1970 Mustang Mach 1 Ultimate Restomod! 

I really appreciate the comment!! Always makes me happy when people like the way it looks!!

Thank you for watching James!

Thank you!! I appreciate the compliment!! I grew up learning the old saying..."if you gonna do something, do it right!" Thanks for watching!!

I think so too!!! Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks man and Thanks for watching!!!

Thx DJ Lyfe, glad you enjoyed the video.

Same for me, but my Dad was a hobbyist for the most part. The memories were awesome for us as kids, but maybe not so much for them! Probably got tired of question after question 😁LOL!!! Thanks for watching!!

@@mustangmike5324 lol true. I was the tool fetcher and light holder as a child lol. I learned a lot. But not to you guys' level. An engineering artist. I know you understand why I say this. 😁👍

@@djlyfe557 I appreciate that... really do! Thanks!!

@@mustangmike5324 👊

We appreciate the compliment thank you!

Thank you for your kind words!!! Hope you're enjoying the channel!!

@@grayhairgarage2710 to u7

Thank you!! 914...probably one of my other favorite Porches. Always liked the shape. V6 or 4? We have a friend that's building one. Hope you have fun with the build! Build it to enjoy!! Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you for the compliment!! Happy you liked the car🤙

Thx for watching 👍🏻

I hear ya...that's why I bought those rims. The bronze looks good too! Oh girl has shoes for every occasion 😁 Thanks for watching!!

Thank you!! Happy you enjoyed the car and Thanks for watching!!

Thank you! Never like the rebody version of these cars. Plain ugly IMHO. I tried to make this car look right, but you could make it look stock. Thanks for checking out the channel!!

@@mustangmike5324 I don't care for the old body on late model chassis trend personally. But your integration of old & new is next level and absolutely fantastic. Your car is in a class by itself . I definitely dig it and have to say your car is easily the finest example of mixing classic cool & modern performance I have ever seen, and I have seen a whole bunch. Super Cool Sir, Super Cool Indeed !

@@GorillaCookies Thank you for your comment!! It makes me Happy when people notice the work that I put in to make that car the way it is. Most don't even notice, but people like you makes it worth the effort! Thanks again!!

Thanks for your comment. It is pretty cool to watch people's faces when they really start looking!! Thanks for watching!!

Thank you for the compliment!! I tried my best to make this car a perfect blend of two different years. Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you!! Thanks for checking out the channel!!

Thank you!! Was a pita, but worth it!!

Thanks for watching Scooby Doo! ruh roh stay tuned for more ;)

Sorry about that...somehow I missed your comment. Thanks! Not too bad for a hobbyist...I'm proud of my creation and Happy it's over! Thanks for checking the car out and the channel too!!!

Thank you for the comment!! I still love the car and don't think I would do it any different. Thanks for watching!!

Thank you! I think that it was a pretty good merging...even has a few other parts from different years. True meaning of Frankenstein!! Thanks for checking the channel out!!

Thank you!! I tried to make it look proportionately correct. I don't like rebooted cars. Just don't look right. Thanks for the comment and watching!!

@@mustangmike5324 You got nailed it, proportions are right on. As you say rebooted cars don't look right. Too bad I live too far away, would love to see it in the flesh

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Sorry...I'm just seeing your comment. Thank you!! I feel the same way you do! I want the old look, but without the rebodied look. This turned out better than I could have asked for, plus you can make changes if you want without to much work. Change the side skirts and front valance to look stock or do something else...Thanks for checking out the channel!!!

Thanks!! Don't want to do it again!!😁

@@mustangmike5324 LOL

Thx for watching, we appreciate the compliment 😎

Thank you!! I appreciate that and Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you for the comment!! It has been a dream of mine to own a 70, but to have a mix of new and old...priceless!! This car has been awesome to own! We have one more video coming soon. There were a few things to finish up, like the tune. Thanks for watching!!

