- Doing a cowl repair on the 67 mustang from start to finish took a bit of time, but im glad its now done, I wouldnt say its my favorite repair, but someone has to do it and i dont think i would trust anyone else to do this repair because i know nobody else would really care as much.

The most impressive part is that even tho his son is soooo young, he’s learning!! He has his hammer and paying attention to dad!! Never to young to learn!! ✊🏾✊🏾
Maaaaaan if you have ever done this repair job on a Mustang, you know this man's pain and his dedication to making it RIGHT. I myself have done it and it is a thankless job. I appreciate the time you spent making this for the next person who has the guts to do this and finds him/her self scared to death to do it. Always like the videos and am looking forward to the insanity that you will create with this one.
Oh I just read some of the other comments about "how this build is going nowhere"...dude, go do it yourself and see exactly how long it takes YOU to do this CORRECTLY. I would have almost killed for this level of a detailed video when I was doing mine. Forget the Nay-sayers Nick, you keep doing what you are doing. Much love from Louisiana
Brandon Loveday , you’re right Brandon. I’ve never seen one restorer on Tv do this job. This is the extra mile.
thanks brother really appreciate it. yeah its hard to know how much work this is without doing this. this is my second time doing it, just way to much work, shops charge around $2,000+ for this repair and they dont do any of these extra steps with prep work, rust sections, rust encapsulators, welding primers etc...
@@FixItNick -great video Nick!
I have a question though, I noticed that in the vent area some of the grates in the vents were bent, wouldn't it have been a better time to straighten them out with the panel off the car?
Or do you have something else in mind?
@Robert Phipps - I was lucky, when we repaired the cowl on my 67, that they weren't bent at all.
@@FixItNick How's your tinnitus?
If only all body men were this skilled...I have NEVER seen anybody do a better job than this true craftsman
Check out Artur Tussik .
Check out 51 Machines and their actual restoration of the Nissan Fair Lady, using almost ne replacement parts, all done by hand
Check out Jo Daddys Garage, does awesome quality work as well.
The man has skills I wish he was my neighbor. Dod anyone notice that he wore sandal the whole time..hahahaja
Sandals are comfortable until....a hot welding spark gets you! This from my welding experiences as a professional.
Wow! That you put so much work into part of the car no one will ever see is truly impressive! You have me hooked and I can’t wait for the entire start to finish videos to enjoy the same amazing dedication to detail on the whole car! Great work!👍👍👍
Thank you really appreciate it. At the moment I’m working on my friends 67 Eleanor Rescue Project If you seen that one? What A mess!! Some people do shady stuff grrr
80% of restoration jobs do not get as detailed as what this man has done..... He is a master craftsmen
because people don't pay much for you to spend all this time on 1 car with also sacrificing your family time and your other obligations you cant do this details if you have another 5 cars waiting
Great recap Video! If you build IT they will come. im in it for the long haul, Let's Go!!🖒😉💪
This is inspiring! Going the extra mile is the only way to go. You can sleep knowing you did everything right.
Hey just loved seeing the little guy sitting in his own little chair chatting up a storm with Daddy and probably asking a million questions. Love it!
Haha I’ll include him on more projects when I have safer things for him to help with
@@FixItNick I saw him in another one too. I used to have my little ones who are now 28 and 31 years old help me on all kinds of projects but they have zero interest in that kind of thing. I was hoping it would stimulate their interest. There is a Bren Gun carrier that I am interested in and my son said he would help with that project lol.
@@FixItNick ja right
@@FixItNick i came along to your video and i enjoyed it. I just look at a 68 mustang coupe and im debating on if i should buy it in the next month or so. It doesn't have a motor or trans plus i would have to find a shop to do the body work and restore the car inside and out so i haven't made up my mind yet
DER MANN MACHT ES RICHTIG UND NICHT SO WIE VIELE DIESER PFUSCHER BEI RUclips. SUPER GEMACHT RESPEKT
Masterful work. Really enjoyed viewing this video. Cheers!
ВОТ это настоящий труд... Человек трудиться с душой и любовью...У этого мастера всё получиться на отлично... Молодец!!!
Mad Respect for this guy who put In the time and effort
watch the channel byll metal work, a Brazilian channel that does artisanal restoration, the guy is an artist with iron plates

I have the same problem non my 63 comet wagon , do you ever do this repair for others? I have lots of cash 💸
Only gripe - no breathing protection. Protect your lungs.
