Converting a mustang coupe into a mustang fastback part 1

[@jamesford2942]

I usually like to put a bit of temporary support structure in to the car before cutting it that far apart. I have a 67 coupe that I am contemplating doing this to.

[@1194video]

they are very flimsy cars but I have had no issues with structure sag

[@256garage]

That's a project. Keep at it. Cant wait to see finished product.

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Yes, what about temporary support welded inside to keep chassis and body structure aligned ? You are the first person I see not to do that. I am about to undertake this too, but I would have emptied all the parts lying inside car and tack welded support bracing in before cutting

You a crazy man. Good luck man

[@kingofsludge7262]

Seeing your hand get that close to the cut metal without a glove just gave me flashbacks

[@GS-cy8iy]

Son you are dangerous with a plasma torch lol. Cool project 👍

[@1194video]

That has been a very good investment, I love that thing!

[@BOHICA01]

Love that light saber

I know this was a year ago, but whoo, be careful with that E word.... don't want what happened to B is for build to happen to ya too. gunna go watch the rest of the series now, and subbed.

[@1194video]

Yeah I don’t use that word, we aren’t building one of them since the news. We decided to go gt500 route since b is for build had their issues

[@TheDeafJeep]

@@1194video sad when that happens to hard working people. I'm looking forward to seeing how the build progresses! my friend and I would like to do a fastback build one day, as well.

I sub too real people like you! I love Fords too!

[@ronaldhagadorn5512]

I live in central n.y. where are u guys located?

[@ervingoertzen7233]

You didn’t brace the inside of it, which would keep body aligned

[@1194video]

I have jigs, knowing I cut it down to the rockers I had to jig it to weld in all the rear frame rails and floor, no footage due to corrupt memory card

[@blanemangraford4747]

Can you please go over ordering body parts ?

[@1194video]

Yes I can do that. In my next mustang update I’ll inform on all parts

[@blanemangraford4747]

@@1194video Thanks so much. I am wondering if you need a support for the roof aside from the rear quarter panels that are swapped. Thanks again

[@1194video]

@@blanemangraford4747 the front factory coupe rail will work for front but the rear will need a rear fast back brace and the drip rails will have to go on before the skin goes on and I’ll get a better detailed video of that

[@BOHICA01]

Lucas. Is that a grinder or a welder type cutter?

[@BOHICA01]

just hear it. Plasma welder.

Soy de argentina. Qiero ASER lo mismo

[@FishNFoolLures]

The very first thing you should have done is weld in some braces, so hold the body and keep it from bending when it is all cut apart and very poor editing, the music is 10 times loader then your voice.

[@1194video]

Hey, ya gotta start somewhere 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@1194video]

Did you see the finished product? Easily a 6 figure car and all door, fender, trunk gaps line up perfectly, no braces.

[@adasterdezaster2865]

Man the music sucks!

[@1194video]

For sure