Thank you! I've seen some things on that company at SEMA a few years back. Pretty cool! Thanks for watching!!

you just said a whole lot of generic shit

It is great the support for the Mustangs!! I like all the years, but I always have a soft spot for Fairlane GTA's. That would have been a really nice ride, but it would have cost way more just trying to do custom emblems and such. If I had the drive, I would try to do one. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Glad you enjoyed seeing it :)

Thanks for the comment. It has exceeded all my expectations. Makes my day when people enjoy the car!!! Was really cool to be in the featured area of C&O and interviewed by Bryan Fuller. Great day!!!

Thank you and Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for your comment!! I wish I could help. I don't have any experience with the kits that are out there to install the coyote. I've seen several way of doing the swap. Not sure how the 6 speed will fit without modifying the trans tunnel. One thing is for sure...you will have to remove the shock towers. Good luck! Sorry I wasn't of any help...

@mustangmike5324 Hey thank you for replying. Yeah I know that you have to at least cut and widen the shock tower sheet metal but wasn't sure if you have to completely relocate the whole setup... Well thanks again and I hope that you have a great time with your car.

@@TheMotorgoat1 sorry, just saw this. I have to go through the comments as I don't receive notifications. Pretty sure you'll have to change the whole setup. The engine is wider than a FE engine.

Thank you for your comment. Like you, I've seen many type of cars like mine, but they always looked a little off. That's why I did mine the way I did. The hardest way?? Not sure, but it looks right and it runs and drives fantastic!! Thanks for checking out the channel!!

Thanks for watching Senor Pablo!

Thank you! It is a pretty cool car!! I'm just lucky to have a great teacher that is my father!! Thanks for checking out the channel!!!

Coyote is a great engine. So many options on making power if that's your thing. If you go with the mirrors, it takes time, but I think it's worth the effort. You will hate the process though.😁 Thanks for checking out the channel!!!

@@mustangmike5324 I was thinking about the same thing the second I saw your mirrors. I hate the visibility I get on my 1970 mustang side mirrors!

Thanks for watching suckamc3242😎

Thank you!! This car tried my patience and I questioned my sanity!! Thanks for checking out the channel!!

Thx for watching :)

Thank you for the compliment. It was definitely a grind the last year of the build. Everything I touched needed some kind of mod. Happy it's over!! Thanks for watching!!!

Wow!!! Thanks for the compliment!! It was heck of a build. Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you!! You can drive it everyday for the right price!!🤑 Thanks for watching!!

@@mustangmike5324 we are all brothers in humanity, what belongs to me belongs to my brothers...😈 (ill be there tomorrow at dawn) 🤭

Thanks Jo Daddy!! Was a crazy long build! Check out you channel the other day. Was recommended by one of our viewers! Pretty cool!! We'll see what we can do...

Thanks for watching Todd Duncan😎

Thank you!! Just lucky to have a great teacher!!

Thanks for the comment and for watching!!

@@mustangmike5324 no problem my friend

Thank you!! Pretty proud of my creation!!! Car is pretty awesome to drive too! Thanks for checking out the channel!!

Thx for watching and nice compliment 😎

Thanks for the compliment!! Hope you enjoyed the video and Thanks for watching!!

Thank you!! Took me a long time to get the skills to do something like this. I finished this car when I was 50. Did a few cars to get better at restoration. You can do anything if it's what you want. Patience is the key...it will come!! Thanks for watching!!

Thank you for the comment!! We have a little good news we are going to cover shortly! Thanks for watching !!

Amen 😎

I tease putting a ls in most things. It is an easy swap for most cars, but I had to make this car a pure Ford. The coyote is still a tight fit even with the custom engine bay. Thanks for watching!!

I am in the process of restomoding my 70 Mustang Fastback that I bought 23yrs ago after HS. A couple of my buddies think I should LS it, but I just can't. Not with this car. I have to keep it Ford powered and would love to go with a Coyote. I know that it is going to be tight fit though.

Thx for watching Telly Renfroe

Thank you!! Happy you liked my vision...🤟

Thank you! Happy I get to enjoy the car now!

Thank you and thanks for watching!!

