    In this video we set out to convert a coupe to a fastback in a weekend. This was a father/son project car that I teamed up to help convert to a fastback. What a great experience! I wasn't building their dream car...WE WERE. I'm much more interested in building a dream WITH someone rather than FOR someone. I'd do it again.

    yeah. This kit is like $10k. Which is a damn bargain compared to the cost of an original fastback. And even if you do find one, there is not a chance in hell it will be rust free. Thanks for the video.

      You can find them cheaper especially if you order separate pieces and don’t pull out the B pillar bases. Even more savings buying the quarters not welded up. Theres shops that will install including the kit for $10k

    Everything about this video was great. From the story of how the car came into their lives to the father/ son project to showing a couple guys who haven't done this the ropes. It seems like everyone has fun and that's how it should be. Very cool

  • @chrislangdell117
    @chrislangdell117 8 месяцев назад +5

    Very awesome. 3 days? That's crazy. One thing that would help us potential future videos is to make a couple of videos using the footage you guys shot for this video. About how, what and where you had to trouble shoot.. what it took to solve the problem. And recommendations as to what pieces are foundation pieces. What needs to be done in which order. If there may be a few thousand potential builders or even day dreamers, I believe those types of videos would serve them very well and make this chanel extremely valuable to everyone who trys to do a conversion. It wouldn't be uncommon for one person to play that video 10 times before he completes his first build. Certainly a great way to boost your viewing and keep your channel feeding youtube algorithms and improve the popularity of the chanel.

    Is there a list of all the parts it would take to take a 68 coupe to a 68 fastback? I have my old couple in the barn from 25 years ago. It was fast but I always wished it was a fastback. Since the kids are about gone it would be awesome to do it. I have the heated shop even to do it this winter. Guess I should have watched it better. Lol.

    One more question. Do you have any advice or a trick to closing the gap on the rear deck filler panel? I think that’s what it is called. It’s the panel just above the trunk hinges.

    • @FollowTheBuilds
      @FollowTheBuilds  Год назад +2

      Yes. I use a jack and a 2x4 to to push up the rear seat bracket to engage the filler panel just above the deck lid. That closes the gap and i tek screw it to its new home.

    I have a question. I’m doing a conversation as we speak. So my question is. once you get it All together with screws and everything lined up. You take it back apart and put the holes in it. So do you put it back together completely and then start welding? Or do you put one panel on and weld then another. This may be a stupid question but I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve turned some wrenches but never any type of body work or panel fitting. I’m just about at that point of welding now(with the exception of a couple things). My next question would be do you use a ratchet strap to pull the quarters in for the deck brace(just above the trunk)? That looks very intimidating. You do great work and I really thank you for the videos. I’ve always wanted a fastback but this is the only way I’ll get one. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more videos.thank you for any advice.

    • @FollowTheBuilds
      @FollowTheBuilds  Год назад +3

      This is great you are tackling this. Excited for ya.
      So I initial tek screw it together and get the rear window squared to 54.25”. After that I mark everything…dots where I want to put holes and circles where I know I need to keep the tek screw to reassemble.
      Main reason to disassemble is to punch holes…you could do this before initial fit check but I like to be sure I’m drilling holes in the right location.
      I try to keep the inner structure intact and drill the pilot holes carefully for the spot welds.
      Key take away is take your time. Consider the big variables…your door gaps and height…the rear window dimensions…and the dreaded rear deck lid alignment. It can get frustrating aligning moving panels…just walk away and come back to it another day. UNLESS YOUR UNDER A TIME CRUNCH like we were…3 days. Thanks for the question my friend!
