Hacked Up Mess To Safe Driver : The 1965 Mustang Rear Frame Rails Get A Upgrade!

[@DeanMehrtens]

Man this job is mind blowing. When you said there was more work than the car was worth you weren’t talking crap!!! You have replaced the entire floor pan and rails from windscreen to the back. And beautiful work by the way.😎

[@RustyZipper]

I’m not sure how the owner found you but that was the best decision he made. Not many folks would take the time / patience to do this properly. Hopefully in a month or two it will be back on the road!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Hopefully it won't be long now

[@jdrake8738]

You've been CAT SCANNED !

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

She's a good one

[@dave-uf8ir]

O 1982 had mickey thompson h50 15s withe us indi mags could make fog on request 😊

[@alanwhite3280]

I can't believe lm actually watching you rebuild the whole ass end of that vehicle!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

It basically needed everything

[@danielweith1075]

Tons of work out of the way, it is getting closer to becoming a car again. Great Job!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Won't be too long it will start looking like a mustang again

[@ricklong3218]

I like the 65 and 66 coupe. Think the smaller size looks better than the larger 67+ with the fastback. I think that guy is going to be MUCH happier after allowing you to PROPERLY repair the ol girl! Already looks 1000x better! Nice work bub!

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Thank you

[@paulgrimm]

That owner must really love that car

[@johnreece3882]

It's my favourite American car real style I always wanted a MACH 1 Mustang.

[@dave-uf8ir]

Rock on excellent 😊

[@bryanpiereson8083]

Thanks, I'm enjoying all your work.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Awesome, thank you!

[@farmerpete5936]

Another great video on the Mustang refix.

[@robertthomas5590]

Thanks for sharing.

[@artmellon8852]

Moving along, still not too late to do it as a fastback.... LOL.... Looking good.

[@hickeyskustomresto]

I'd second that motion 👍 Lol

[@billyduffany3387]

The kit to make it a fastback is over $6000, unless you can find a cheap fastback donor car.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Absolutely, I think he is going to go back to the coupe though

[@dave-uf8ir]

I miss my hy po 289 fast back 65 poppy red ran like 2 stroke motorcycle cheers 🥂 guys 😊

[@dave-uf8ir]

2+2 wish still had that car ran it hard in Arizona college early 80s messed it up on ice road 1983 traded for 71 mach 1 4sp car still have that car good shape grabber blue cheers 🥂

[@connormark646]

Such a shame - that car wasn’t the worst I’ve seen before all the shoddy metal work. You’re doing great work and the owner will be able to enjoy with peace of mind.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

At least it will be safe to drive this go around

[@JimsFastbackGarage]

I have never done the rear frame rails on a mustang but this gives me something to refer to if I need to. 👍

[@dave-uf8ir]

😊

[@darrenbyrne4622]

Excellent work fantastic video you are doing a real nice job on that and when its finished the owner can drive it with confidence knowing that it's been repaired right this time really enjoyed cant wait for the next vid

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnreece3882]

This a real pleasure to watch your skill at mettalwork, I was a mechanic for the British Allied forces in Berlin as civilian after I finished 12 years as a soldier, John Reece From Good old UK.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Thanks for watching John

[@johnreece3882]

Hi Hotrod Guy could you give me a mention on your video please thank you regards John Reece here in UK.

[@stuwallack9783]

Great video

[@conradlau7415]

Put the 300 six in that for a surprise

[@frizzellracing]

The owner is gonna have a nice safe car when all the pain is over.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Absolutely

[@KeylanGladden]

I just saw you

[@Bbbbad724]

These poor Mustangs have been cut up sliced diced and thrown together. I found one the had a T engine Vin in one spot ( 6 cyl coupe) but the car was a 65 Fastback? Another Vin was a D code coupe. Another was an A code 225 hp automatic transmission fastback that matched the door tag and title. 3 cars welded together. I called the highway patrol to see what to do and they validated the fastback 225 hp auto vin, and it had a title and the hidden Vins were fixed. It was a mess to get it right. The top was welded to a patched coupe. I am blind now and disabled and that car when I was 40 took 10 years to finish. And I was done for. I miss my cars. My 65 LTD with the 500 hp 390 is sitting and I miss that car .

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Absolutely it's very common

[@DeanMehrtens]

At least I know that you are a guy that should sleep well at night knowing you actually give a Damb about the safety of your customers and not just how fat ya wallet gets. Truely talented. I do think the people that sent that car on the road like it was should be exposed so real car people don’t lose there dreams to those maggots

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Thanks for watching and the kind words

[@timsacco6g694]

UUUUGH!, Rustangs!, the most cliche car on the planet, good work though, sir

[@CasperthefriendlyG10T]

You should rent out your services to prospective buyers. You could save people a ton of heartbreak for a nominal fee.

[@RustyZipper]

I agree ☝️ For $100-200 this owner would have saved over $10k in repairs… A pre-purchase inspection is always a wise investment!

[@6996brandyl]

I think I would have tack that whole car up with the 1/4 panels and trunk lid on it before I welded anything solid

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

From the point the trunk floor is installed the quarters and taillight panel will have to be fitted as a assembly

[@bryantinsley4506]

I am replacing a partial frame rail on a 66 mustang convertible and I noticed that the place where the spring attaches to the frame rail is a 1/2 inch closer to the back of the car compared to the original frame rail , did I get a bad part or do I have to replace both sides for it to be Even. I still have the tail light panel attached. Quarter panels, trunk floor have been removed.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Unfortunately quality just isn't there on these parts I was in the same boat it's close but not quite right in these areas but the shackles should compensate for some misalignment but just doing one side makes it a bigger issue

[@bluecollarperformance1331]

You missed and excellent opportunity to build a pro street mustang 😁

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

I wish!

[@KeylanGladden]

Like 1 minute ago

[@yomommaahotoo264]

Wish I even knew how to weld let alone fabricating all that shit.

[@HotRodGuyGarage]

Never to late to learn