Thanks for the comment. I would have to say we both are just average guys with average jobs. Everything just takes time. You work, you save and get what you want. The biggest advantage I have over most is...it's just me doing my thing. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks NASCARBOB57 for watching!

Happy you like the build...definitely my favorite!! Thanks for your comment and watching!!

Same for me. Just stunning!

Thanks guys. I really appreciate that you liked the car

Thank you and Thanks for checking out the channel!!

Thx Hector for watching 👍🏻

Thank you!!! Won't build another one!!!😁

Thx David for the comment and watching. We love your excitement for the Mustangs 😎

Thank you! I like the 71-73. Heck, I like them all, but the 70 has always had a place in my heart from childhood. Contact us on Facebook. Would like to see your ride! Thanks for watching!

@@mustangmike5324 I'm on Instagram FastbackDan73. Won't do FB after what happened.

Gotcha👍

Just so you know...Instagram is Facebook. Just saying👍

@@mustangmike5324 100% agree. At least IG doesn't have a bunch of Biden BS on it lol.

I remember when I was a kid.. my dad had bought a 70 with a Cleveland 4 speed. Car sounded nasty! Never lost that feeling of that car. Hence, building this one... but this one has that old feelings, plus some new ones! Thanks for watching!!

That makes two of us!! Thanks for watching!!

Thank you very much h!! Thanks for the comment and watching!!

Thank you, we appreciate you watching.

Thank you!! It was a love and hate project!!! Thanks for watching!

Thank you and Thanks for checking out the channel!!

Thank you for your comment and Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks 👍

Awesome name!! Thanks for your comment and Thanks for watching!!

Thx for watching Ryan!

Thanks!! It was one crazy build for me!🤪

Kona blue, thanks for watching!

Thx for watching allen welsh😎

Thank you !! Is has been a fun ride to build and own. Hit this jackpot at 670 million and hit me up!!🤑

Thank you!! It is pretty awesome!! I can't believe how well it turned out and still amazes me each time I drive the car!! Thanks for the comment and for watching!!

Quentin, you might be surprised at how you can manage a build like this. If you do your own labor it cuts the cost immensely. Thanks for watching Quentin!

Anyone can if you want it bad enough. The cost is not the real problem. It's the drve to complete it. Took all I had and then some. If you have a family...forget it! Getting done in a time frame before you lose interest...that's priceless!!😁 Thanks for watching!

It can always go back to looking stock if I wanted. Always had that thought when I built it. Thanks for the comment and watching!

@@mustangmike5324 It is nice to see something different though and not the same thing each time. That is very cool that you still have the option of going back to looking stock. Also some good work you did!

Thanks for watching Luiz!

Thank you sir!!! I think it looks pretty darn good!! Thanks for watching!!

I own a s281 saleen in a true blue color. Similar to this color and it makes the mustang look beautiful. I prefer my mustang over any super car! This 1970 is a grail man! Honestly I’m not just saying that! I would dream about this car forever man! It’s my new dream car a 1970 Mach 1 with a coyote! You must be one happy guy driving that thing! You deserve it!

Wow!! Thanks for your kind words! The 70 has always been my favorite Mustang. It turned out better than I expected!! Happy that you like it🤙

Thx for watching Ryan.

Yep...been there. The only thing here is you are going to have to feed the window motor with it's own power source. The circuit board is the problem. I tried, but decided to just keep it simple. Use the power wire because it's fused, but install some aftermarket switches that change the polarity. I ended up using the wires for the sub to make the connections. Not sure of your set up? Hope this helps....

Oh...the reason I used an aftermarket radio was because of switch placement for the power windows. There really wasn't a good place for the switches...

Thank you and awesome that you are doing a father/son project!! Not sure how I can help if you are 70% complete. Please don't get offended...I will try to help to a point, but it's hard when I'm not there to help in person. Shoot a few questions and we'll see how it goes??

