I bet the neighbors love you! For what it's I'm genuinely impressed. Keep putting out the content and I'll keep watching.

I am too! And in a driveway to boot!

This Fairlane is going to be a monster when its all done.

I've done this many times. It's called fun! Good dirty fun. Yes, my neighbors were appalled many times at first, but as each project progressed, the neighbors got interested to see which way it would go. There is only one limit to doing this, your mind! I love what that car is turning into!

[@JeronWhite]

Much much much much better looks.This is gonna be one cool car

[@CarswithNash]

Very cool, good work so far!

[@randysrestoration]

Great Idea!! Love it! Gotta love the 1966-67 Fairlanes and Comets too.

[@barryphillips7327]

Flintstone floors in the Fairlane 🤣those 289/302 Windsor are good engines. 👍👍

[@blakegriffis3462]

Very impressed man! Love 66-67 fairlanes

[@someonethatwatchesyoutube2953]

This makes so much sense to me and I’m surprised this isn’t done more.

[@aired-downdisconnected4125]

I've seen it done with a 51 Chevy and a 80's caprice . Even has ac.

[@TheRoadhammer379]

It's actually an industry all its own, there are reproduction 69 charger bodies that get put on crown vic chassis. First saw it at a Dukes of Hazzard show. Search crown vic Charger on YT

[@smhaceofspades2813]

HOLY SMOKES I can't fathom the time in metal work and patience. GOOD ON AND ROCK ON MAN.

[@S197Trinity]

I appreciate the effort put into this, especially since its being done in your driveway. Looking great so far

[@ezerod1858]

Awesome job! That Fairlane remains 100% Ford with that retrofit.

[@jimh3362]

What HUGE amount of work!! This looks great. Wish more kids your age were into this kind of work. Not crazy about your flared fender idea, but keep up the good work. You are inspiring!!! Looks forward to seeing your progress.

[@therealmcoy]

Im with you on the flared fender idea. I’d try different offset wheels or slightly modified wheel arch that would be less noticeable.

[@terrallputnam7979]

This build is very cool. Everyone is dropping 69 charger, 65 mustang bodies on newer chassis, but this is a little bit different and the Fairlane is also a sporty family car.

[@therealmcoy]

It’s awesome to see someone your age interested in doing work like this.

[@KravMike08]

Excellent work man!!!!!!!!! Look forward to seeing the journey to a badass end result!!!!!!

[@samuelstephenson3535]

Awesome! I have a 66 and been wondering about body swapping it. Keep going with this, I am.looking forward to more on it

[@BigRockyD]

Now this is that shit I like!! No fancy shop lifts equipment just heart talent and good friends. Nothing builds a car better than those 3 ingredients baby, god bless! Looking forward to more.

[@mcmillan1963]

Great job kid! Can't wait to see it complete. You're well on your way to a future in custom fabrication.

[@yebelcampos6248]

You are an awesome young men and tremendously self motivated. God bless you and thank your sharing your knowledge and skill

[@junior4969]

Its awesome to see people do this .... It takes a long time .....oneday u can look back and say i had a go .... Self motivation is a big must in life .... Cheers from australia

[@kennywilliams9280]

I have a 67 Fairlane too. That's great build. You have gave me lots of ideas. Awesome job !!

[@joeshmoe1316]

Every day you work you are actually playing keep up the fun you are a lucky young man

[@traxiii]

Awesome use of a couple of hulks, its should be a beautiful Frankenstein of a hot rod, great idea and execution so far.

[@timhuggins7069]

I like the mid-sixties fairlanes too. My first car at 17 was a 66 fairlane. Then got into 65 mustangs. Would love to have a 66 390 fairlane today.

[@timwegman5776]

GD my friend byou are my hero! All these other body swaps on YT but you are the only one I see so far that has went that extra mile I mean this is the way I day dream about doing on right down to the power windows and locks. And because the mustang is so new the dash and interior will look great. This car is truly going to be magnificent, what a great job man and I am only half way throught the video. I love it!

[@poisoncustoms3950]

That is an awesome build! Can't wait to see the end product!

[@dorianfulton7168]

Good luck, man. Those Fairlanes are good looking cars.

[@creightongoodwin7535]

Excellent job!!! Multiyear builds are the most rewarding... Doing something similar with a 1996 GMC Safari Van and a 1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe (working outside and five years into it).

[@jerrycraig6522]

That's just cooler than anything, very impressive!!!

[@johnwakley1951]

I think you Guys are doing a wonderful job taken 2 wrecked cars built into 1 keep up the incredible work I'll keep watching !!!

[@young11984]

Thats awesome man, instead of crushing 2 cars you blended them to have the best of both worlds.

[@davidmatousek4483]

Interesting,glad it will back on the road

[@jameskillian747]

I'll be watching. Really awesome idea.