Total awesome. Hands down the nicest cowl repair I've seen.
Another expert welding in flip flops eeek 😱
It’s joy and relaxing lol
The biggest weakness of the 60s Fords. My 67 Fairlane has the same problem as well as my 64 1\2 Mustang
I have the same issue with my 68 Torino fastback. I'd love to be able to find an easy fix to keep my floorboards dry in rain!
Dude, wait until you drop something on you toes. Flip flops in a work area. Get proper shoes. Very nice work though.
Lol thanks,
YOU MUST TIRED AFTER WORKING 60 HRS. A WEEK AND THEN ANOTHER 30 TO DO THIS PROJECT AND ANOTHER 6 TO 8 HRS. TO EDIT AND UPLOAD A VIDEO SO THAT WE CAN ENJOY IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
Thanks brother, honestly, after this one I’ll try doing easier projects, it’s getting to much lol
Didn't see anything wrong with it....
I’ve been dreading this repair on my 73 for years. It’s reassuring to see you doing such a great job. Thanks. Don’t suppose you did your frame rails too?
Don't feel bad I have a 63 comet wagon with the same issues. If this guy was local I'd definitely pay him his price to do mine and I do body work but don't like doing it that much!!!!!!!
Tanks to you i fix mi mustang like thath buddy 👍👍🏿‼️
It's so good to see great work and details . I wish I was young again so I could do that type of work.
Replacing the cowl panel is absolutely the worst part of restoring an old mustang. My 1965 coupe was restored by a previous owner but the cowl is starting to leak into the interior. My solution is simply to put a plexiglass cowl cover on it for $29.99. No does not look great but a hell of a lot cheaper alternative. In fairness to Ford, they had no idea back in 1965 that in 2020 thousands of "old baby boomers" would be restoring these old mustangs so they built the cowl panels back then for about a 20-year life plan. So I have nice looking old 1965 mustang coupe but with a cowl panel that now leaks. I can live with this as the rest of my coupe looks just like the 1965 red mustang I bought after Vietnam. And the cowl cover prevents any leaking of rain or water into the floor of the interior. I know "purist" restorers will object to the cowl cover but so what?
Yea it’s one of those things that so many look past and not do it and pass it on to the next person to deal with. It’s my second one doing it and I think second time took me longer because there is ways to always make it better
@@FixItNick Great work! About how many hours did this job take?
Great show of workmanship, love your attention to detail . Just subscribed !!
I have that same exact anvil!!
I have those flipflops!
I would do it the same way. Nobody would care about the repair like you would, and I always say, If you want it done right do it yourself!!! Words to live by and that's why I did it that way for years until I had a stroke and I sold my '68 Mustang GT.
By the way, you do excellent work!!!
The amount of work taken to make this repair is staggering. My hat is off to this man for dedication and quality of work. WOW
Thank you really appreciate it
The funny thing is that guys who want this work done balk at what is a VERY FAIR estimate for proper repairs. $30k to get an "average" 50+ year old car into good, clean sheetmetal is not unreasonable, when you consider what it takes to do the job right.
I really like this project, I'm following two other projects of Eleanor with this one and if I understood correctly this is the only which keeps the real engine of the old Mustang. 🙂
Thank you bro, Yes correct, I want to do it correct way,
Just don’t call it Eleanor, he might get sue
PERFECT!! If you want it done right you gotta do it yourself !
Hacia tiempo no veía un buen video: buen trabajo y música adecuada... Me gustan los autos y esté trabajo lo considero ARTE'... FELICITACIONES. ABRAZO GRANDE DESDE NEUQUÉN ARGENTINA 😎👍
Awesome job dude. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see all the progress. You need to keep this one
Thx bro 👍
Love it, thank you. Great that you show what you are doing rather than talk about it like so many others.
Thank you appreciate it
Gotta say, for me, after searching the bowels of the internet, this is the most helpful video on this I have seen when it comes to getting an idea of the whole process. That will be me soon.
Your skills are amazing, but your dedication is outstanding!
Congratulations my friend!
Best regards from 🇧🇷
Вы представляете сколько здесь труда, сколько души в это вложено???
