Great video! Glad to see the detail and how you shared the measurements at the end. I know it's hard to gauge what should make the cut for a video but you nailed it. keep them coming! All instructions and tips will help when I convert my 68.

I commend U sir! Y’all r duin a great job on that ol coupe! We build & restore mustangs 4 a living! Drag cars in particular! I did this same build a few years ago! Only problem I ran into is the coupe driprails on the W/S pillars are 1/8” taller than the fastback drip rails! Unfortunately figured that out tryin 2 put on the mouldings! Had 2 carefully cut off 1/8 inch of drip rail on a freshly painted car! Learn sumthin new every day! Good luck U guys & I hope that little tip helps y’all out! Test fit ur new drip mouldings b4 U paint! 👍👌

I daily drive a survivor 1967 mustang convertible, and I'd love to have a 6 to 8 coupe to fastback conversion some day

@ScroatBagGarage 3 месяца назад

Tons of these coupe to fastback videos, each different. If that’s what you want go for it. I’ve done roof swaps on fox bodies (T top conversions) and even roadster conversions on tri fives. Enjoyed your video but looks like you did your conversion the hard way.

@Xaltar_ 23 дня назад

Do people actually whine about cutting up Mustang coups? You can literally build a completely new one from parts/repro parts. Not to mention how many were made. Some people just have to complain to make them feel special I guess. Nice work.

@arnoclaessens3729 Год назад

Great video😃😃!! I want to ask a question, were do I find the panels for making a fast back from it?

@FollowTheBuilds Год назад

Kentucky Mustang is a great source. You can also find them from CJ Pony. If you purchase around a holiday, they often offer great discounts.

@persh68 Год назад

Appreciate the video and details! Question: at 14:07 time, you install the qrt/door frame assembly. Your pn 6380 on Kentucky stangs is the WHOLE asm which includes the lower structures (wheel wells, A pillar, hinge pillar, rockers, etc,)and is pricey. Can you just buy the part you installed which does not includes all the extra ? Hope that makes sense. Appreciate your time and help. Thank you.

@FollowTheBuilds Год назад

Thanks for the question! The answer is yes although it comes with a kit. I have the opportunity to have a discount code for the metal. I should have that soon message me at followthebuilds@gmail.com

@tstan6767 Год назад

How did you fill the gap between the roof and quarter panels? What are your thoughts on fabricating and welding a piece of sheetmetal?

@FollowTheBuilds Год назад

I used Dynaglass and it worked out great. It has small strands of fiberglass and really bonds well. It’s a complex shape with quite a bit of geometry going on at that location. I suppose you could fab sheet metal but feel metal putty would have to be used at some point. Slow welds with compressed air between so to not warp or distort things.

@danielnavarro6194 Год назад

Hello. Did you order the complete door frame assemblies and cut them and use only part of them to minimize the work? Or did you order just part of the door frame assembly. Can't really tell, I don't think there is a mention in the video, but in the background I can see part of an unused frame. But in the video I don't see you installing the complete door frame as listed on your parts list. Just looking for clarification. Thank you!!

@FollowTheBuilds Год назад

I did order it but didn’t use it all. On this one I chose to keep the b pillars as they were in great shape but noting that I will be adding metal where the couple rear window is. This allowed me to set the door gaps easily. But on the previous I removed the door B pillars and it worked out well there too. I think it really just depends on condition of your coupe which route you go. In my opinion there is no need to cut if there’s good cond metal behind it. I do spend time treating the rust with Por 15 and/or weld thru primer. I didn’t film all the regrettably. Thanks for this comment!

@gsxr600rafii Год назад

Would it be worth the money to buy a rotted out convertible, and just swap with a dynacorn fastback body?

@FollowTheBuilds Год назад

You could totally do that if one is avail. Floors are different as verts have more inner rocker structure. Many have preferred that flooring to reduce flex under torque. Subframe connectors work there though. I’d say it’s not worth the extra $ on the vert unless you just find a great deal on one. It’s just a few more cuts on a coupe than a very.

Here's a novel idea, why not just buy a fastback? There are so many fastbacks and so few coupes on the road. Did you bother to check the history of the car? May have been worth restoring.

Coupes are for chickens (This makes sense when said and, obviously, not spelled out.)

@michaelhood1291 Год назад

I can’t stand a coupe to Fastback conversion. For you… it might be an awesome and cheap way to have a FB. But down the road, someone always seems to get screwed over by assuming that all Fastbacks are created equally. They end up paying Fastback price for a coupe conversion. 👎🏼

@FollowTheBuilds Год назад

I think I can understand your point and hadn’t thought about folks being dishonest about this down the road. I can see that happening if someone wasn’t aware of deciphering VIN digits. It’s a mod isn’t for everyone for sure. Appreciate the feedback.

Then you must hate everything... don't like fake diamonds bc someone might not educate themselves before buying, mobile homes that are converted to houses without a buyer doing an inspection. Etc etc. It comes down to taking the time to become knowledgeable about what your after before making a purchased... especially ANY used car. Smh

There is no black market for converted coupes being passed off as fastbacks. Doesn’t happen, ever.
