You guessed it ,another 67 FB. Conversion

[horse sence]

It would

I was thinking that another way around it would be to drill the plug weld holes on the seat divider instead? You'd have to weld upside down, though.

Be a pain in the butt ,but that is how i have to weld the roof to the rain gutters ,already got a hot one down my sleeve

 

[Olivethefet]

I swear. I would damn near pay just to come watch you work on this stuff! I'd bring beer instead.

Well ,it looks like pop and spatter figured it was do or die today ,the divider is in .now on to the tail panel

Do you have a set measurement for that divider or does it vary by car?

A set measurement ,but it can vary by 1/8

I didnt get get anything done today with deliveries and paying bills ,but i bolted in the vents to see how they fit and they fit very well

 

[horse sence]

I got the tail panel to the quarters welded ,the trunk corners are in and i finished welding the window area . I still have to weld the wheel lips ,back by the rear valance and the roof to the rain gutters but it is starting to look good

 

[horse sence]

The back end is done ,except for grinding the welds . The roof is welded to the rain gutters and all the weld in brackets are in side . Still have to finish up the front toe board and patch the quarter window holes in the door jamb and it is done ,and it is back on the ground

 

[horse sence]

I got some of the welds ground .
Bought a new liner ,tip ,cone and new defuser for my mig . $50 for all including a box of new tips . It didnt want to supply gas to the gun at first ,i dont know what the problem was but after taking it all apart 4 times it finally works . Now i have to play around with the wire speed but it is making a pretty good plug weld . One decent weld but i cant see through my helmet ,have to get a lighter lens

[horse sence]

Still not where i would like it ,but i can stitch weld now so thats good

 

[horse sence]

This one is done ,probably head out to the paint shop next week .
Be starting on my nephews maybe next week .

Looking forward to a detailed write up like this one. Thanks!

 

[horse sence]

If you need more patches let me know and i will save them ,the quarters have a patch on both rear bottoms though

 

[02 281 GT]

I don't think I need anything at the moment. I have all I need to put the tail panel back together. Next step will be the front fender aprons.

 

[horse sence]

A little late but , i took all three of my spot welders apart, cleaned all the connections and managed to get all of them working again . This will make the next one a whole lot easier to build,and a lot less grinding . Should be starting on it Saturday

nice to see the spot welders come back to life
The fastback looks great, no rust is hard to get my head around.
Seems every mustang I've known has always had a little.

Just amazing seeing a car get taken all the way down and fitted back with new metal.

Jim, are the measurements for these published somewhere, or is this just information that youve collected over the years?
I'm having impure thoughts about selling my fox and picking up a '70 coupe that's nearby and been for sale for forever.

 

[horse sence]

I have 3 69s to measure from . The 67s ,i had a fast back here but i sold it ,i have some of the measurements