That was awesome . A beautiful display of workmanship. I wish I had that much patience that I could do that kind of work. Awesome job. 😀👍
🙋🏼♂️Muito Bom irmão parabéns Amigo pelo trabalho 👍🏻🇧🇷
I have a 73 Pinto that I'm working on. The cowl (inside) is about 50 percent gone by rust. I had made the decision to abandon the project, but you have inspired me to continue on. I'm going to have to fabricate most of it as I haven't been able to find replacement parts. Thanks for the video. I've sub'd.
да ну нах.. , столько гемороя , я бы лучше купил бу машину на ходу и не парился
just finished mine a few weeks back
it is a JOB !!!
but it’s worth the effort !!!
Ya worst job on the whole car lol
@@FixItNick But the most satisfying the first time you get caught in the rain at a car show and your carpet stays dry!!!
Great job..first time I saw somebody did this In hide part of a car..I always asked myself in what condition was those hide part..so well done ...and thank you..
Thanks and you are welcome

Spend more time with your son dude.
Yup he helps me build
I'd rather repair every fender on a car as opposed to one cowl. They're a lot of work. Excellent job man. Older ford assemblyman told me to tack every other hole on bottom side to leave fresh metal for top half to bite all the way thru. But your way seems a lot better, just tacking every one of them.
The only thing I don't get is why he is striping and repainting the lower cowl. It is already painted and is going to last 50 more years. Especially if it is not a daily driver. Seems like overkill. Otherwise it may be the best video I have ever seen.
Excellent videos. So cool to see you doing it with tools anybody could have in their garage.
ابداع واحترافية في العمل
moor than great work !!
pro work
really well done
My old Ford Falcon wagon has the same exact problem. I tried to fix it several times but is so so hard that I just gave up! And so whenever it rains water enters everywhere. Think Ford engineers where not at all enlighten... Anyway congratulations, it`s a great job you` ve done, just perfect!!
What an excellent video and what beautiful music what song is it or what is it called
Nice work! However, I feel sorry for your kid. It’s obvious that your hobby is more important than he is. The hours you invest into your hobby you can never get back with your son. Have a listen to the lyrics of “cats in the cradle” Harry Chapin. Suggestion: you can resume your hobby once he’s in college.
Arabanın eski çürümüş parçasıni ćıkartıp yerine aynı parçanın yenisini takıyor bir nevi sıfır araba yapıyor yaz boz gibi
My professor showed us this in class. Awesome job bud!
Its thing of beauty what you are doing here, somthing I could never do neither the skill nor the patience....this is why I love my Jeep CJ I just bolt parts on, weld what breaks and then go back out and bash it against trees and rocks and it still turns heads in parking lots.
Good job man ! I love you reused the old steel that could be used again. The steel today, is not how is was......
Me gustaría tener el 10% de tu paciencia y el niño viéndote trabajar con su martillito en mano esperando golpiar, muchas felicidades amigo👍👍👍
Awesome video !
Errgh! You have the patience of job. I can feel every tedious hour/day/week. Congratulations. On a meticulous repair.
Sad days indeed when merely doing a job correctly is considered AMAZING! Doing a job right should be the standard not the exception.
Why the yellow tinted lenses in the (safety ?) glasses? Better contrast to view details? What is the sealant used to seal the cowl? You're truly a Master Craftsman and better yet, you are demonstrating/teaching valuable skills beyond the metalwork to your son!
Beautifully done! I did this (with help from a mechanic friend) 25 years ago. These Mustang cowls all leak eventually. It was the hardest body work I ever did... took us like 8 weekends.
Absolutely beautiful job! Your attention to detail is second to none.
Thanks bro
... well thanks, now i know why i sometimes have some water under my break/gas- pedal. Did they forget to use some corrosion protection on those 2 air ventilation intakes?
Amazing amount of effort well done. I bet mine is the same. 👍🍻
Thank you
Neat, this is what I would have needed to do to my 1968 Cougar (back in 1982 when I owned it). The up right stacks inside the cowl were rusted away, and when it rained the water would pour right onto the floor! Me being 16yrs old I had no clue how to fix it , but my dad eventually fiber glassed it from under the dash and it "fixed" the problem
wow man thats passion and effort good stuff
In 1968 I paid a body shop to replace "all the rust" on a 1956 Ford Country Sedan wagon the family had owned since '57. When I got the car back, I found tape was put down over the rust and body filler over that. Since then, I've done all of the metal repairs on my '56 and '57 Ford cars and trucks. Like your statement " I don't think I would trust anyone else to do this repair because I know nobody else would really care as much" is the key. Since '68, I've learned to 'do it all'. Now at 70, I'm a bit slower but still do my best to duplicate what the factory has done. (Oh, and your son there... That's BEAUTIFUL!)
