Before you buy a coupe to convert to a fastback you need to watch this! 

Good video! After restoring several vintage Mustangs my advice to most (not all) people who dream of restoring a classic by themselves is this: Make money in YOUR chosen field and then buy the best finished car you can. And start enjoying it immediately. Then it doesn't sit in your shed while life passes you by. If I had a nickel for every amateur that had big dreams but never finished restoring their car I could buy a '67 GT500.

Thanks Scott. Great Advice!

I am 50 years old. And the 3rd generation of restoring old mustangs. Now that my grandpa is gone, my dad is to old, and I'm on my 3rd back surgery......our restoring days are over. We still have tons of parts, even California packages..... 2 or 3 coupes, and 3 or 4 convertibles that we never to restore. Now they just set in the field. Your video has relit a fire in me to want to give it one last try. We no longer have any fastback unfortunately. But I have plenty of parts, and cars, that I should be able to make 1 good car. Thank for the inspiration. And God bless.

Got my list before I was done watching video, thank you GOD is great

These really gave me hope brother thank you so much god bless you.

LOVE the video's. Need the list. BLESS YOU.

Great Video! Awesome info as always buddy

Thanks for all the info , first car I ever fell in love with was a 60 something mustang, and at my job for the past year I’ve been looking at one and it’s available, I purchased your instructions, very thankful , always wanted a project car , again , thanks

Thank you for doing these videos, I have been looking to do this for a while and honestly did not know where to start.

Great video. Lots of good things to look for

Thanks again for these great videos. I hope you keep the series up because this is really the only good resource on this project I’ve come across. God bless!

Thank you sir. I am currently in the process of purchasing a 66. I like your video because you go into detail with what to look for. Thank you again. God Bless

Wish I would have seen this video before I bought my 1965 coupe.

Here in Mo you can build a trailer and get a vin put on it from the highway patrol, I wonder if you can do the same with a reproduction crate or boxed body by showing a bill of sale for said parts but you will have to build it from scratch. Guys build fiberglass cars. And you see them with tags on them. If its all new parts there has to be a way around this thats legal.

Great information. Thank you. God bless.

So I agree with almost this entire video but one part the cowl panel part. I worked at a restoration shop for 5 years and and it’s in your best interest in your investment to replace that lower cowl panel from factory they weren’t painted the only paint that was ever put in the inner cowl to protect that metal was from the overspray shot through the cowl vents so almost all need to be replaced I would still mark that as a yellow not a deal breaker but a hell of an undertaking for the average person because there are at least 100 spot welds on that cowl but that’s my two sense this is a great video though !! Definitely subscribed

I would like the list you have put together.

Great info. I just went through the process of getting a title for my fastback. It sucks, but luckily kansas isn't that bad to get a title for a vehicle that doesn't have one.

hey just came across your channel ill see waht you doing this was an awsome video

Excellent advice! Just a note, in Alabama and a few other souther states, we don’t even title these old cars. It’s sold and transferred with a bill of sale and old registration.

Scott's doing the Lords work 7 days a week! Appreciate this info

I live in Wisconsin, getting titles isnt too bad but it takes a couple months. If the car ur rebuilding is older than 20 years old n the engine is over 20 years old u can get a hobbyists rebuild title without going through inspection. Once u get the title u can switch the motor to whatever u want. U can also get abandoned car titles by taking pictures of all 4 corners n vin number n pay fees but its a longer process waiting for stuff to be mailed back n forth.

thanks pastor

Pastor Scott, what Church? I have to say you're very honest and you put together a very good video for a person that wants to do this conversion that doesn't know a lot about Mustangs, or how to do any work on them from the start. I lived and breathed first gen Mustangs as a young man and I still love them today. I've owned a 65 V8 4 speed convertible before all the aftermarket sheet metal was available. I had tons of fun with my 65, but the floor was a bit rusty when I bought it, and as a rusty convertible gets worse, what happens? The doors don't close well. I ended up selling it for parts because at the time, it wasn't worth saving. Then I bought a 69 Mach 1 351 4 speed car that also needed areas of the floor repaired, and yes the torque boxes as well. By this time, some aftermarket sheet metal parts were becoming available, but still not everything. So, I had a shop do the repairs to the torque boxes and floor. Yes I was young, the car was solid when got it back, but the shop pieced it together with sheet metal and rectangular steel tubing. Yeah, I thought they were going to use the new repair panels that came out, oh well, lesson learned. But along the way I had learned to MIG weld and remove panels by drilling out the spot welds and how to weld in the new ones. Eventually, I worked my way up to owning a 67 Shelby GT350 4 speed car that had some damage that I was able to repair myself. Yes, this was a long time ago (1983, or 84 before I got married). I paid $4,500 for the Shelby with a Title. I had to borrow a pickup truck and rent a car trailer to retrieve the car from PA and bring it to New England. In the end, I sold the car in 1993 or 94 for $15,000 and the interior needed to be finished but I had all the parts to get it done. Then of course, Shelby prices went through the roof and an average guy isn't able to own one. So, yeah, I'd love to have another 67/68 Fastback, but at my age, I'm not able to do the work myself, so it's more of a nice dream than a reality. I sure like watching what everyone's doing with these cars; it makes me feel young again. I have liked and subscribed to your channel and I'll be following along with your build. I have a lot to watch, but I see all the extra work you've done to your Mustang thus far, and I know it's going to be a great car when it's finished.

