1968 Mustang Fastback

[rusty428cj]

We started this project years ago for a customer who wanted to build an Eleanor from a very rusted out Mustang. We worked on it on and off and than the customer lost interest and I bought it back.






We had to replace the right frame rail and decided to go to a Rod & Custom front end








We had to replace all the sheet metal





More photos soon

First thing we stripped everything down to bare metal and replaced the rusted area with new metal










Epoxy primed the skeleton and took it to a car show.

Haha, that's a fun way to see a car.

It was our yearly Mustang Club of Tampa's show and I figured no one had ever seen a Mustang without sheet metal. I had the Eleanor hood on it.

Nice work on the clean up!
Are you going to go ahead with the Eleanor style?

Yes we are.

Before we installed the new sheet metal it is sanded and epoxy primed.

Nice work . Your making some good progress.

We did away with the drip rails and welded a patch at the body seam area where the factory had lead.

I decided to add mini tubs and function brake scoops

I hope the interior fits over that. Good looking restoration. I was reading a thread the other day. Watch out though, you have a lot of Eleanor haters on here. I personally like the look of them.

[joemac]

Wow, hell of a difference. You pretty much rebuilt the car from new panels.

You do really nice work. Looking forward to more on the coupe.

[Motown 454]

Thats a great idea, nice job on it too.

[MSTSFabbed]

Good lookin sheet work my friend!! But I have a question. Won't that scoop just effectively cool your tires? Your mini tub job alludes to big meats, which means that that hose would have to go into the inside surface of the tub to get any air to the brakes at all. Just looking and thinking. I'm lovin this and your 68 coupe!
