1968 Mustang Fastback GT 302 4V

[atevres]

Hello everyone! :yah

It 's been a while since I last wrote and I decided to start the post of the work that I'm doing for my Fastback.

As I mentioned in my post presentation, given the state of the entire floor pans and freim rails of my fastback, I bought a coupe to a fastback conversion in recovering the roof of the fast.

Yesterday I finished completely dismantle the coupe. Putting on a template created by me, so do not get lost the original measurements of chassis and body and cut the roof.

Now I am almost ready to install the fastback roof, then wait for the rear quarter etc. to complete the work.

It 'a job a bit complex and long, but it is a task possible without many changes, being coupe and fastback on the same floor.

I decided to remove the entire assembled where rest on the b-pillar and mount the whole roof structure recovered. :confu

I have a great need of your help then reinstall it, because I took a lot of screws and small screws, and even shop manual and body parts, I think your experience will be the best help.

Thanks to all the forum. :wor

That ain't a small job you are doing !!
Double check before welding something together !!
Which vin are you keeping ? The one from the fastback I hope .

Keep the pictures coming... Are you planning to splice in the quarter panels, or replace them alltogether with the dynacorn quarters? Also, are you going to keep the full A pillars from the fastback too or splice it at the windsheild pillars? I'm looking forward to seeing this mine was also a coupe that I converted over to a fastback.

Updating something: I removed the roof to replace the drip side. Came the fenders and trunk dynacorn of big business began to assemble all the parts.
It was not easy at all. To be perfect believe it is not possible with quste parts which have many differences of measurements between them. Then think any '60s car is the same as all other measures mm.
I am looking for to find the right balance of lines and proportions, and edit these parts repro that leave much to be desired.

All in all we are getting the result.

I purchased the deck lids 3 (THREE) times!

Dynacorn same all three times, always different measures. The first two wore badly despite changes cut and paste.

The third arrived but after two changes seem to be very good.

Looking very good. Very nice collection of pics showing all the hard work these beasts can require when bringing them back to life.

Sorry if I've updated recently, I've been getting busy schedule ..
The car has been painted this weekend, and I must say that after almost 2 years of hard work the emotion of seeing her so beautiful was very large.
