Love how he laughs at what is going to become a memory and a education of expense he will not want to rejoin again. Should be nice after you replace virtually the whole car. But what the hell it will have the original vin # if they are not rusted off. Lol 😂 good luck my friend. I’m glad I still have my 68 GT 390 4 speed blue fast back that I bought back in 1981 with beautiful rust free body for $750 now on display in my show floor.

... u possibly bought mine from somebody back at that time - then again probably not cuz I sold it to a guy back in '80 for 2k. Car was mint - I stripped the paint off the whole car to bare metal - not a spec of rust or bondo cuz i had a minor fender bender n wasnt into tryin a paint match n wanted to see just how clean n solid the body actually was BUT life got in the way of finishing so I sold it prime sealed ready to paint. Was a Texas car i picked up when doin a stint in the svc. - took it back home to PA after the svc. deal n did the work to it. Dammmm I miss that car !

One day I decided I was going to the beach so I got in my Mustang to drive drive drive all the way down to Ocean Beach in SF. The police came up to me and asked if they could drive me back home, good thing since it was all uphill. Best day ever.

Resto-mod seems like a great way to go! (dark blue with a white stripe as per original spec would be very nice, although I’d say some creature comforts that enhance the car as is would be enough (limited slip rear, updated suspension and steering components, maybe even air con/stereo etc if you want something that is enjoyable for longer trips) But I probably wouldn’t make it too “modern looking’, maybe some elements from the 1970s at its extreme (fat back tyres, chrome mags, polished engine bay, etc..)

I let her go about 8 years ago and have regretted it ever since. I don’t think I will ever be able to get a rust free unrestored mustang again, unless I win the lottery. Enjoy your new project!

I bought a 1965 F250 in similar condition to yours for $500. Everyone else was scared off by the major rust damage in and around the cab. Well. 6 months and a little sheet metal fabrication, and I have a brand new F250 with ZERO rust anywhere. No holes. Brand new paint. Spent around 3k on everything. I reccomend watching Fitzee's Fabrication youtube channel. He does alot of body work on old classics. Teaches you how to remake old metal auto body parts.

What's up Omar! Hope you're doing good and staying out of the sun big homie 😉 My first car was a 1995 Mustang; only because I didn't know how to work on old cars but still wanted a Mustang. Like you said that's how it starts.... I've now owned 8 Mustangs of all kinds, 2 of them Shelby gt500's, and we just bought the missus a gorgeous '65. Not gonna lie to you, that beautiful car sitting next to my '63 406 500XL in the garage makes me smile ear to ear every morning, and it all started with a goofy 16 year old and a weak, underpowered stock v6 coupe. Can't wait to see what you do that fastback bud! Congrats on acquiring your dream car-I know the feeling and it's fantastic.

Me and my lil bro grew up in Vegas not with alot of money, As early teens we started looking for are first project's I was fixated first on old mustangs then camaro's till on day i bought a 69' firebird 100% disasembled, At 16 I was over my head and never got tofar in getting it rolling. Then couple months later my dad came pulled us outta bed cause he won a 65' fastback 289 4speed in a poker game. I was so excited until he told me its for my 13 yr old brother. It was rough been sitting 10yrs but it ran. Then he spent a couple months just going thru fixing easy stuff. He even borrowed my License and took it to speed was and pulled low 14s in a old stock beatdown ford. then he spent the next 3 years working on that car none stop. During that time i found my 69' GTO and that just would motivate him more to keep wrenching along. Till finally that one summer he started bringing it out Looked like Joe Dirt owned but that fuckin thing was light and fast. He put in a big Donkey Dick cam, Duel 500cfm holleys on a high rise tunnel ram with a big bird catcher air cleaner with straight headers.

If you aren't to worried about trying to find a 428 or the like you should look into restomoding a barra into your beast. That combo will make the fastback boogie ahead of the pack and if done right, retain a/c p/s if u so desire. If you after parts or knowledge on the barra hit us up.

Using that as a mold and do it in with a fiberglass or carbon fiber and still build out........

Beautiful car. I am so jealous lol. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A REPAIR MANUAL FOR 60 THRU 63 FULL SIZE FORDS. ESPECIALLY THE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION. EVEN A PARTS LIST THAT SHOWS HOW ALL THE PARTS WOULD BE GREAT. I am an ER nurse and had just disassembled my 62 galaxie when covid hit. Now almost 3 years later I am going to assemble it, but original factory manual doesn't show anything. Thanks for any assistance that all of you can provide.

There are separate suspension, body, and electrical diagrams you can buy. I’m sure if you type it in google you can find hard copies. Buds classic car parts is a great vendor

After looking at that I'm thinking a 1968 Dynacorn shell around 18K would have been a better buy. It has been said that it's better to buy a car with a good body that has a bad engine than to buy a car with a good engine but has a bad body. Body-work is very costly.
@OmarRamirezGalaxie
@OmarRamirezGalaxie 2 жыл бұрын
I see your point. But factoring all the costs in buying a shell, like taxes, shipping, and miscellaneous. I’ll end up at about 22,500 with no VIN. If I were to include the cost of the one I bought and swap the vin, I’ll be at about 35k. At that point I would’ve just bought a nice rust free one for 35k. But I don’t have 35k in cash haha.

Glad to see you get your and on your own dream car, but damn this is a massive restoration project here, how about the structural integrity of the entire car, the frame seems in prety bad shape too ? Beautiful car but never been fond of stangs, here in France common pepole know anything about us cars but mustangs, thats a bit boring :-D, in my opinion your Galaxie is way much cooler ...