Awesome video for those of us that just want a fastback and don't care about "originality." Liked and subscribed. Keep the great vids coming brother.

Good video with good information! Wouldn’t hurt to cut back a bit on the repetitive self promotion though.

There is no such thing as a front quarter panel... or a rear fender for that matter. Fenders in the front, quarter panels in the back. lol Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine, and you said front quarter panel like 50 times. With that out of the way....Great Video man, thank you so much for taking the time to provide all of this valuable info. I always wondered how much work it would take to do this, and your vids have shown me it is very doable. Appreciate it.

I like the video, please send the check list

YOU'RE AWESOME!!! Perfect explinations. Perfect feedback. whole thing is extremely well thought out!

I need your list to build my fastback

I need that list thanks

Hey Scott! I already have a pristine 67 s-code coupe (Coo-Pay), but still hung around and watched the whole video. And, this old boy has known for years a fastback demands a lot more money then the coupe and they should already know that. Now Sir, where did you buy your fastback kit? And, did you make any videos of that build? Thanks for sharing. Cheers and blessings from Motown/Dearborn.

Great

When looking at a early Mustang to possibly buy I always take a bottle of water and poor down the cowl and look inside to see if water is pouring in....more than once its like a waterfall inside the floor.

Great Video I Have a solid 68 coupe that I am sending to Lost Socket garage. I had planed to drive the car there, would it be worth it to remove the sell able parts and take it to them on a trailer? I did not get your Email, would you mind posting it

I liked and subscribed and went to gumroad, are you charging for the list now? Your video said you're giving it for free.

Hi I’m subscribed to your channel I’m from Chile and I am starting a project with a Mustang 67 coupe I’m already do all the world systems and I want to do the modification to fastback can you please send me that list.?

Will the doors interchange between the coope and fast back , same door ?

Have you tried to convert from a convertible to a fast back? Convertibles have a stronger brace system due to not having the top and C arms. I have 3 or 4 convertibles

What was the name of the shop in Utah that does the convrtion

Hey Scott, liked the video and subscribed. I don't see your email so i can get the pdf from you though.

I just realized you are working on a 67-68. I have a 66 coup. Is it still worth the conversion? $7k for a conversion kit on cjPony.

Hi, what would you sell me a 65-66 coupe to fastback roller? and do you use the dynacorn conversion and metal?

Hey what brand of chrome wheels do you have on the back of your fastback?

would you please send me the list. does it make a difference if my is a 1966

What vin number can you use? How is it registered?

I have my coupe, I'm ready to build, what do I need to purchase? Please and thank you!

I was looking for the email to send you mine for the free list.

Does this also apply to 65 or 66

Can I just buy it from you at a good deal at this stage?

Truth is that in California you can add at least a couple of thousand for what you describe as a $4,000 car. So this is do-able at your price target depending where you live. Once in a blue moon you'll see 1 good deal, but for the most part you dont want to buy a California Mustang for the good prices you can get because it will be a rustang or missing everything. You have to pay a bit more around here.

You have some for sale?

I live in Alabama and they will not issue a title on a car over 30 years old. The only requirement is a bill of sale.

Can I get the list

Can you send me the list so l can get started

Hey man can I get the list

Where is the email? I want this color coded set of instructions. Whoot!!

Thank you for making these, I sent you an email!

🐺....🖤🌹

That look like a 66 mustang on the thumb nail I thought that is what you were doing

Can I go 67 coupe to 69 fastback?

All mustang cowls have rust, ime. I wouldnt redline a car for just that. Its not that hard to replace.

Dude we understand you made a list. Thank you for making it. But spending the first 10 mins telling us you made a list is severe overkill. I had to skip thru the video just to make sure you actually started telling us something else!

Why did you say the list was free and the link is $10? Kind of misleading....

What's a southern boy doing up north? OH....my bad. We both live in beautiful Arkansas. Sorry.

Scott, this is the second of your videos I have watched. You open by saying you do not want to waste our time but it takes 4 -5 minutes of intro talking before you get down to true information. Everything you said in the first 10 minutes, you say again later in your video. I would appreciate it if you would talk less and say/show more. Do not take this personal, it is just my critique. I like your project and your effort.

I know your a preacher so please forgive my language but I’ve found in my 40 years of life if it has tits tires or tracks it’s gonna cost you money!

Bowtech seriously ? :p

Also, you couldn't be more wrong about rule #1. Yes, every state is different but there's this little thing called the "Vermont Loophole", and it's available to anyone no matter what state you live in. It's a tried and true method and there's plenty of info out there on the interweb on how to do it!

I.like.what.you.do..but..you.never..stop..talking.

so list is not free, cost 10 bucks, thanks anyway

Anything government related doesn’t work😂😂

I think u have a different idea of what wasted time is, halfway thru the video and no information at all.

Yo much yap about your list. I had to stop watching.

Praise the Lord, drive a Ford. And watch out for commies and freaks.

I don't see your email in the description.

Liked subscribed but don’t see your email for a free guild

Sorry I Did Not find You E Mail Address

Can I get your email?

Hey Scott, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't find your email in the description. I subscribed and liked, just need to send you that e-mail.

Hey Scott. Love the videos. I sent you a message on Instagram if you can get back to me that would be great. Thanks!
