Hello everyone-

i recently bought a 67 mustang fastback but have no idea where to begin( rookie here )! The stang I bought is beat up and needs work with the frame....I know its going to be a lot of work and even more money, but im commited. I got it for a decent price so im not desappointed in its condition. I will post pictures as soon as I can...any comments would help tremendously.

Thank you!

 

Welcome to the forums, [sm=hiya.gif]I'd say just focus on gettin your pics for us to see. Kinda the blind leading the blind at this point. By some standards my stang is beat up to others its in great shape, [sm=chattypair.gif]so without pics or more information not much we can do for ya. Maybe check out the top 25 things to do to your stang in the stickied section at the top of this board... heres the link Stickied topic[sm=partyparty.gif]

I say get your frame and body done 1st then your drive train and the rest of the car

 

I'd do mechanicals first... don't want to risk a fresh paint job pulling engines and such.

 

Well, pull the motor then do the body work. Do it the Overhauling way

 

I'm in the same boat Demon,
I'm in the planning process.
1) I'm starting with suspension and brakes.
2) rebuild motor & drive train.
3) body and paint.
4) interior.

 

i did motor and drive train first i figure its the most expensive part (well for me it is) next brakes and suspension...but im not driving it until brakes and suspension are done, then off to the body shop

any of you guys know a good body shop in so. california?

 

Hey Syntax-

its good to know im not alone...I think you are well ahead of me...i need frame work unfortunetly and ive been pricing around...i called this restoration place but they said it would cost anywhere between 2,000-10,000 dollars! 10k is alittle out of my price range at this point in time [:-] .

Just looked over your pictures.
From what I saw, looks like the most important skill you need available is excellent welding & jigging skills. If you don't have them, or know of someone willing to donate their time who does have them, Stop where you're at. Roll it on a trailer and go visit some autobody shops and get estimates.

Obviously without a good solid chasis, there is no need to go any further.

You have one advantage. With the amount of repairs needed to the chassis, it would be nothing to add in additional torque boxes and subframe connectors!

Good luck,
