427 Stroker '65 Ford Mustang Garage Built & Painted!! 

car like. 👍😁😎

Done right they can be really cool. I love how good this one is especially being a true garage build

just needs a '66 shelby gt350 taillight transplant...then it would really stand out!!🤟

Hello Coasting. Wow, to say one of your favorite episodes is amazing. Thank you for that! Yes sir this video shoot was an amazing day and one I'm so grateful Shawn made happen for me. Yes sir, the story is what makes this car very sentimental to me. It's going to one of my kids once my days are done. Then they can decide what they want to do with it.

@@g89stang No problem, brotha. I’m building a ‘69 Camaro that I’ve had since the mid ‘90’s so your build struck a chord with me. You’ve done incredible things and your car is astonishing.

@@CoastingOnFumes Thank you my friend! You are way too kind sir. Really appreciate your comments and good luck on your build. It's hard work and can be frustrating at times, but in the end it's all worth it. Especially when you receive comments like the ones you gave sir....

@@g89stang Thank you! Enjoy that badass Stang!

I love a great car but even more when it has a story like Glenn’s

Reliable motor all the way around

Thanks and I’m as impressed as you are by the car, the story and Glenn being such a cool guy…and a true garage build!

Thank you G Smith! Very kind of you to say sir! Really appreciate your feedback my friend!

Such a great job with this one and a great story

He’s owned it since the late 80’s! Love how he did this in his garage

Right. I think it depends on the year also... 65-68 like the notch. 69-73 I think the fastback looks better. 74-78 don't exist, lol. And 79-93 notch.

Thank you Brian! The car used to have a 347 with a C4. My wife always said a hot rod should not have an automatic in it LOL. So, this time around I opted for the TKO600. So glad I did. So much fun rowing through the gears. Car is a BLAST to drive.

Really a great build and story

Such a great job on this all being done in his garage!

Same for me…amazing garage build

Awesome! Look forward to seeing it

That’s so cool!! Good luck on the build!!

Thank you Robert! Really cool to know others are building classic Mustangs in their garage. So, you know exactly what I went through to build the car.

Thank you ProSkills! Really appreciate your feedback my friend!

Thank you glrestomod! Yes, it always amazing when family helps us realize a dream. I'll always be grateful to my Dad for helping me get this car.

@@g89stang absolutely! Impressive that you did the work yourself too! Much respect to you man! I’ll have to pay and have it done to the ole General Lee😂

@@GLRESTOMOD Thank you brother. I used to think I would have to pay someone, but my brother showed me how to weld and cut metal and do body work. I already knew how to paint and it all came together. Thank you for your VERY kind words!!!

@@g89stang that’s incredible man! Well, you definitely knocked it out of the park on this one! Gorgeous car! I’m glad they featured it!

The stories that come with some of these vehicles are the best

Do you know Borat?

Crazy it’s a garage built garage painted car…so good!!

Thank you Mike! I spent a lot of time prepping the car, painting it with base coat paint and then clear coat. I then used a 7 step process to cut and buff it. Was a TON of work. So, I'm very happy a lot of folks are saying how nice the paint job is.

Cool engine choice for sure. Such a nice build

Thank you Lj! That's awesome man! So glad this video had that effect on you sir! I was smiling on the inside the whole time. Shawn seemed like he was smiling on the outside the whole time. That was so cool to see he was having as much fun as I was. This car is too much fun. I love it!

Love it!! It was a really great shoot with Glenn and his Mustang

Thank you Jeff! Very kind of you to say sir. Yes, my Dad has always been a good dude. Except when I was a kid and would piss him off LMAO!!!! He raised me right though :)...

​@@g89stang very nice mustang my friend awesome 👍🏼😎

Hello Steve! Yes sir, built most of it in my garage. I did have some help as I do not have the tools or skills to do everything, but I'm VERY happy with the results. If you want to see a build compilation video just head over to my RU-vid channel and check out some of the videos I have posted.

I agree Ernie. Every time I see a coupe it's not built to this level. However, it seems almost all the fastbacks are built to this level....

So cool that he is out enjoying it after all these years

Thank you Mr. Man! Yeah it was a ton of work, but well worth it in the end. I always say if you think painters or fabricators charge a lot just try doing it LOL. Although it is a lot of work it is so great knowing I did most of the work and did it the way I wanted it.

Wow!!! Thank you Daniel! You are VERY kind sir!

Sounds so good. Especially with the cut outs open

Thank you Rob! I have dreamed about having an 8 stack injection system on my car for years. So happy I was able to make it happen. It was a lot of work building this car. Working on it every weekend and holiday for 2 years was a lot, but now that it's done I wouldn't change a thing LOL.

@@g89stang atta boy. Make sure to enjoy every minute of it. I too have always wanted a mustang so I can only imagine how good it feels to be out ripping around .🤙✌️

The garage builds done on this level really blow me away!

