do u have pictures of your fastback? how rusted is it?

 

Unless your an ace mechanic and have a shop like the guys on TV....don't bother. It will be an endless headache and never be right. Sell the rusted FB and sell the couple...save a couple more bucks and do it right.

 

First you need allmost all rear parts from your fb, besauce rear fender lines are different. And if your fb is rusted you have to buy new ones. Then roof line is different so where to cut? Maybe near windshield? Welding a new top in correct place is difficult to do. When coversion is done and if you can do it by yourself maybe price is not very very high, but still you have home made thing in your hands. If you ever try to sell that thing it will be difficult. If you have to use profesional help to do coversion forget it. You will get most expensive Mustang.

As all others has been said: Sell those cars and buy real fastback.

 

Yeah, where would you start? I guess you would have to buy the tools first. Torch, welder, heavy duty grinding wheel ...on, and on. By the time you got it finished you would have more into the car than it would ever be worth.

 

I agree with all others here. No reason to do this when you could sell both of yours and buy a decent fastback to start with. Can't imagine why anynone would uundertake this project. Just too much work with no payout.

 

Actually, it kinda is. No "cutting the cars in half" necessary. (Although it's certainly not the kind of project I'd take on myself!)

Here's pics of a completed coupe to fastback conversion:

Dan,
Thanks for the info. and the web site. That was just what I was looking for. I've been measuring and remeasuring and
I couldn't see why this couldn't be done. I'll be cutting Saturday morining.

 

Hey, it ain't concours,but if it works, it works. Beats the heck out of drawing in engine heat, huh?

 

Yup, that would work just fine. Will free a few ponnies

 

Ne either Danny. Man, that looks like a lot of work, and an expensive project. Good luck with it though, and let us know how it turns out. We need pics as the project matures, so keep that digital handy.