[@81cutlass93]

Any updates on the fairlane

[@brandona4618]

This was how they built the cars for the newer dukes movies. But turned crown vics into general lees. So when they jumped them they werent destroying an already rare chassis.

[@boozer2462]

I can't believe you done that that amazed me, great video

[@murto30]

Pure motor magic! Awesome job

[@ralphmenta249]

That thing is gonna be pretty sweet. Old school look with new comforts. Once you are done with the ARMY you can do this full time and make good money while you do what you love.

[@dugganracecraft]

That's pretty impressive, James. You should be very proud of your hard work. There's a lot of people out there that wouldn't dream of trying this.

[@ernestthomas3965]

Great work! That will be one badass mustlane when you're finished!

[@jamesbinning2825]

Fairstang!

[@TonyTheBassPlayer1]

I always wondered if such a thing was possible. As much work as it is, I still think what you did here, in the long run, is the most cost and time effective way to do a restomod. Awesome job sir

[@buckhelser1853]

AWSOME!!!! Keep up the good work!!! I love how you are thinking outside the box... and being so creative!!!

Hey Man, end of the day it's all metal, rubber, plastic and glass! Welding and seam dealer. You've done the hard part and it looks factory. Follow through and complete you'll have a modern old classic.

Don't worry about the naysayers man, you're doing a good job. And I hope it inspires people of your age to get off the couch and try and pick up a new skill or tackle something they aren't confident they can do!

Really cool project. Be careful how you refer to it or someone's widow might show up and make you put it in the crusher.

[@alshotrodsandratrods8780]

Not a problem unless it's a 67 Mustang fastback with all the special panels used on the original movie car. If you do that and don't call it Eleanor you're still ok and safe from the copyright infringement lawsuits. You can name a Fairlane or any other car Eleanor. The copyright is only applies to exact replicas of that ugly Nickolas Cage car.

[@jamescutler8055]

I have seen that done with the Crown Vic so this should be very interesting.

[@kennyguillotte1881]

Great work! Stumbled across this and looking forward to seeing more!

[@jeremyedgell9989]

So cool. This I like.... I'm old school. I like every all original. If it is restorable! But I'm all for taking something that other wise would be crushed and bringing life back to it. Awesome job brother!! By the way my dad ran a 66 galaxy back in the 70s. He ran size 60s on the front and 50s on the back. Fender wheels we're not a issue. He's said plenty of Clarence.

[@mikeobrien3744]

Very cool. Can't wait to see it drive.

[@tomp1612]

That is ambitious! Good to see it worked. I would have assumed the Mustang is way too wide to get the tires under the Fairlane but it's close enough you could get away without flares if you could get wheels with more offset. The power windows shouldn't be much of an issue if you have already tackled the stuff shown.

[@robertlewis1965]

Nice restomod, keep it going , it'll be awesome .

[@piercehawke8021]

Major respect here; saving a now rare Fairlane with a totaled 21st Century Mustang as the drivetrain/chassis donor. I kinda sorta get the impression your 1967 will give you less grief dialing things in vs Sir Godzilla Stang

Most interesting body swaps I ever saw

[@markmccarty9793]

This would be awesome! Had a 67 Comet and my friend has a 390gta Fairlane back in 76!! I likes the Comets longer trunk, but the big block Fairlane was an awesome package! Much rather have a 67 Fairlane or Comet than a 67 Mustang! They're everywhere!! Been hunting my Comet for years!

[@wolfshedler5898]

good job man i am impressed

[@caseykirk9096]

Cool build! I've seen a Charger body dropped onto a Viper frame pretty much just like this so I know it can be done. Can't wait to see how this one turns out!!

[@dougj.8288]

You sir are going places, I will be shocked if I don’t see you with a TV show eventually!!!

[@sonnymaile9325]

Love your videos dude. Your out of the box thinking is awesome. would love to see more in depth videos of your progress. I don't know if that's your direction you are heading, but video documenting your process is something I am very interested in. It's fascinating the things you are doing, but I feel you are missing out on some of the steps you take to get you where you are going. I have no doubt your presence on YT would blow up if that's the direction you are going. Again great ideas man. Respect.

Awesome! I can't wait to see the next vid on this build!

[@SteveMirabelli]

The window motor is an easy hack. If you get those aftermarket power window motor kits they just slip over the window cranks and then just wire into the mustang harness at the motor plug. After doing a 2 month redesign on my Charger body over project for the doors I just put kit motors on the rear windows and it was a quick and simple solution. Just had to make custom door cards to cover the motors. Nice job by the way.

[@kickit59]

Dude I like the 5 liter Mustangs and the Fairlane! You made a good call to combine them! Considering what you have to work with and being outside simply outstanding! I hope you post some follow up videos so we can follow the build!
