I guess this is the point where most projects get abandoned as the actual work is very dull...watching someone else do it is very entertaining, especially with a nice sarcastic soundtrack and no RUclips friendly banal Muzak. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see it start to take shape. I have to say, you have an immense amount of patience.
Air chisel, grinder, drill, sawzall, ratchet wrenches, impact gun, those are all the music we need! Scott’s one liners are great as well. We don’t need no stinking techno!
Oh I miss George aka mr. SPOTTY. Maybe he took the day off. Thumbs up and thanks for sharing your build. In the pile of SCRAP metal. I'm confused about the way you disassemble the floor pan, but I think you have a plan. Thanks again!!!
Great video! Slow and steady it’s transforming. For the final video of this series you need to quote Hannibal Smith from the A Team...”I love it when a plan comes together” while smoking a cigar!
It's not only Fords that have the issue with the seized front spring bolts. I've encountered this exact same issue with 60's Holdens. Any time I'm replacing these bolts, I always coat them with marine (waterproof) grease. In fact, I use marine grease on a lot of fittings that are exposed to the elements. The project is progressing nicely. Looking forward to the next episode. I wish you had more time to post videos more often, as it's a long week, waiting for the next instalment. But I know you have other projects that you have to do to earn your living, so we just have to be patient and wait for the next "Ford Friday", which is Saturday morning here in Australia when you post the video.
Nice touch - finished up with a standard Ford bucket seat - metal folding chair - and the convertible top up. Classic. Enjoyed the video. Can't wait until you marry the two "tangs" together. Will that make it a twanger???
I just replaced the shocks on my duramax yesterday and I swear they're the original ones from factory. Only saying that because I have a dually and the rear shocks are the same style. When you said I win when cutting the rear shackle bolt out all I could think about was grinding the top of my shock mounts off. There was no getting the bolts out. Bonus I didn't even have to take the tires off.
@@vehcor ... Marketing idea: Cut everything in the pile into one inch square pieces, numbered, labeled and mounted in a frame...."This is an official part of a project worked on by Vehcor". You'll make a fortune.
what's funny is: back when they was made they spot welded each of those welds with a big 2 jaw spot welder.......no robots then! Now the body parts go into a jig and a robot zap zap zap in minutes......
👍👍👍 great vids...lots of people dont even fathom how much work goes into a restoration......than go to complete resto mod...better have a good eye and a better tape measure. Thanks for the ride
Scott very fast and efficient tear down on the old Stang! I am really looking forward to the re-assembly stage when you put the new with the old that will be cool!
Great Video Scott 😁👍 someone should buy you a roll of Manitoba chrome for your birthday so you can fix that glove of yours there its getting a wee bit holey moley there. 🙂 And I see you gave Mr. Spotty the day off as well that was nice.
Just changed rear springs on my ‘68 Cougar. I feel your pain, except my frozen bolt was on the passenger side. Guess which one I did first and was expecting an easy job. I did not have an air hammer.
Thanks for another great vid from a fan, 3:35 thanks for sweeping up from a clean freak , 3:45 thanks for sweeping a ford into one place ! from Ford ;-)
It sure looked like that floor pan was getting to you for a moment. A win is a win. I told my wife you only seem upset for the camera. Your next move will be interesting. Get a run at it and smash it together Thanks for the show!
Beat you, used 2 blocks of wood today. One on the floor jack, one on the bottle jack. Both jacks under a Jeep TJ. While I worked under it. But they were only holding up the motor.
I feel like you took a roundabout way of removing the center of the car vs. Just running the sawzall down each side of the floor from the get go... But it is progressing well regardless.👍
That is another great video. I am trying to get an Allison MT643 out of my F800. I am afraid that I will have to go buy some of those power tools you keep showing off
I really like the way you work, you stick to your methods and ways. Anyone (me) probably would have taken the sawsall and gone apeshit with it on the floors! But you really overdid it with the ebrake cables, like, save them?😎 Keep at it man, i like it 👍
I’m wondering how the new front end is going to come together. Really just curious how the old sheet metal will be aligned and attached. Guess I’ll just have to keep watching!
What I gather is: he's going to narrow the 2015 floor pan to fit the 65 body allowing him to keep the 2015 front clip and rear suspension. Then weld it in place.
@@vehcor Well I can see you needing the rad support as it aligns the front fenders and grill, lower valance etc. Unless of course you plan to custom build a whole new one.... B is For Build found that the wheelbase on the 2015 was either a little shorter or longer than the 65. I can't recall which and his videos have been removed from some legal reason so I can't go back and figure out which. The front wheels weren't centered in the wheel opening. He was putting an Eleanor body kit on so he was able to mod the opening to fit.
18:00, Yeah, those bolts rust onto the steel sleeve in the rubber bushing it's almost impossible to get those bolts out. I had to torch cut the front of the springs off so I could torch the bolt close to the frame rail, and then punch the bolt heads out.
I wish I could see the whole thing as a binge watch like I did with a lot of your other builds once I discovered your channel. I say that because I'm not sure of what your plan is for what parts of both cars your planning to use in the final Frankenstein mustang.
Love the shirt!! And, I, too, say "I win!" all the time after fighting this insane rust here in the MIdwest. NYC cars were like Mecum auction cars in comparison. Lol
The shirt is available in the description if you want one. The “I win” just makes me feel better after winning a good struggle. Gotta trash talk the car once in a while! 😂
Great video. Maybe you need assistance from the afternoon crew. Wonder how many man hr. it took you on this operation. I went thru a similar project of restoring a 67 Mustang. I left the original body and just repaired the rust and used the same engine, trans. etc. I worked on it for over a year. It turned out ok but did not like the way it drove so sold it...Many thankless M.Hr. spent no satisfaction. I believe your project will turn out much better for you....
The floor was the only real bad spot. I would say it was due to the windshield leak and constantly wet carpet. I’m trying to keep the safety experts happy. I’m just not trying very hard. 😂
no Harbor Fright jackstands? I think you missed a safety-expert-troll... but still, it was a nice shot. As far as bolt seizing.... C3 Corvette pivot bolt... I know this story well enough to recommend just start with a sawzall. There are good blades but they don't come from HF
Every time I get a idea where you’re going with this you do something different a blow my idea outta the water. I’m enjoying the videos anyway,keep them coming!
Are you saving the underseat support? You said “in the pile” so why work so hard if the floor is coming out anyway? I must have missed the reason. I can’t wait until you start grafting the old and new metal together.
Are you planning on using the backup system? I started watching "B is for Build" because he's also do I believe a 65 Fastback with 2015 frame. He 3D printed some sensor mounts, maybe you can sweet talk him in to sending you some if you were choosing to keep that setup.
That was one that didn't pass quality control at the FROD plant,normally you'd have to be driving it for it to randomly fall off,provided it wasn't spinning outta control over a curb into a crowd of onlookers
@@vehcor down the middle or across the seats? I've towed a few for the P.D. & C.H.P. that were split down the middle but that was just splitting from the gore point
@@vehcor does seem to be their weak point,then again i didn't know about unibody construction or tying the frame together till my windshield cracked up and back one shattered on my first car a 67 ss Camaro which was in hindsight a good thing seeing I wasn't careing in the stopping power as much as the going part..

