Fesler Built 1966 Mustang Gt Project

[fesler]

alright we are on the car full time now and its getting ready for paint so I am going to post up some build shots to where we are so you can all get caught up.

This car was a 1966 Ford Mustang GT matching numbers, yes that is right a matching number car that we are going to cut up and rework to make it look like it should have when Ford built it.

This car came to us with paint done ready to go back together that is all it needed. We were going to just do a nice restore on the car and we found rust so you know what that means complete car needs to come apart and start over.

If we are going to start over why not just go all out well that is what we are going to do. Every panel on this car is rebuilt or reworked in some fashion. I will post as many pictures as I can to get you all caught up and as some of you may have seen we brought this car out to SEMA in raw metal.

This car was in our booth at SEMA last year in the raw stages to show the kind of work our shop does and to show everyone in this industry that we are not afraid to let people see whats under the paint. Lots of people say we cant get things done and we only bring cars to SEMA that are half done but we bring cars to the shows in stages so you can see all the metal work and how they were built. Not to mention we had 9 cars at SEMA last year on display all over the place.

Check out the build pics and let me knwo what you think and if you have questions ask.





heres what we found under the paint, nice work for a car that had a $10,000 paint job on it.


Here are all the panels that had rust

So we called up Year-one and got some replacement panels to fix the car right left and right side were bad. We cut off both quarters to do it right, as you can see by the first patch job they hacked the car up so much that it was too far gone to fix right.

Well once we get this far lets tub it with huge tubs for a Mustang and still keep the factory back seat area

Test fit for tubs and trimming

Here is how we did the rear of the car, all hand fabricated out of steel. We wanted to get rid of all the pot metal on the car

The rear bumper is two bumpers all cut up to make what you see here very heavy metal work just in the bumper alone.

here is he hood work, we wanted to build an actual functional hood that worked. We used the GT hood and built from there
