Ben, I enjoy the cross-over work with your brothers and even the Goozquad guys. You and Yuri have an awesome vibe when you gents work it out together. I like Yuri's 23rd as well, as he's getting it done over there in a major way.

Hey! Don't forget Sam Crac. That's where I first encountered Ben was when doing work with Sam.

[@rogersmith3960]

Really nice work. Some folks watching your design, fabrication, and build process questioned some of your ideas but a lot of them have don't have the vision to see the finished product. I get that all the time during that whole process.

[@mackenziepm]

I like to call the arm chair commentators on these build shows. The Flabrictaors.

[@123456789oldenholden]

Alot would be right. As a custom car builder of 18 years there are alot of things wrong with this build. Alot of people don't know about building cars and praise work that is inferior as they don't know any better. Good on him for trying but in this day and age the knowledge is at your fingertips, us old school folks had nothing but books and training to rely on or trial and error. This guy needs to sit down for 5 minutes and plan out builds, flying by the seat of your pants is not how to build a car, as is evident by his other mustang that is sitting collecting rust as he didn't spend even 5 minutes planning out his chassis. No bead rolling on his panels will cause oil caning and bead rolling would have added more strength than using thicker flat panels in his engine bay. He hasnt even done fitment of steering column and master cylinders with the engine in for crying out loud and yet it's "ready for paint" He built a transmission tunnel without the trans even in the car....And now again hes ready for paint and he has the standard diff and rear end in there still....could go on and on. People like to think just because he has a youtube channel he is more knowledgeable, which is a farce.

[@hashtagguy1]

@@123456789oldenholden You obviously don’t watch all of his videos because he did actually have the transmission in the car before he cut so relax buddy

[@ethan5610]

Love that I see this comment then the next 3 under it are people questioning him like shhhhhh let him finish then you can say what's wrong

[@jacklittle1624]

@@123456789oldenholden Yes, I am sure you are a gifted and master builder🙄 Please link your KZbin channel so you can profile your work, so Ben and his brother Yuri can realize all the mistakes they are making and learn from your years of studying and experience😂😂😂

[@wackyack3165]

Having welded on the upper cowl - how will the wiper motors and linkages be accessed ?

[@dave1135]

He either forgot that little detail, or he won't have any. Also hasn't fitted the column or brake booster yet

Traditional Shelby-wimbledon white, daytona blue metallic stripes. Do the fastback the same.

I love how the brothers all combine together. Powerful positive energy.

[@wdmfan]

I think you should work on steering, brake booster, battery location, cutting, welding etc. Before paint work.

[@theanythingchannel2239]

That's easy stuff. Battery will go in the boot

[@AMLagonda]

I wouldnt call that "paint work"

[@robertrudeseal4200]

love watching your work in process. I get a lot of new information from you guys. Thanks for sharing so much of your expertise with us. Great work and a great job with the Mustang.

[@rufusmagilucutty3500]

I noticed that the vertical bars at the front of the cowl have large voids of sheet metal around them. You will get a shower from under the dash if it rains

[@slv2thaGrind]

Yes I'm the one always telling you to PUT ON SOME DAMN EYE PROTECTION! I was heating up a nut to remove a control arm years ago when a rubber bushing EXPLODED sending hot rubber directly into my eye gluing my contact to the lens of my eye. I was that guy who refused to wear safety glasses until that day. I'd appreciate seeing much more content from you. Damnit, I'm about to send you cases of different types of eye protection. Ty and have a nice day.

[@uncleremus3211]

Does Yuri ever slip wearing cowboy boots on the cement floors? lol. Also, please have him address the old cringe videos he was in on the Goonzquad channel.

[@joep.8805]

Ben, the under cowl had 2 dams at the cabin air intakes to prevent water infiltration but you cut 2 entry points for the frame down tubes. How do you plan to seal to prevent water entry and how do plan to drain the water out of that space?

[@chasestewart302]

I hope he adds the drip rail back he cut out.

[@eriklarson9137]

I think that's the most fisheyes I have ever seen in my 30 years of autobody work. I ain't even mad, I am impressed.

