[snowb07]

I was wondering if anyone had a diagram of all the body mounting points to the chassis.
thanks

No one will have one cause there are non. Mustangs dont' have chassis, they are unibodys.

Have you ever been under your car?

 

[snowb07]

yes but I was told that you should be able to unbolt the body from the chassis, But If not I must be listening to the wrong guys,

You can get front fenders, the doors and trunk off along with a few front and rear parts. The rest of the body is "spot welded" together. In fact, mine has picked up the name "Flexible Flyer". One reason being there is no frame.

Are you going to start a project?

Must have been Chebby guys. As alread stated, Classic Mustangs are unibodies. That being said, if you do get the "body" off of the "frame", you REALLY screwed up bad.

On a side note, ignore the smart ass comments, such as "Have you ever been under your car". Not all of us are born knowing everything there is to know. Some of us, like you and I, actually ask questions and learn as we go along.

Anyway, have fun and ask all the questions you want.

Remember, there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers.

Lesson learned here, never listen to a Chevy guy about Mustang stuff.
I've had several guys tell me Mustangs were restored off the frame, blah, blah, blah. When you ask if about it being a unibody they give you a stupid look, heheh

Sounds more like a Chevelle (they call them B or J bodies right?) guy, the Camaro (F body) folks know what a unibody is

Actually, when they were introducing them in 1964, Ford called it a "Platform Chassis", meaning that the front rails and the floor were the chassis. The body sheet metal was then welded on. The final result was similar to a unibody, but stiffer. Just a little-known history point from one who bought one of them in April, 1964.
