1965 Fastback with DSE
We will be installing DSE mini tubs, subframe connectors, front and rear suspension in this 1965 Fastback.
This is what we are starting with. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/01.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/10.jpg The first step is to remove the undercoating before it goes to get media blasted. I have never seen so much undercoating. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/07.jpg You never know what you will find under the paint http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/19.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/23.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/25.jpg |
Love that body style. :thumbsup: What's the owner going with for a drivetrain?
Don't let Matt near it.:rofl: :cheers: |

Subscribing... I plan on using the DSE front and rear systems in my 66 GT fastback, so I'm really interested in seeing the installation detail.

There was a lot of bubbles and paint coming off so I decided to investigate before sending it to be blasted.

Ha you guys always seem to end up with projects that have to be done the hard way.

We have repairs to do before we install the DSE mini tubbs.
The front crossmember had been hit so we replaced it http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/31.jpg Before we installed the new one Brian cleaned up the surface rust than brushed a coat of SPI epoxy http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/34.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/36.jpg The left front apron has a little rust so Brian cut it out http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/38.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/39.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/41.jpg There was also a little rust on the firewall. After drilling out the spot welds on the fender apron Brian patched it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/42.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/43.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/44.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/45.jpg |
Both quarter panels need to be replaced.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/50.jpg After they were removed everything was epoxy primed http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/51.jpg Lining up the new trunk floor http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/57.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/58.jpg |
Off to a good start :thumbsup:

Brian wanted to fit the mini tubs before installing the quarter panels the first thing he did was cut out the frame rail to make room for the new one that come in the kit.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/63.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/64.jpg These braces come with the kit http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/65.jpg This is what needs to be cut out for the new mini tub. You can go in 2" or 3" we chose 2" because in you go 3" you have to narrow the supplied frame rail 1" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Mustang/66.jpg |
I'm sorry I have forgotten to update

excellent work:thumbsup:

When you epoxy prime the inside of the quarter panels and such, do you consider that good enough protection or do you plan on those surfaces eventually receiving another top coat as well ?
Maybe a dumb question, but I'm not sure how accessible some of those areas are whne you are ready for top coat. |
How is this build compared time wise to the Dynacorn body build ?

We will prime again and paint whatever color the owner wants. |

Damn, which I could afford to change my mind like that.
I got a new job so haven't been able to make it to any of the club meets. Possibly next week. |

Great job on the build. Quick question on the rear end. Is it the same flange to flange width as a stock 65/66 (57.25")? It looks narrowed, and I imagine it has to be so the wheel and tire combo look good. Thanks in advance.

Gotta subscribe to this one --- You just have a fantastic shop Rusty!
|
some awesome bodywork going on, very nice build