[@rayadams5926]

I was noticing no drains in the cowl, thats the real weak link in the mustangs, also noticed Ben was saying he wanted the exterior to look, OEM, if thats the case he needs a 65 grill, they were honeycomb design

[@chasestewart302]

Agree about the cowl though the drip rails do provide function but also are part of the original look. Just looks weird to me with them cut off

[@davidj4662]

@@chasestewart302 The kids like the shaved look, maybe he can put a Hydraulic low rider setup with a shag carpet interior and a cucaracha horn

[@SNELLERIZED]

What about the huge gap between the lower cowl panel and tubes that you installed? That has to be water tight. All water from the roof and windshields drain into that area. You'll never be able to drive this car in the rain or even use the windshield wipers.

[@b_for_brett]

Wipers can’t be connected up now the cowl is welded on anyway 🤷‍♂️

[@kevindimauro9689]

Alpine White makes sense and also would look great with two light blue racing stripes down the center.

[@ranig2848]

Nice work. I vote for super deep mercury silver metallic- with multiple coats of clear coat to make it super deep.

[@perryelyod4870]

For colour inspiration, check out the original colours in 1965, and tweak on of those to your liking. Of course, a white with blue stripes colour scheme would suit this car, even if it may be cliche. If you go for something completely different, I still think Audi Exclusive Verdant Green is a fantastic colour. Just not silver or grey please. There's enough of those on the roads today. Like, seven out of ten cars maybe?

[@bonarhya25146]

I think Candy Apple Red or Green would look amazing

[@trainmanbob]

A great pleasure to see two brothers working in total harmony and producing top quality work. Really looking forward to the primer coat.

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

The best part of this is you brothers helping each other out. I watch all of your channels. The work you all put out is refreshing to watch. Thank you to a of you for sharing. Marc.. great camerawork too! Stay safe and be well! Slava Ukraini

Hey Ben,I'd love to see the Mustang with a reverse paint scheme of Ford Blue with White Stripes,OR Canary Yellow with Black stripes!!!!!

[@vegask2]

You gotta go with the gray color from gone in sixty seconds!!!!

[@kaydesign]

I have a 1967 Mustang Coupe in Wimbledon White with a blue interior. Awesome ‘racy’ combination. Respect to your hard work!

[@rimfire2642]

This is crazy nice. This shows what VTuned can do. This is so much better than the other mustangs approach, and it's not going to weight 6000 lbs. Hopefully if the other Mustang ever does get built, it will be more along these lines than the entire car being far over engineered to the strength of a locomotive (and weight...LOL). So nice job, my unprofessional highly armature opinion, this is very impressive.

[@regkershaw]

Looking good vtune. White or black. I'm from Australia and a well known mustang here is owned by a guy named Gary myres who was a burnout king and his mustang was black and it looked fantastic. So black would be my choice. Keep up the good work 👍

[@allanrichards3752]

The classic Mustangs were painted a Wimbledon white. This to me is a superb colour a little more creamy than the performance white and the Alpine white. As I live just down the road from Wimbledon I think you should consider this colour. Great build by the way and I actually prefer the shape of the coupe to the fast back. Don't know if I am allowed to say that though!!!

[@mrksimm2002]

Don't forget about the seam sealer, get some drain holes in the cowl, fit the break booster and steering box and make sure everything is on point before getting fired up with paint.... I'd go with silver smoke Grey with the Shelby stripes in Wimbledon white.. both are factory colors.... would be a sleeper

[@daynerampersad8968]

paint it in Grabber Lime Green or Ford Performance Blue from the 2020 GT500 with gunmetal gray stripes

[@quicksilver1615]

I think the color scheme of the original GT 350 would look good. White with the twin blue stripes. You are doing a great job as usual.

[@larryheagren5171]

If you do it white it needs to be Ford Wimbledon White which Ford has used for years. If not check out the '65 Mustang colors and pick your favorite.

[@Amxracer]

Billet Aluminum hinges would look great Ben !

[@ahmetaktasoglu294]

You should paint british racing green and apply white stripes on it .That'd be SICK

[@carloscarway8145]

Hey buddy, Bring that mustang to a good chassis shop and have the roll cage done and unibody frame connected. You’ll learn a ton and get some tips!!! Its coming along nicely.

[@rafamastalerz9184]

That will be a short answer. What do you think about Nightmist Blue ? For me is the best colour for Mustang...

