My mother recently passed n left me her 67 Mustang. Was her main driver but sitting for 11 years. Intent on bringing it back to life. Found you searching about the car. Excuse the following bs comment but true, not sure why but the mustache n glasses almost made me click away from video BUT watched just long enough to appreciate your efforts, content. My friend please be repetitive give way too much detail. Love it. Subscribed. I also have a gen 1 2002 tundra that the frame is notorious for rusting out. I bet if you made a series of videos addressing all the issues your subs would go through the roof. More details, more specifics, more repetition all good - do your thing.

Im sorry to hear about your mother 😔 I hope you can bring the mustang back to It’s former glory. Yeah unfortunately I can’t fix the glasses problem I’ve had them since I was a baby. But I’m glad you watched it anyway and I’m glad it was helpful. I’m currently making a build series for this car and I’m going in as much detail as I can. My build is going to be pretty custom, but a lot the rust repair is going to applicable to most builds. Thanks again for the sub, I really do appreciate it!

Its nice to see you restoring this car. I am working on a 68 Mercury Cougar and it has the same rusty frame rail issue. Your struggle will help me struggle a little less. Thanks!

Keep up the good work brother! I love watching your videos. It helps motivate me on my projects when I’m struggling.

Child proof containers of any kind are definitely a struggle lol I admitted it! All kidding aside the amount of detail you put into every video is really amazing!

[@TheWoWgam3r]

Yupp I agree with you lol.

[@TheDailyDrift]

It’s so true, luckily I don’t have any children so I can just remove them 😂 well thanks, I try to show as much as I can in case someone else ever needs the info.

Wish me luck soon I'm gonna fabricate the license plate panel on my Miata.

[@TheDailyDrift]

Good luck I’m sure it’ll come out sweet!

@@TheDailyDrift your welds looked pretty good on that frame

[@chrissplace392]

Love the vids. This is a little late but you mentioned using Acetone or Brake Cleaner to clean metal for welding. Acetone is great, but never, never use Brake Cleaner to clean metal to weld. The heat of the weld affects the residue of the brake cleaner (chlorine or related compounds) & created a toxic gas (phosgene gas, used in WWI). It can & has killed welders. Not worth the risk, stick to Acetone.

Instead of cutting out the rust, could you replace the whole brace? I have a 67 Mustang with some rust. I haven't gotten that far to the frame.

[@TheDailyDrift]

You could replace the entire frame rail, but I was lucky enough that I didn't need to. I think CJ pony parts sells entire replacements if it's needed.

Smart to do the test weld first.
