@@RidicULooseAutomotive no.. the list goes on, however the interest in things wanes and thats when you pick up another one. Haven't driven my 67 Cougar since 1987, before you were born I bet. Its here waiting for me to finish the GTOs and a Cutlass.. well, get them drivable/race ready. Cool project. I'll follow along.

The intro was what i needed to get back on my 65 coupe project! Good luck to you, from the land down under!

Best wishes on the 65 project! Thank you for watching!

I love the opening monologue. My project is a real slow-burner - currently approaching a decade and it's only recently got into paint - and I lot of people don't understand that it's about the journey as much as anything else. I've had people ask me, "But what will it be worth when it's done?" and I have to explain to them that, in my mind, I'll never be 'done' with it.

You can make it a fastback if you’re going to reskin the roof ,make them everyday, place in Wpg sells them. Don’t just stick the tip in Put it all the way

I bought my’67 Mustang in 1972. My sold it when I went into the army 3 years later. Last I bought a’65 Mustang. Just a nice driver 😊

Dude can't wait to see what you do, have a 68 also just as bad, this series gives me hope. 🙂

Advice when disassembling. Tag and bag. Things like the hand crank, screw and plastic isolating washer. This stuff is EZ to loose. The duct tape is probably so the. Body filter would stay on the roof and slow through. Looks like a candidate for a fastback conversion.

Felony has good bones overall and aside from the roof, tosses me back to the work on the 66. I know you’ll be able to save it for sure. It certainly looks like a 90’s resto with the motto "If you cant duck it, f*ck it" and utilization of the cave and pave method of body work. I truly feel that back then, some of the body repair specialists were sculptors more than repair people. YOU GOT THIS!!!

I wish I was there to thrash with you! But I just bought a 68 cougar in waaayy worse condition. Drug it out from under a carport. It hadn't run in 20 years. Towed it home and checked the fluids and run a fuel line from a jug. After couple times turning it over, busted off and ran! It starts and runs every time! No brakes though 😢. No hot rod power tour for me😢.

If I could make a suggestion? Whatever camera you are using is jumping around way too much. Like, getting sea sick amount! Try finding some better stabilization software or hardware and don’t jump around so much. Slow panning shots are better. Just a quick suggestion, otherwise great job on the channel. Looking forward to more of the Mustang series.

The opening in the valence would be more " Shelby" than anything else that came after the original Shelby's.

Just subbed only because I want to see how this turns out, how does a roof get that bad? I replaced my quarters on my 67 in the garage, not hard to do. I would be more concerned with the front and rear frame rails and torque boxes if you are going on the power tour, maybe put on some sub frame connectors.
