Very nice work! Can't wait to see how you hinge the doors and do the top. Thanks for sharing

Nice work so far. You have shown how gentle you have to be when cutting out things from a body. Thanks for sharing.

Good ideas, and progress. The final result should be quite nice! 😎👍

Genius idea making the scribe tool to follow the windshield.

Thank you 👍🏿 I crush my a pillars a couple times

That'll look great when you're done, but thats a wild project!👍

That's going to be epic build Kreg ❤😊

Looking good it be awesome build. Jon

Nice work Kreg! Big endeavor! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress 😎👍

This is quite ambitious Kreg!!! But will turn out fantastic and win best of show at the DAAM coming up.

Kreg the amt version has the t top insert that goes in place after cutting the roof out. That is going to be a big difference in the build.

Nice work Kreg. I’m currently doing the same. Cutting doors off a Revell Bronco. I’ll be following your build on the ‘Stang to see how it’s going. Keep on modeling brother! Jeff of the North

Nice, the Bronco would look good with the doors off, I still plan on cutting the hatch off on the next video.. You will have to email me some pic of your build..

Nice work Kreg. I've opened one trunk so far, not quite ready to try doors yet. Lol

Really excited to see how you do the hinges and door jams!

Me too lol.. I have a few different style hinges I could use, have to make a run to the hobby shop for some tubing, I want to keep it simple yet effective.. Have a good one Steven!

Pretty brave doing this to such a rare kit, I’m looking forward to seeing more updates. I’m also interested in the t-top 84 Capri . Would love to see more of that. It probably won’t fit in your spray booth, though !

That's cool. Hope to see it finished.

Looking good Kreg. I don't have the patience for that

That is some awesome work, Kreg. Looking forward to the next episode

Thanks Vinny, Have to get some tubbing and start on the hinges..

Good luck 👍👍

That was really cool. I will be following this because I have never opened the doors on a model or T-tops. I just opened the trunk on the 56 T-bird Gasser. Thank you Kreg.✌

Thanks Mark, this is my second time cutting a body, first for me on the doors. Have to pick up some metal tubing this weekend to start on door hinges

Excellent work as always Kreg! I was going to suggest using a template from another t-top car, but heck, you made a tool! Great idea! Awesome work as always 👍

Thanks Mike, I sat and thought about the curve around the front glass, and thought of a woodworking project I did using this, worked just as good..

Nice

The last shot of the body reminded me of when I was replacing the torque boxes on my daughters 65 convertible found out how flimsy the body was once one was removed

Oh man, I had to go dig out my Fox bodies out of the stash! I’ve got a pace car I might do in orange or blue. 😎🏁

Nice that would look good in the blue, I have another one had thought of building in a different color.. Have a good one Ron!

Great work!! Way to tedious for me though.

Great video. I may have to try it on my next build.

Have you seen the A4 Garage channel's videos where he made opening doors on a Mustang? I was fascinated how accurately that guy did the inner door jams. (actually the whole model enhancements he did was blue ribbon work) I'll be interested in seeing how you do the center line roof channel connection for the t-tops.

You're very brave.

I started to have regrets once I got into it, thought no going back now lol.. Have a good one John!

Great job so far Kreg! You gotta be really gentle with that. I didn't know if you've been following along with the wagon I'm doing where I cut it the tailgate, leaving just that really thin panel across the back. Everything was fine till I put it in the Tamiya body holder last night. Snap!! So keep that in mind when you go to prime and paint the Stang. Might be better to just hold it by hand

Thanks for the advise Pappy, was working on it last night cleaning/sanding door openings and broke off the left a-pillar at windshield... Yes very fraddrill! I will go check out your build, have not been on Y-T mutch last couple weeks to watch videos, need to get caught up.. Have a good one!

Great project going there Kreg looking forward to seeing the finished product I’m sending you a mustang kit for your collection just hope you don’t already have one