This takes the term "frame-off restoration" to a whole new level.
If it doesn’t have a frame.... just cut the bottom out! 😂
@@vehcor ... I just like to irritate the literalists in the crowd ;-)
Frame off restomod IMHO.
It needed a frame anyway, since it didn't have one.

"the front fell off..." I see whatcha did there! One of the best comedies ever!
It is a comedy skit but it was also one off the biggest oil spills in Australian waters back in 1991 when the bow fell off the Kirki oil tanker
I bought a few tools from your Amazon links. I knew i forgot something. Those darn steel toe flip flops!
I’ll add them along with my perforated gloves! 😂 Safety first!

I feel like I'm in over my head and I'm just watching you do all the work. I better take a nap to get my strength back. Whew!
Me too, I better let Mr Spotty take over for a bit!
I don't think I've ever seen a guy remove an entire suspension and rear axle without taking the wheel covers off. Extra style points awarded.
I do it all the time. Little stuff like that ends up saving lots of time in the long run. I’ll take the style points though! 😆
Great video.. just got home from work.. this the season..HVACR..and cooling needed..almost 90here today. Thanks for sharing Scott. Steady as she goes.
I actually had the AC on in the shop while working on this. Finally some warm weather! Thanks for the support!
I like the pace of these videos, shows just how much work is really done.
I try to work on it at least once a week and just upload what I got done. Thanks for the support.
Totally agree with you on those bushing with the inner sleeves, they are a universal pain in the ass, especially the ones on BMW's and Hondas.
The benefit to your channel is that everything is clear in case someone wanted to do this themselves.
3:16, Great job!!! That was a lot of work and it was the first time I've ever seen a Mustang taken apart like that.
Ordered my Mr. Spotty tanktop!!!! Can't wait!!!!
again....quite the chuckle .......i know I'm sad I'm a ford guy......but totally love your bashing on all that is Ford.....keep it coming............
Ford deserves it for the struggle all their engineers put us through. 😂
Oh I miss George aka mr. SPOTTY. Maybe he took the day off. Thumbs up and thanks for sharing your build. In the pile of SCRAP metal. I'm confused about the way you disassemble the floor pan, but I think you have a plan. Thanks again!!!
He is always there, he just got out of frame quickly that day. I must have been camera shy. 😂
I like the scraper tool you used. Looks sturdy. Think I'll get one for scraping the BBQ grill.
👍🏻
Great video! Slow and steady it’s transforming.
For the final video of this series you need to quote Hannibal Smith from the A Team...”I love it when a plan comes together” while smoking a cigar!
The final video is a long way off. I feel I identified more with Murdock though. 🤪
A couple scenarios are running through my mind. Can't wait to see which way you go. Exciting stuff!
Thanks for watching. Still more cutting to do, then it will all make sense.
It's not only Fords that have the issue with the seized front spring bolts. I've encountered this exact same issue with 60's Holdens.

