65 Mustang Restomod Quarter Panel Removal and Wheelhouse Fitment 

I've been following JoDaddy's Garage for some time and he has mentioned your channel on numerous occasions. Last year I got my high school car back 43 years after I sold it (67 Cougar). I have it in a rotisserie now and have the trunk and one wheelhouse removed. Getting ready to replace both rear quarter panels, both wheelhouses, five trunk area panels and the roof. Your videos along with those posted by JoDaddy's Garage will prove invaluable to me as I proceed. Keep up the great work!

Wheelhouse fitment is looking much better! Helps when you can actually get the bad metal out of the way so you can see what you're doing...

I am digging that new wall art

The flap disk reverse-install idea was brilliant!

hammer that metal into submission! LOL...Nice video, great content.

You're making progress. When I started my 66 I would three steps forward and some days 4 steps backward. Looking Good!

Doing good man, the videos are getting better

Put a couple ilet hooks into the garage studs. use them for ratchet strap points and you can pull and tap you inner parts back out a 5lbs sledgehammer is not always the best choice to make metal move but it does work also heat can help massage parts that are really bent. Good luck here to 1000 !!!!!!!!

Looking really good Andrew!

Great progress. I will say this again. You are braver than I am. I would not have the balls to go this far on my Stang by myself. Keep it up. Love the idea of reversing the disk on your grinder. Will have to try that myself.

Looking good sir.good job😁

I found your channel this last week and I've watched practically every video you've posted man. Its nice to see you car coming along

Not the cosmetic project you envisioned at the start is it? Well I am amazed at the structural work you have done. The measurements lining up were a thing of beauty.

Great video Andrew. Glad to see a fellow novice struggle with their project.

Like the mustang work! Good stuff subbed lunar sent me.....keep it going!

You are getting very close to the 1K mark now, Andrew! Great work!

Andrew, you may want to buy a copper welding backer they run around $30 and help bridge holes and gaps between sheet metal. Google it, trust me from experience this will make any welds easier and with better fill and strength.

Nice work, subbed and scrolling through your other vids to follow the work in progress. I feel your pain on the quarter removal. Son and I are working same issue on '70 coupe. The deeper you dive, the more rust. Those brass joints are a pain. We were lucky enough to score an OEM quarter panel. Cost a pretty penny but it's the whole thing and should fit better than aftermarket sections.

Dude, So close to 1k subs. Peeps, if you haven't subscribed yet, just do it! Keep up the good work!

Andrew, I think that you're taking the right approach here... I would not cut that Roof brace unless you really had to. I would just beat it into submission with a hammer like you said... You're doing great bud! Tony K. :o)

The time lapse was awesome, why would anyone want to skip it? Stay driven

Making good headway now! Surprised you split the quarter at the taillight rather than just leave the other half of the taillight and filler. Did the replacement quarter come that way? Keep up the good work! Glad you didn't split the wheelhouse, I think that would have opened a can of worms.

Use a hammer and dolly to straighten your bent pieces .

Great job buddy 👍 That brings back all the memories to what I did on my 65 as well. Although, I had the whole rear end off mine and replaced everything except for the wheelhouses but in hindsight, I'd wished I would have replaced them too instead of just buying the repair pieces for both sides. You're going to run into lots of brazing that was done at the factory so be sure to remove all of it as trying to weld with just trace amounts of it you'll get lots of splatter from the mig. Dont worry too much about bugering up the metal in the trunk rain drain area as you'll probably use body fillers to make it look purdy anyhow. Fun stuff right ??

Looking good. I cringed some when you were removing the tail part of the quarter. The one on the new quarter doesn't fit well so any time you can reuse that factory one do it. That said they filled every nook and cranny on these cars with brass especially in the quarters as the sheet metal stampings didn't fit up well. That brass is a pain to remove as it loads up your discs and makes it feel like it's harder than steel since you are just rubbing it away. Tackling my pass door skin right now here. The better half was watching your video with me and was saying I should be recording my escapades.. Then the part of I have no interest what so ever in editing and neither does she...

Just came across your channel. Nice car. You have good patience. Would you mind telling a guy what you first paid for the 65?

OK got to ask, I love you tarp on the wall thing you got going. How is it attached and how did you do the areas around the door etc? Did you fold over the edges? If you don't mind i might steal your idea it's a clean look and probably will make for easy cleaning down the road.

By the way; the timelapse section actually ends at around 13.49

Forgot to ask. Please tell us there will be a nice v8 somewhere down the line?