I hate all shops, most shops haha, can’t trust them
Exelente, gracias. Tengo un Mustang 1971 y tiene exactamente el mismo problema. Me has dado la idea de como repararlo 😊
Work with sandals isn't good. I been a body man for more then 52. Years never work with shorts & sandals you did a great job congrts
Well done this is what you called a professional body work only a truly body man know how to do this I am one of those great video . Excellent work
Good work Nick...I think u went way overboard on the spot welds. Only ned half that may...
this is what being meticulous means, it shows he has serious pride in what he does, ty for the video Bro !
Thank you really appreciate it
That was like watching elegant sex then having a beautiful angel birthed at the end. Amazing Sir.... Amazing 👏
Do you know what the original VIN of the car was? I am trying to find my old Mustang that I sold a few years ago.
Good installment video nick coming along great
Spot welding? Never heard. Is there a sealant between the elements? Not from above, but between! Why is it needed! Nonsense!
Please add your show to Rumble platform and I’ll continue watching.
Wonderfull 😉🙏🙏
Stunning work
You’re very talented
Beautiful work excellent masterful work. TXS FOR THE VIDEOS
Thank you
Next time put some tape on the louvres before you start welding and grinding😉👍
Yea true, I’ll have to turn her sideways to wash it out
😉
I did exactly the same cowl repair on my '69 Torino, but unlike you Mustang guys, I can't buy a new panel. So jealous... PS, don't weld in slippers man!!!
watch the channel byll metal work, a Brazilian channel that does artisanal restoration, the guy is an artist with iron plates
Only if you lòve working with your hands can you be so creative❤
i just gotta say......awesome work! but it was really frustrating to watch him work on the new cowl piece ON A CHAIR! my god! find something stable!
Thanks bro, lol gotta do what I can lol
Подскажите пожалуйста, а в этой конструкции есть дренаж? Как обслужить, очистить от листьев и грязи эту полость?
199 haters that work for Maaco. LOL. Killer diligence on that repair. A lot of so-called 'technicians' take a "No one will ever see it" approach and cut a lot of corners, especially in 'body shops'. Gotta keep that turnaround rate up....lol Great work brother
Haha people hate everything these days
i have a 66' convertible and the cowl is fine. (fords great ideas ehh??!!) i seen a high school project done and it was a beautiful car - cept - don't take it out in the rain!! they didn't repair the cowl which was of course, rusted out enough to get the floor wet. but lots of work, maybe you could have bought a new primed body that's made in California for about the same $$$?
Some shops are shady
Ahh the typical Ford and that damned front cowl. It a pain but it has to be done. Good job
Fastbacks are the best cars I used to own one back on the 80s. Brother I admire your work..
Question ❓ what is the cost to acid dip the frame. I'm thinking about doing one car but I'm in California I'm assuming Oregon is cheaper on cost
67-68 FBs look the best I think, not sure how much it costs to acid dip, I think $2500-$3000
Good morning, I really like the scotch brite wheel you used on your die grinder. What brand and model is it and where is it available? Excellent results on that cowl panel. It didn't look that good from Ford. Take care and good luck to you on this project.
The bits you don't see afterwards, but know they are done properly...
Arbeiten, die Ausdauer und Gründlichkeit erfordern. Cool.👍
Wow
The one question I have all ways pondered is why the designers of cars would draw air and rain water and pine needles into a structural area and a difficult area to repair. The cowels. The on every car should ha e been smooth since time and memorial. The early Camino always rotted at the front of the bed under the floor.why would any water ever have been designed to go there..Good repair job your doing there.
Yea they didn’t know these will last and be wanted, thanks
When you finish body work and paint on a car exterior, people see it and can admire it. However, the work on the cowl, while mandatory, is hidden from the eye for the most part. You get the satisfaction of knowing what is under the cowl and knowing you did it right. A private little victory if you think about it.
Its a real bugger the vented top panel is welded into place and not removable. Makes it really hard to get any leaf litter out or get access. But then I suppose nobody at Ford ever expected these cars to last for 50+ years . Nice work buddy.
Yea true; gotta use a blower once in a while lol