He really killed it with this garage build!

@@AutotopiaLA Dude, I never learned how to text. Oops🙃

Cool guy and really nice garage built car

Hello Gregory. Thank you so much for your comment and thank you for your service as well brother!!! That's the reason the hood has the black stripe over the cowl. Since the taillight panel was black I wanted to tie the front end in some how. And I agree the black taillight panel on these cars looks great....

Thank you again Nick! Very cool of you to say. I agree, the car can be badass or boring if not done right. I'm so stoked most people here have been way more than kind with their comments.

Thank you my friend! Yes sir. It has been a VERY long time coming if you consider the amount of time I owned this car vs the amount of time I have been able to enjoy it! LOL... Yes sir, hopefully next year when the wife and I head back to SD....

Such a cool build and story!! And we have some more great builds coming plus SEMA next week!!

Thank you Billy! really appreciate that amazing comment.

Thank you Jacob for understanding the model was purely a thank you gift for featuring my car on his channel. I was very stoked to be featured on Shawn's channel and wanted him to know how grateful I was.

That model was such a cool surprise!

Truly nice guy and I love his garage built beauty!

Thank you again Cyber! Really appreciate that sentiment my friend!

@@AutotopiaLA Thank you Shawn! Feeling is mutual! Really enjoyed hanging out with you and your crew. My wife was also impressed with how down to Earth you guys are. You guys are very friendly and fun to be around!

@@g89stang, good vibes abound. Recycle. 🙂

Thank you. Very kind of you to say. I appreciate your comments and feedback.

Thank you Michael! You are correct, this type of build is attainable if you put in the labor and follow a plan or idea until the build is completed. I learned a lot building this car and made my fair share of mistakes. However, I am very happy with the results. Really appreciate your feedback and kind words.

Thank you obewon! Really appreciate your comment sir!

Hello Chris. Thank you very much for your kind comment. Keep your dream alive and you will achieve it. Remember my car sat from 91 to 2010 before I was able to start building it and making my dream come true.

Thank you Cyber! Yeah, I just finished this build 5 months ago. The car barely had just over 100 miles on the build during this shoot. So, I have driven it normally to find the bugs and gremlins, but I really haven't been able to drive it hard. So, it was a blast for me.

@@g89stang, that's what it's all about, yes? Peace and enjoy.

Let’s just say HOURS MANY HOURS and patience which Glen has a lot of!! One of my best friends I know!!

Hello Kimo. I have some compilation videos on my channel if you want to see what I did and how I did it. The easiest way to put it is I sanded the old paint using 400 grit and then 600 grit and fixed all my bad spots with body filler. I spot primed it with 2K primer and then wet sanded with 600 grit. I taped off areas such as my glass with plastic. I sprayed 4 coats of paint and 4 coats of House of Kolor clear. I wet sanded the clear with 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000 and 8000. Then I used the 3M 3 step polishing system to get that paint smooth and shinny. It was a ton of work, but so worth it.

@@baronrich42 Thank you brother!!!

Thank you!

Thank you Kyle!!! Appreciate you like my car and story. Thank you for saying it's well built. I spent every weekend and holiday for 2 years working on it. I'm no expert, but I did my best and did a lot of research to learn techniques and the correct way to do things.

Thank you Mike! Yeah, I was going back and forth between this wheel with the knock offs or the non-knock offs. The difference in price was huge. But my wife said buy the ones and want and then I'll have them. So, I pulled the trigger and I'm so happy I did. I love those wheels!!!

@@g89stang yea dude I never seen a set of those and I completely agree with what you said about Eleanor 👌 , love everything about your build dude especially the intakes on the motor.

Thank you 3V!

@@g89stang Hey you're welcome!

He really did knock it out!

@@AutotopiaLA Hell yeah!

I helped a friend build his 68 Mustang with a 408. Currie 9” and Tremec 5 speed. I’m Mopar, but that 408 stroker was a hell of an engine. He misses his too.

Thank you J! Really appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Wow Don! Amazing feedback my friend! Thank you for your awesome post! I'm not sure what you mean by weight reduction. I didn't focus on any weight reduction, but I did add a fiberglass hood and front valance. The side scoop is from Shelby and is meant to mimic the old Shelby cars from 65/66. Thank you for your comment on it being an excellent garage build. I tried to copy things from factory Mustang's. My seats and exhaust going under the rear end come from the 03 Cobra's. The front valance, side stripes and scoop are from the 60s Shelby Mustangs and my console and center gauges are from newer style Mustangs. Lastly my 8 stack intake and knock offs are meant to mimic the 60s Shelby Cobra's. Thank you again Don! You are very kind sir!

Thank you Julio! It was a lot of work, but so cool the majority of folks are providing very positive comments. Greatly appreciated my friend.
