1970 Boss 302 Restoration!

This is a photo slideshow of just about all the pictures we took of the four year restoration of our 1970 fastback mustang boss 302. The mustang is actually a cloned boss 302 with correct shock tower bracing, and staggered shocks, painted calypso coral and has a 351 cleveland motor in it. The car never left our garage once except to be sandblasted, the rest of the work was all done by my Dad and I!

I never get tired of watching this video

What a beautiful labor of love you have given her. Not only have you done a top job saving this one but you've done it the right way with attention given to every detail. The icing on the cake is being able to do it with your son.

Robert DeMilo Thanks, means a lot! We did quite a bit of work on this car and learned a lot over the years of restoring it. It was a lot of fun and good quality time spent!

It’s rare to see young guys motivated to work on muscle cars usually it’s Honda’s and Acura’s ! Great job it looks great 👍

[@OvensGarage]

Appreciate it!

[@OvensGarage]

National Dispatch LLC A lot of work, but a lot of great learning and experiences!

[@nationaldispatchllc958]

A true labor of love!!

[@the1967shelbygt500]

Nailed it! Great attention to detail!

[@robertharper9094]

I just bought a 70 Boss! 57k miles original panels no.s matching driver. She is a little rough but I'm gonna drive it for 5to10yrs before I restore it

[@OvensGarage]

Drive it like you stole it. Don't have to worry about the paint or weather. HAHA

[@robertharper9094]

@@OvensGarage I would share pics of it if KZbin would let me. Do you have a Facebook acct

[@MonroeHandyMan]

Awesome! I just bought a 70 Mach 1 and came for motivation!

[@TheRiotWar]

First let me say that you did an incredible job from top to bottom. Lots of money but also an insane amount of time and passion. Beautiful car at the finish. I do wish you hadn't said a Boss 302 restoration though. Having owned and sadly unloaded my own 70 Boss 302 many years ago, I look for the things that aren't correct. Early pics, I thought the shock tower reinforcing was missing but hard to see clearly, later you add it though so that's one sign. Obvious sign is the missing staggered rear shocks. Then of course the VIN tag is not a for a Boss 302 at all. I'm sure I missed other things but why go any further. Beautiful fastback made to look like a Boss 302. Again, an impressive job and a ton of upgrades. The real Boss cars are getting more and more rare but I hope to latch on to one again.

From Ford Addicted Spain, great job!!!

a trick: you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.

Beautiful!

[@RyanAndersonTechnical]

Thanks for posting. An inspiration

[@OvensGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Kimberlyexpects]

Incredible, beyond all expectations work!! But it's not really a BOSS 302 restoration, it's a 1970 Mustang fastback BOSS 302 clone restoration. I do admire that you took the time to do the shock towers, most people that build BOSS clones don't do that. The only thing I would have done differently would be to have installed a deluxe interior and build the car bone stock right down to the last detail, including the radio. Everything except the engine of course, that 351C will do just fine. A real BOSS 302 engine would have cost a fortune.

[@hoot911]

Thank you very much.

[@itoburrito9151]

THIS IS SO COOL

[@so7055]

Sweet!

[@arnoldanderson1501]

Steve Ovens sensational build guys. I love what you improved on the mustang foundation, even the Boss 302 had some short comings.

[@so7055]

Thanks. We had fun doing the build and made the decision early on to do all the Trans Am mods the bosses had and more (sub-frame connectors, rocker to frame connection, and extra re-enforcement on shock towers. It's a completely different car from stock, that for sure! It was invaluable father and son time :-) It may be difficult to see in the pics, but that's him at 19 yrs old on the paint gun. Proud Dad I am!

[@VIPmechanics]

Very nice. I am just outside Winnipeg. Is your car numbers matching?

[@edcain10]

Outstanding, UR DAD TRAINED U GUYS WELL.HOW LONG DID IT TAKE U ??Now It's Time To Win A Few Trophies @ Car Shows or @ Strip.Saw A 69 in Background, Do the Same To It??

[@OvensGarage]

+Ed Cain It took us about 4 years to do the resto. We did everything ourselves including paint, except sandblasting. A lot of fun and hard work on the weekend but we learned a lot. Went to a few shows this summer and won some trophies, haven't done anything at the track yet though! The 69 was bought but we just finished swapping the motor and put a hot 347 stroker in it. Haven't had much time yet to drive it but it goes pretty good!

[@raysillence4760]

Where’s the shaker scoop ?

[@philliplopez8745]

Paint code #1 I don't know why more of them were not produced in that color .

[@OvensGarage]

It’s a nice colour in person!

[@tuto204antonio]

Approximately how much money did they spend?

[@deanfisher4411]

nice my favourate v8 engine of all they go better with 2v heads on the street

[@VIPmechanics]

Absolutely incredible build you guys! Is that Grabber Orange? I'm doing grandmas original 69' convertible right now but not nearly to the extent of what you've done yet. Just windshield forward. Are you in Alaska?

[@OvensGarage]

Thanks! The colour is actually Calypso Coral. We are in Ontario

[@willthetrill4849]

Did you rebuild the engine to be capable of revving up to 7,000 rpm?

[@OvensGarage]

I’m not sure to be honest. It’s got 4 bolt mains

[@danshields3654]

It looks like you may of done a good job restoring the Mustang. I know you want to keep your video short not a movie but if you do another on a little bit longer to view your slides would be nice the slides were going fast enough that it was hard to stop the video on a slide that you wanted to view other wise like I said looks really good.

[@OvensGarage]

Thanks! In retrospect I probably should have made the slides go through slower. You can always slow the video down in the youtube settings.

[@ray24051]

You can go in the settings of the video and just slow down the playback speed.

[@briandufty8362]

WOW.WOW,%@&(). IM speachless.

[@tazaxx21]

Not exactly concours, but nicely done...

[@DanDan-oh3rd]

Teop rapide les photos

[@hoot911]

I noticed in another video that you have outriggers attached o your sub frames. Did you make them or did you get them from a vendor?

[@OvensGarage]

Eric Prout They are from global west, they are meant to tie in with their sub frame connectors but we made them work and fabbed a bit to tie in with the tin man sub frame connectors

[@2012omar302]

Legit 👍👍

[@jejuanbass5203]

About how long did it take for this rebuild and how much?

[@OvensGarage]

It took my Dad and I four years...and WAY too much money. HAHA

[@cooldog60]

Speed it up more so we can't see anything.

[@OvensGarage]

I just took lots of pics I guess ;)

[@tazaxx21]

Sorry, I got sucked in by the title that said "Boss 302". So it's a "clone"? That's fine, but the definition of clone is an exact duplicate. A paint job and a stripe kit doesn't make it a clone. This type of resto is best described as a "tribute" car, rather than a clone. Nevertheless, nicely done for what it is...

[@OvensGarage]

Thanks. It was a project done by my father and I. Everything done in our garage except the sandblasting

[@antoniosilletti]

Interested in building the same car. Would love to chat. Please contact me. Thanks.
