ok So I've noticed quite a few companies turning 67 and 68 mustang coupes into fastbacks(clones) and i wanted to know what you guys think of this. I've saw a coupe mustang that had a tree fall on the roof in my area a while back and im pretty sure its for sale and was thinking of getting this done if i can get it for cheep enough but i want some opinions about this from you guys first. thanks in advance for your help

 

It's neither cheap nor easy unless you have extensive experience with welding and bodyworking and cheap access to fastback interior parts. Much cheaper and easier to simply buy a gutless fastback and start there.

 

I dont like the clone cars, but thats just me...

 

I wouldn't want to evey try that unless I was good enough to do body work for a living. That is a lot of work.

 

You would have to get a FB top clip and the deck area. There is a lot of chrome pieces for the door jambs and rear window. Door glass and rear glass, interior fiberglass pieces and a lot of other stuff. If you priced those clones they are doing, over $10 grand for a hull. It is a lot of body work, if you found a FB that needed restoring, I think it would be cheaper and easier. Plus the resale would be a lot better.

 

I have not heard of any companysdoing a coupe to fastback conversion. What companies are you talking about?

 

Theres no company i know of its just normal people doing it.Id just buy a dynacorn body its not much more then what youll spend doing this.

 

i know someone that does it by my house. i swear he does such a good job you would never know the difference. but how much it costs, i could tell you. and im guessing for the price id rather just get a real fastback.

 

Bad idea. If you simply can't live without a FB, go buy an original.

 

My nieghbors newphew does this at his shop www.autokraftnebraska.com i might ship it out to him to have him do it but i know of a few shops that are alot closer that do this fairly regulary Heres what a before and after pic of what the autokraft guys did go to the website i posted to see more pics What i'd like to know is how much the interior, glass and etc parts will cost me (the coupe id be using is complete for the most part.) Im always on the look out for a real fastback though and if i can't find one i like by summmers end i might do this