@@mustangmike5324 Suggestions on how to interface the 2015 door skins and the door interiors (electronics)? Is it ok to use high quality radiator hose for the gas tank filler tube? We positioned the gas tank under the seats just like in the 2015 donor car. We put in an aftermarket de-gas tank. How high does it have to be to function properly? Pretty tight under the hood. We graded in a mustang 2 front suspension and made adaptations in the frame rails for the radiator, condenser and catalytic converters. Suggestions on interfacing the 2015 wiring harness with the stock headlights and taillights? Were you able to interface the 2015 headliner or did you go with the stock headliner? We’re going with the Corsa cold air intake hoping the 90 degree left turn toward the drivers front corner of the engine bay will fit. Little tight between the intake and the radiator. I believe you said you grafted in the K member from the 2014. Hope we’re not overwhelming you. Appreciate any ideas. Would love see your car in person some day! Thanks for your thoughts.

@@warrenbutler4553 @Warren Butler I'll answer the best I can in the order of your questions... I used dynacorn doors and cut the holes for the 14 harness to pass through. I ended up using an aftermarket power window regulator kit and power door lock kit to keep those functions. The 14 stuff could have worked, but it was way too much work to integrate those mechanisms. The only thing I did use was the power side mirror control. I used the side mirrors from a 15 and up which meant I had to change the plugs around to match. In which, you'll need access to wiring diagrams...if needed. I used a factory 70 gas tank which came with a hose. I assume that radiator hose will work. Also, I deleted the emissions from the computer which allowed me to get rid of some of the plumbing for that system. The de gas tank should be just above the engine and radiator to work properly. Mine is tight too, dont sweat this too much unless you have a cooling issue. To hook up the headlights and taillights was not too hard. I used Dakota digital led kit for the taillights and I used some capacitors from a jeep to trick the canbus in the computer for the headlights. These capacitors are needed or you'll get a message. Look up jeeps and headlight canbus fixes on google. Those guys have had the same problem I did and amazon sells the fix. Don't remember what message said?? Definitely run LED headlights and taillights. Doesn't put a load on the wiring harness like halogens. I used a one piece fiberglass headliner which actually worked out great. It allowed me to use the dome light. Eventually I'll add the homelink. I will say one thing here. If you go with the one piece...add the foam backed headliner material. The material they used is directly glued to the fiberglass and the interior sounds like a fishbowl 😁 I bought a cheap cold air kit from ebay. It was aluminum and was easily modified to fit better. Mine too is tight. I did use the k-member. I used the electric power rack and all. Wanted to keep all the important systems (to me) in tack. I only used the aftermarket when it was needed. Hope this helps a little...

@@mustangmike5324 Mike. Thanks so much for sharing that information. That gives us good direction forward. That was very helpful!

@@warrenbutler4553 You're welcome! Happy to help!!

Everything is for sale.

Yep...everything is for sale! It could be yours...Thanks for watching!!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for the compliment!! Happy you liked the car! Thanks for checking out the channel!!

That's the best compliment!! IMHO it's one of the nicest blends of 2 cars that I have ever seen!! Thanks for the comment and watching!!

You still fill car with gas like stock. The gas cap is from 71-73.

Thank you and thank for watching!!

Thanks for watching dungonekrazy :)

Thanks for watching Marco Carroll!

If you watched the video, then you will somewhat know. Used the floorplan and firewall from the 14. This allowed me to treat the middle of the car like a 14, but focus on the outside like a 70. 460's are a great engine, but it's big! Not sure you like that set up. Would be better to do a stroker 351 windsor. More power without the size. Whatever you choose...hope it turns out like you want!! Thanks for watching!!

Ok cool .. well shit im gunna use this motor from my 1973 ford f250 im gunna swap a first gen cummins into my 73’ f250 and im not gunna have anything to do with the 460 .. so i was thinkin ima just put the 460 in the stang . But i still have the 302 but 460 will give me more horsepower and that i got it might as well swap it in..

@@sunjayujagar4310 before you get too far along on the swap. Make sure the engine will fit between the shock towers. I'm thinking, could be wrong, that the towers will need to be modified to fit that engine. Either way...cool projects!🤙

The lower part is from Cervini's. 10-12 model Mustang. The rest was done in metal. Thanks for checking out the channel!!

