i like to use the unibits they work awesome when drilling out spots welds you can pick them up from home depot etc they are a stepped design so you can easily work in increment of sizes

I understand his position, and for most people, it would be completely right. There is no way I could, or most people could revive a car in that condition. I just think it is a bit childish of him to continue posting in 67fastbackshell's threads telling him to ditch his project, even after seeing other cars he has built that were in a similar condition. I would much rather have someone on here with much less experience who is positive and encourages other members instead of just shooting down their projects. And quite honestly, I think his motivation behind his posting is that he doesnt think others are capable of what he (claims) to have done.

LMAO....

"I would still be proud to tell himthat his car is sweet"

ROTFLMAO....

No, I don't see anything beautiful about a rotted out FBthat someone made the correct decision to turn it into a parts carbecause it was toofar gone. Probably because I'veworked on too many Mustangs in similar condition.

At this point of the game, his car is not "sweet" by any stretch of the imagination. It's a rusty hunk of metal with potential. Whether or not that potential is realized or not is up to him. Realistically, every piece of metal on the car should probably be replaced. Your comments here epitomize my earlier frustration with all of the backslapping congradulatory comments made onhis "look at my new ride" post.

Sometimes, these cars start as a POS.They're 40 years old and not always in the best of shape. To take this car and make itinto a restored classic is a LOT of work. I know because I've done it on more than one occasion. It's called "reality".

I am by no means trying to discourage him from making this car a "sweet ride", but"tellinghimlike it is" is much more beneficial than"boy, that's one sweet ride" comments coming from a 17 year old.

I have a feeling that you and I could argue this point for eternity so let's just "agree to disagree".

I would say it is people like you who ruin the hobby. When I go to a junkyard, I see nice cars in bad shape. An old mustang, to me, is a work of art. No matter what shape it is in, it will always look good. My age has nothing to do with this argument, and I would be willing to bet I am just as 'smart' as you are, even though you may have more experience, so you claim. This forum is about helping others, not shooting them down and telling them their project is nothing more than scrap metal. But I guess we will just have to "agree to disagree."

Good luck with your shell 67fastbackshell, it is beautiful now, and will sure be a great car when it is done.

Also, if I remember right, your taillamp panel was the thunderbird style, like the Shelby's had. Have you considered keeping it that way? I think I would in your situation cuz I prefer that look over the stock 67 lights.
