66 coupe -fast back, yea i am going to do it again

sunny california ,half way between bakersfield and fresno its suposed to be in the
80s all this week and no rain. taking the weekend off as there is a vintage fly in
this week end and they do there stunts directly over my house ,dont get any beter

if any one has any questions on parts i used feel free to ask, with the new parts i used a donner fastback is not needed and its not the typical hack job, they are all new parts
i have a fairly detailed album under horse sence 66 coupe to fastback conversion
i am having the interior pieces cnc plasma cut so they will be available soon
this was a fairly simple conversion atleast for me but i do have panel fitting experience
the total time for all was around 74 hours but i think the next one will be much faster
the materials were some were around $3000. paid 500 for the coupe so you can
see it was a deal now i have a fast back, and you know how hard they are to find
i plan on taking more pics till its finnished so stay tuned

you got it ,30 miles east of 99 tulare county ,right in the foot hills
this is the place to be for racers especialy in the 60s -70s ,guys like
Al vanderslice he raced a 64 thunderbolt in 60s-70 from farmersville
or good friend Ronny Broadhead,who wone315 points out of 320 in 63
winning the nhra nationals breaking records 3 times and also taking
worlds points crown in his 363 hp pontiac along with his partner hl shahan
this area is famouse for record setting racers and believe it or not country
singers and writers . you can read about Ronny in the march of 64 Hot Rod if you can
find one .and my neighbor Lennard perry who a couple of years ago set a road race
record in his boss 302 ,could be the garden of eden but we do have several snakes

had to buy the full right and left side of the 67 fb to get the door upper structure i bought the kit in un welded form they didnt even know they sell it that way but they do, right and left 65 fastback quarters,lower rear window panel fast back, rear roof brace 65 fastback, may or may not need 65 tail light panel ,up to you. 65 fastback
roof,dont need the front brace its already there,the rear trunk devider for 65 fastback .the only thing you will use from the 67 pieces is the upper door frame and that you will be triming,and the curved
brackets that mount the inner structure to the wheel tubs ,the rest is swap meet items i guess unless you need the wheel tubs or rockers ,i just hung on to them as i will probably use them on down the line,the rest is simple 18 guage plats that i made to replicate the origional as close as possible , be glad to help step by step its not that difficult but you will need welding skills. i am having the plates cnc plasma cut when i get them i will let every one know

I see this application becoming more and more popular. Is there a problem with title changes? About how much are the parts for this? I want a 65 fast back as well, one of these, if affordable would work well...

the parts were around $3000 took about 74 hours to trim the coupe parts off and replace with fastback panels, since the front end is un touched it retains your origional numbers ,so its still a coup by number with a fast back body

i forgot the trunk lid save your self some trouble and use the parts from
dynacorn the quality is far above any thing else and the fitting of the panels
is much easier i know this from experiance and several headaches

sitting out side stang-aholics shop, ron has started removing the spring towers
getting ready for the ifs

just finnished the template for the inner plate that will mount
the outer origional vent, i will send it out to be cnc cut as well

looks like i may have another coupe to fast back conversion to do
i will post pics as well ,should be a lot easier this time. its another
very strait 6 cylinder coupe extra clean
