67 Supercoupe

[vancouver67]

I thought I would post some pictures of the progress so far on my 67 mustang coupe.

The floors have been removed and the art morrison chassis fitted.
I have fabricated the front floors but am just starting on the metal behind the seats, the tubs, and the trunk floor.

Primered chassis

Nice Project! Great start, keep the posts and pictures coming...

[Young Gun]

They are amazing frames...everything you could want in a frame and really great people running the company too!!!

Good! glad to hear that! which suspension set up are you running? and does the frame come with a transmission crossmember already or do you need to weld that in as well?

[vancouver67]

I am running the air bagged setup, mustang II up front and four bar in the back. No engine mounts or trani crossmember were in it. You have to put those in yourself.

its gonna have a sick stance with the bags deflated im sure! i knew you had to put in the engine mounts but was not sure about transmission mount, thanks for the info!

[customcam]

Cool project great to see a stang getting done
Q: u dont need a jig to weld in the chassis?

[Restomod]

Looks great,what engine/trans you gonna run?? Also put a guard around that light bulb I understand they are extreamly poisonos if broken.

[kamaroman68]

Awesome. Will you be making the body a removable type or welding the body directly to the frame? Chris

[Ron S]

Morrison definitley is the best frame on the market,I was very close to ordering one for my Mustang,until I desided to go bargin basement.Looks good.Ron

[vancouver67]

The body is going to be removable. I am putting in mounting brackets and bolt it directly to the frame.

you don't need a jig, just good spots to measure from

[kamaroman68]

Thanks for the info... Could you put up some pictures of the mounts you will be making to bolt the body to the frame??? I dont want to seem retarded and all just trying to get some other ideas (easier) than what I am thinking about. Thanks Chris

I am having the brackets that I will be welding to the frame fabricated in the next couple of weeks. I will be mounting through the floor in 6 places, close to the kick panels, seat mounts and near the back seat trani hump.

I will post a CAD sketch when I get a moment.

[pro-touringAK]

Awesome project! Do you have any renderings? I have a 68 that I am trying to restomod out but since I'm a newby I can only dream of being able to do what you're doing. Very cool!

[Restomod]

Cool the cammer is a hood full, going NA or Kenne Bell, Turbo???

[PleaseNoSteve]

Lookin good - keep it up!

[kamaroman68]

Were you ever able to get a shot of the body mounts you were fabricating? I would really like to see the front floor fabrication also if you get a chance. You seem to be really moving along with this!!!! I wish i had your talent. Chris

[vancouver67]

kamaroman

I had fabricated two long L brackets with 4 mounting placements that I welded onto the inner rocker. This will sit on the frame. I am making some threaded rods that I will weld into the frame.

Here is a pic

Here is hard to see but the brackets are now sitting on the frame on

[kamaroman68]

Very easy and very nice. Thanks for taking the time to post your pictures. My first idea is very similar except I used a full piece of channeling that surrounded 3 sides of the frame rail (top and 2 sides). I would like to see pictures of the floor pans you fabricated also if you get a chance. I am wondering if you will be using basically a flat sheet over the top of the frame rails or will be recessing some of the pan into the frame openings. Thanks again. Chris

This car is going to be killer. I love it.

Here is what the firewall and floor look like

[formula98]

Wow really some nice progress! Looking good..... Keep the pic's coming

[killer69]

nice project!! where in Vancouver are you? if you need any help on the project let us know?

[Young Gun]

freeking badass 'stang!

[vancouver67]

nice project!! where in Vancouver are you? if you need any help on the project let us know?

I live in Burnaby but work in Poco, not far from your shop.

Thanks for the offer. I work on it in my spare time, which really isn't much. I have thought about sending it to a shop but have not got to that point yet.

When I'm out in your area I'll pop by.

[vp23271]

Wow! Keep posting pic's with your progress. It's looking good!

[vancouver67]

Here are some pics of the work on the engine mounts that I got from custom motorsports. I fabricated my own gussets for a more aggressive and finished look.

I am so happy with the finished look. Maybe nobody will ever see it but I still think they look killer.

whoa.....see some Princess Auto machinery there!.....was the car really flimsey and scary when you had the floor all cut out.......I gotta do the same to mine and Im a little nervous of that part......doug

[Young Gun]

that all looks awsome...great work on the floor, how much time did something like that take?

[vancouver67]

Yep Princess auto home shop.... The body was flimsey once I took the floor out but thats why I put it on the frame before I cut out the firewall. Was not as bad as I thought though. I thought it would flare out pretty good but it wasn't that bad.

It's nerve wracking creating the process but a hell of alot of fun!!!

[vancouver67]

that all looks awsome...great work on the floor, how much time did something like that take?

Took a couple of weeks to get all the parts made then took me about 30-40hrs (I am pretty slow) to get everything fitted placed, tacked then finish welded. Still have the back floor and trunk to finish though

[Young Gun]

well it looks top notch...may have taken some time but time well spent!

[LMDGUY]

d@mn.. it looking good!

[Rantheman]

I like were this is going very nice!

[vancouver67]

I got the area under the rear seat completed and welded in. This gave it enough structure so that I could lift the body off the frame so that I can finish the seam welds from underneath, remove the rear wheel wells to put in the new tubs and finish the trani and engine mounts....

looking good


hey i didnt know they made funny cars that opened from the rear ;-)

[vancouver67]

I have put the motor and trani in and have the motor mounts finalized. I need to now put in the trani crossmember but I can not align the crossmember with the trani mount as the exhaust cut throughs ar right in line. I plan to have the crossmeber behind the cut throughs and cantilever the mount forward I have a mockup in the pictures and have drawn what the finished mounts will look like. What do you guys think. Would this work or put to much stress on the crossmember?

Man, I love full-frame projects.. :drool:

[SaturnVUEguy]

Great project! Really like the wheels you picked out, what are they?

They look like powdercoated '94-95 Mustang GT wheels to me

:kewlpics:

well I'm always impressed by you guys that can weld and fabricate!

great looking work man, and love the updates with pictures too!


Keep up the good work!

[vancouver67]

After some more thought and a kick in the ass from a friend to do it right I worked on the attached updated design. A hell of a lot cleaner looking and a much better fit for the car. Now waiting for the final cost to waterjet or plasma cut the main braces so I can get them done and put in.

Sweet looking trans mount there

[vancouver67]

So back here after many many years the project is back on. Took it to Plan B Hotrods to get it going as with all things in life everything else took priority ove the car.

Anyways thought I would share some pictures.

Same frame but changed out the motor to a 2018 GT setup from MARS instead of the Cobra motor.