If only manufacturers coated everything in grease, mechanics would have a slightly easier job!
Awesome video and great to see the progress on this project.
Thanks Scott :)
Thanks, slow and steady!
I like the drilling sequence. Aging Wheels does some really neat drilling, welding and grinding sequences in his videos. Music to my ears!
I like it too, it just sucks to edit. 😂
Nice touch - finished up with a standard Ford bucket seat - metal folding chair - and the convertible top up. Classic. Enjoyed the video. Can't wait until you marry the two "tangs" together. Will that make it a twanger???
Once it is together I think it will officially be the Frankenstang.
Hell yeah! Most of the episode was done with the air chisel! Definitely needed your “afternoon crew” on this one. All that cross fit!
Whenever the air chisel is involved, the pile gets bigger! 😂
Shirts a better idea than the post its all over the place. great idea!
Nice all videos vehcor good project
Thanks!
I just replaced the shocks on my duramax yesterday and I swear they're the original ones from factory. Only saying that because I have a dually and the rear shocks are the same style.

I have spent a lot of time cleaning up loose Ford on this project! 😂
I'm sure GM& Chrysler weren't any better on there old stuff either. Equal amounts of rust in all cars 50 years old.
Another great build!
I'm from Oak Lawn Illinois and when I put the new Springs on my K5 Blazer it was exactly like that yay
It sure looked like that floor pan was getting to you for a moment. A win is a win. I told my wife you only seem upset for the camera.
Your next move will be interesting. Get a run at it and smash it together Thanks for the show!
I’m just going to lift the body and drop it off the forklift onto the 2015 frame. A little flex tape and it’s ready for the road! 😂

Thanks!
I got excited when i saw what time it was coz i knew your friday vid would be on
Thanks for watching!
Good progress! I just bought an early 67 coupe.
Thanks, good luck with yours!
I love the entire video, but 10:46 is just so representative of why I love this channel.
Because I am OSHA compliant? 😂
@@vehcor You're OSHA aware. You can work on compliant later.
Beat you, used 2 blocks of wood today. One on the floor jack, one on the bottle jack. Both jacks under a Jeep TJ. While I worked under it. But they were only holding up the motor.
****Safety experts want to know your location**** 😂
I can’t drill a hole in plywood without ruining the bit. You drill out 500 spotwelds with two bits. I don’t know how you do it. Nice work!
Loving this build. Great work.
Thanks for the support!
great videos Im from Chicago so i understand the rust issues ....If you ever need help ill be happy to help ...
Thanks for the support.
Nice work, a Mustang restorer would probably take that front section off your hands, it still looks to be in good shape.
I will still need some parts off the front. I’ll try to find a home for the rest.
Hey Fred Flintstone, I love your new car. "yaba daba doo"
That's going to be one badass 65 drop top my friend 🏁✌🏿✊🏽🏴☠️
I hope so.
best Friday!
Thanks
Spot welds pretty strong yea? Few that were left held your weight when jumping on floor.
I feel like you took a roundabout way of removing the center of the car vs. Just running the sawzall down each side of the floor from the get go... But it is progressing well regardless.👍
I’m trying to save all the good parts, just in case my plans need revision.
vehcor Oh I see, that makes sense.👍
I actually like watching you undo stuff even if it’s a Ford
I trust that you towed the front outside the environment.
Out with the birds and fish.... and a fire! 😂
Awesome video! Shes coming along 👍
Great videos! You should have had the afternoon crew lift down that floor pan!
It would have come right out then. I wish I could figure that out myself!