Thanks for watching Bowman's Outdoors :)

Thanks for watching DJRAMONva😎

Thank you and thanks for checking out the channel!!

Thank you for your kind words!!! It was a labor intensive job!! The 14 taillights could have worked??? I just didn't think the juice was worth the squeeze. I just ended up using LEDs for the taillights. I sold the 14 tailights for a profit to buy more beers 😁 The recaros don't have the heated seat function, plus the donor didn't have them...that's why that is the way it is. Bought Katskin leathers and carried on. Thanks for watching!!!

I had figured you kept the stock seats for heating purposes. Not sure if down on the road you want something a bit more aggressive looking? I had thought of these tmi covers which use the stock frames motors etc. Just re skinned for a more aggressive style. www.cjponyparts.com/tmi-upholstery-with-seat-foam-sport-r-series-seat-vinyl-hi-back-black-2013-2014/p/U143B-V/ I'd love to meet up some time and check out ole frankenstang. 😁

That looks pretty good...maybe one day. Right now, I'm just enjoying the car!!!

As it should be man! 👌 What do you think about the latest 2021 mach 1?🤔

Not too crazy about it. Much rather see a shaker...might as well buy a gt350😁

Appreciate your kind comments. The swap is a pain to bring structure to the door for support of the mirror. Kind of hard to explain how I did this...I made a pocket/recess/bucket that mounts to the mirror. Once you got that made, you'll have to find the position to cut out the door so it'll fit. The hard part was tying the pocket to the structure of the door. I used a 1/4 piece of rod and bent it to shape. It tied to the door bracing and to the pocket/recess/bucket. You have to get the angle and placing just right. This may take several tries. One thing to keep in mind. You can always use spacers to bring the mirror out of the pocket...if you place it a little too deep. Pretty sure I'm failing on explaining the process to you. It's worth it in the end, but took about 2ohrs to complete both doors. Hope this helps...

Not sure how much time, but it has been done on RU-vid different ways. Not sure how long it takes because of the way I did mine. I'm sure the shock towers are in the way which will require some modification. Search around...it's out there. Thanks for the comment and for watching!!

Me too!! Thanks for watching!🤙

Thanks!! 70 was always one of my dream cars!! Thanks for watching!!

70 was the year I was born, my mother had 68 mustang with a 6 cycle no 289 302 weird eh

Thx for the comment, I was just in England this past month and really enjoyed seeing Mustangs there now. The music is from the RU-vid music library. The intro music is from our good friend Rino and it's called Pedal to the metal. I'm glad you are enjoying our content. Please subscribe, we will be having more content coming soon.

Thank you!! Sorry, I don't have anything for the install of the mirrors. Wasn't planning on doing a RU-vid channel. Wish I had now! Thanks for watching!!

It really wasn't too bad to do. Had to make a pocket that recessed into the door. That shape was made around the mirror mount first and then fitted to the door. Once you have all the clearance around the inner structure for the pocket. You have to reattach the inner structure to the pocket. I ended up using 1/4" rod for that. Just made the job easier. It's a tight fit, but it's solid. Hope this makes sense?

Thanks for your comment. Check in the comment section where Yusuf asked the same question. I answered the question without revealing my cost. It'll get you in the neighborhood. Things have changed over the years... Thanks for watching!!

Oh, if you were to try a S550 chassis...you will have to wide body. You can't change the width like you can a S197 chassis.

Thanks for the compliment!! This build would be expensive and I think most people don't have the patience to wait 3 years. This build was something that I will NEVER do again. I have over 5000 man hours...that alone will give you the cost of doing one the right way at a good shop. A perfect blend of 2 Mustang's take time and no one has done it this way! Thanks for watching the channel!!!

Both...the lower part is 2012 mustang and I built the rest. It mounts just like the 70 valance. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching Matthew Caouette😎!

Thank you!! I am very please with the results. This car is so much fun to drive! Thanks for checking the channel out!