[@lcdconsultant5252]

We like seeing you weld and figuring out transmission tunnels and stuff. You do such a interesting job figuring it out. Don't hide it from us. Your working well with your brothers and is amazing and great role model for younger viewers.

[@RamandChevyOwner]

Victory red would look real good.white stripe down middle like II.and chrome rims and chrome bumpers

[@sammydavis991]

Holy fuck. 4.31. Are you seriously not wearing a face shield or eye protection of any kind?

[@kernelfactory7839]

I once had a midnight blue '66 Mustang. The paint job looked like mirrors.

[@dominicanito91]

you know friend your brother or friend who is with you in the video makes a good team you and him keep doing projects like that together I really like watching your video thank you

[@Kadeee__b]

White with blue stripes or a nice lime green with or without black strips, lime gold green looks good too or purple!! Can't wait to see the progress on this

[@jonathanhaxhe]

Definetely keep the original colors: white with blue stripes! Nice work guys

[@RogerM88]

Instead of welding the cowl, you should bolt it in. While you're there you should start fabricating the roll cage, connecting the front bars to it. Since you have flat panels in the engine bay, weld some thin bars to strengthen it and avoiding flexing noises while driving.

[@dlux703]

Just what I was about to question. What about the roll cage that was supposed to connect to those tubes/bars in the engine bay? Why are they just chopped off at the cowl with no structural function? Getting too impatient can mean you need to go back and re-do stuff, like the frame on the other Mustang?

[@vancearmstrong5476]

Keep it white , white is a nice clean color that hides many types of body flaws... I'd put the strips back on it as well...

[@stuartmorton2689]

You’re going to pay a heavy price later in life for not using ear muffs, and it’s only a matter of time till you get metal shards in your eyes, or worse. Use your brain, it’s evident you have one.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I haven’t watched for while but it progressing real well 👍👍👍

[@delboytrotter7902]

Gotta be whatever color the car came out of the factory with. A car so gorgeous should be kept stock, IMO

[@RemedialRob]

What happened to the '66 Mustang that he was custom framing like five times over?

[@groundzero4044]

You should paint it the same color the new rams are coming out with , is like a ( bone white / egg shell white type color ) metallic with just a small hint of pearl ..

[@rsprockets7846]

wiper motor and clutch linkage? and brake boostr fab for mounting?

[@MrSmart1]

The best color will be blue candy color or pearl white color with Tan Interior it will look awsome and very special..

[@rogerthainesr.7002]

Protect those Eyes! Retro-Stang is coming along nicely. Your brother is a hell of a welder. Did you guys learn all this from your Dad? Keep up the work and can't wait to see the Finished Product!

[@Worship1602]

I liked the white with the blue racing stripe. Classic cool

[@kittonsmitton]

Nice Progress, good to see brothers working together! Alpine White sounds cool, would you put twin blue racing stripes on it?

[@raymondtuckerjr1886]

Excellent work today V. You looked comfortable for the first (my perspective) time with the 'stang. Today's music was perfect for your flow and you're looking good!

[@marklang8013]

I believe you are getting in a rush to paint there is still a ton of mechanical work that needs to be done before paint should even be thought of

[@PatDorcey]

Paint it Alpine White with Blue Stripes like it was! Great work so far!

[@I-apologize-in-advance]

I like white with gray (garage wall color) stripes w/gray interior. Looking amazing!!

Love how the engine bay is coming out. I’m hoping you’re keeping the white and blue stripes as it was. Regardless what color you choose I’m sure it’s going to look great.

[@urbextravexplores7514]

I was thinking white and the blue or maybe a lighter blue strips on it would would look sick

[@adbirdk]

Egg shell white with some popping blue stripes..

[@startingtech3900]

alpine white with the shelby blue stripes down the middle....

[@keithbray5131]

Por15 should have gone under the cowl

[@Vtuned]

It’ll be fine I’ll also spray some cavitiey wax in there but these panels sat out side for months and barely rusted and this car won’t be in the rain at all

[@peterseitz3476]

Hi Ben, it's always great to see when you-all brothers work so well together. I have a question about the inner cowling panel that Yuri welded in. Are there drainage holes for rainwater, or have you thought later of them? I couldn't see anything in the pictures. Y-all doing good work and I have respect for your projects. Keep it up and I'm looking forward to the next video. Best regards from Germany.
