I saw this article Galpin Auto Sports builds a 1969 Ford Mustang from scratch «

I was wondering if anyone new the chassis that they used to make it. Did they use a new one or one from an old mustang? If they used a new one who do you think is the manufacture?

thanks for any help

The article mentions that they used a Dynacorn reproduction body. Check out the 3rd pair of pics from the manufacturer's site:

Licensed Replacement Body Shell

Only $17G's for the basic body, plus shipping . . . . . .

Dude the Mustang is a unibody. The chassis is the shell is the body. All are one.

That means the "body" and the "chassis" are all one piece, a welded assembly, and cannot be separated, or made separately. Such cars were lighter, stronger, and cheaper to make than earlier cars with a separate body and chassis.

What you see in these photos is a single, welded piece.
