton Detroit's rolled/tapered leaf springs did a trick to smooth rear ride and super shackles keep the lean in check, and in front I used stock components but, some mods: relocated and reinforced towers for upper arms, inverted shocks from Pro Shocks with custom valving, heim joint, HyperCo linear beefier springs, and rollerized spring perches(versus rubber bushings). The spindle ball joint has a modded wedge as well. I look forward to seeing what you do.

You did a heck of an excellent video right there son! Just make about 10 more years of these.

Love this... glad I found your channel. Johnny Cash - One Piece at a time came to mind watching this video.

That’s what my grandfather said lol

This is awesome! I always Wondered what a full scale 1/25 scale model would be like and someone did it!

I'm in the UK, but this is one of my most favourite cars of all time !!!

You have no idea how happy I was to see that can of seem sealer hahahaha ! Premo quality ! Hope you also coat the inner spaces where water/moisture can collect.

[@1194video]

Yes, never can use too much sealer.
