My 1st car my Dad bought me for my 16th birthday in 1983 was a 67 Mustang... Father son build..needed a motor and floor boards... My Dad just sandwich sheet metal bottom and top with some nuts and bolts sealed with roofing tar...not pretty at all but it worked 😎

You have to remember back in the 80s theses coups where not wanted or expensive so shady work was done to get them by

Really good work, reminded me of what i was looking at when removed all of the so called patches in my footwell. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

You have come along nicely, with your metal skills. Like your "boxing" of the frame rail to the repair sections you repealed... As for all of the patches, in various locations, that's what this kinda job is going to need... If we, (us enthusiast's), we're to replace the next entire panel, every time we found "more rust" , we'd be fools.. We'd might as well just buy a new Dynacorn body shell, and be done with it.. I've got videos of my own jobs adding both front torque boxes on my 65 Fastback... I can share them, if you'd like..?

That sounds like a good idea. I haven't seen any 65, 66 torque box installs. My 66 hardtop did not have them, but I plan to put some it.

Your best bet would have to replace the whole floor with trunk frame rails already assembled 😮

For sure. Knowing what I know now that's the way to go.

You're too hard on your self...i had doubts but it's coming together....Piece by piece....The great part is it never ends..As long as you own this car, it's always something....always....

@13:10 ish, you mention how _some_ years didn't have torque boxes. My understanding is that they ALWAYS existed on convertibles and also on 'export' vehicles. For the notch-back and fastback, it was dependent on which plant they were built in as well as the year model. (My 64-1/2 convertible had the 'remnants' of torque boxes but, like the rockers, they had been subjected to many years of 'weight reduction'. Thankfully, the front and rear frame rails were still quite decent)

How do know the hood hinge mount holes are located properly? They were pretty wallowed out before?

@ProjectBarn Жыл бұрын

Each side had one of the original mounting holes still intact. So I installed the hinge with those new plates and centered them in the holes that were wallowed out.
