How To Convert a 67 Mustang Coupe to a Fastback Part 3

I am sharing some of the progress for the 1967 Mustang Coupe. It will be converted into a Fastback. Today we are working on fitting the doors, quarter panels and trunk lid along with some other ares of the car. I share with you how to make the trunk lid fit without modifying the trunk lid. I am also sharing detailed information of how to correctly align and modify the trunk lid transmission panel. Towards the end of the video I have given measurements of the rear window opening.

Ahh just the video I needed, Ive found the deck lid the most challenging part of this project so far. Excellent tips in here…thanks for posting!

[@cvclassics]

Glad it was helpful, good luck on your build!

What a great concept so well executed by a man with exceptional experience and skills. I for one cannot wait to see the outcome. I only wished that people who worked on my cars were so indulgent and careful to do the job exceptionally.

[@cvclassics]

Thank you so much for your kind words!!! Additional videos of this build will be coming as we will document paint prep, paint, glass install, new vintage air AC and more. Please subscribe if you haven’t already so you don’t miss future videos. Thanks again!

Very nice job and explanation of where you had problems and what you did to solve the problems. When I did my quarter panels I ran into the problems in the exact same areas, it was a struggle. I hate how some guys show all of these panels going on with no problems when you know that is not the case with aftermarket panels.

[@cvclassics]

So true. Very few aftermarket parts work without some type of adjustment or modification. Thanks for sharing your experience and checking out my video.

[@ejceles]

Excellent detailed video. Thank you very much for posting.

[@cvclassics]

Thank you

[@johngranato2673]

I wish those quarters were available when I restored by 68 FB.

[@cvclassics]

It’s amazing how many parts are available for these cars now.

[@waden404]

Outstanding work Carl. Great explanation on the issues u had and the incorporated fix.

[@cvclassics]

Thank you Wade!!

Love the video. You show much more than anyone else. I am right in the middle of my 68. One question I have is how the trap door support should be positioned. I cant find anything on it.

[@cvclassics]

It all goes together like a puzzle and in phases. The best way I can answer your question is to put it all together paying attention to the fitment of each and every step. It takes a lot of tweaking and patience to get it to all line up. If something is off it will push everything else off. Once everything is screwed into place test fit everything, window, bumper, and interior if you have it. Not sure if I answered your question but hope this helps. Good luck on your build.

Great video and nice fitment. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. Much appreciated. Did you have any issues with the deckled impinging the quarter panels around the radius? Thanks again.

[@cvclassics]

Had no problems at the radius (upper corners) it fit well in that area. Thanks for checking out my video

[@brianarrington4569]

Okay I get it now.. forget my comment on the previous video.. is it true that Parts companies can't make the exact Parts because Ford would sue them so that's why no parts really fit and you have to make it fit?.. and can you tell us the price of everything?

[@cvclassics]

No I have not heard of ford being able to sue for parts, especially for sheet metal. Some parts are licensed by ford and they do receive a kick back on those parts. As far as sheet metal there are only a few companies that are able to stamp them into shape. You get what you pay for as far as quality. Dynacorn sheet metal seems to be the best quality and fit if you are using all dynacorn parts. All parts require patience and figment to make them fit properly. But sticking to one manufacturer such as dynacorn helps to ensure they go together better since they make all the parts. That also use these same parts to dulled their complete bodies. As far as the price they have gone up dramatically since the COVID shipping and supply issues. The price may be slightly different between suppliers. It is best to shop around.

[@fdwsr71]

Question along with adjusting the door to the rear quarter panel, the front fender fitment should be tested also for gap to the front of the door?

[@cvclassics]

Agreed that was also done during the mock up. Alll of the sheet metal was put on and test fitted prior to the final figment and welding.

[@julioarenas8476]

What an amazing executed job Sir. Congrats, is this your personal project? How much is this conversition.

[@cvclassics]

Thank you ! No this is not my car it belongs to a client. The sheet metal for the conversion has gone up in price but it is between 5 to 6 thousand. Labor for a quality shop will be between 6 to 10 thousand. Thanks for checking out my video

[@julioarenas8476]

@@cvclassics I looked at a few other builds, but gotta say yours is definetely the best. You pay attention to detail. Would u do this for my mustang.

[@cvclassics]

@@julioarenas8476 Hello Julio, Yes I can do this for you. My shop is in Clearwater Florida, and I currently have a waiting list of cars to come into the shop. If you are serious and would like to discuss further, you can email me at [e-mail] I will be happy to answer any questions and thank you for inquiring. Carl

[@brianarrington4569]

Why not use laser levels?

[@cvclassics]

I showed the process that worked for me, laser levels would work as well

[@mikeseldomridge8052]

Was the trunk square

[@cvclassics]

Yes you want to make sure everything is square

[@dentes1185]

Fiberglass parts are manufactured even worse than sheet metal parts There’s a lot of work in there to make it fit, it’s an hassle to work. You need a lot of patience.

[@cvclassics]

You are absolutely correct in your statements. The hood and trunk lid were extremely wavy and not even close to being flat when the blocking phase started. Required a lot of time and effort to get them to fit and to get them flat.

[@dentes1185]

@@cvclassics On hoods, we had more layers of fiberglass , It gives thickness, so you don’t see through.
