Building a DIY Wide Body Kit for my Mid Engine 67 Ford Mustang Fastback

In todays episode were building a wide body kit for the 67 ford mustang!

That catch on the design and the change is genius. I envy people who have an eye for that stuff. My brain just sees all the gaps filled with tape and is like "Done! It's wide bodied now!" but you made the character of the car speak through those fenders so much more. Bravo

[JBellz]

I do custom composite work like this. A great trick is put aluminum foil over the tape, and you can remove the whole under structure. Works like a reverse plug. Love the build!!

[HighBoi]

these blue tape timelapses were some of the most satisfying

I use a similar technique for widebodies/flares/sub boxes...except I stretch spandex over the skeleton and just brush the spandex with resin so it tightens and hardens before I lay the glass fibre down.

Good call with the back fenders. Excited to see you pull this off!

This build, and the production quality of recent episodes is amazing. The tunes are on point, and I am loving Chris's energy output, positivity. Oscar, as per usual, is killing the fab work! This guys skills overall are seriously impressive. Would be good to see some film on the rest of your team and their contributions. You all kick a$$ !!!

Looks incredible guys. Just one tip from a guy who built fiberglass Humvees for military training simulators. Spend a couple extra minutes with the brushes and pound those air bubbles out between laminations and the whole layup will be massively stronger. Also a quick scuff with 40-80 grit helps each layer bond to the previous. You guys can obviously make anything!

"As you can see it, it, it's not there..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That got me

Hey just a FYI to help with crafting. If you spead some wax on a flat surface. When the wax dries you can lay a sheet of fiberglass on it with resin. When it dries you have flexible fiber sheets you can cut an shape by hand

Greetings from Germany🇩🇪, your videos are awesome.👍🏻

[sterling]

Bro.. I love this channel. The creativity, ingenuity and passion you guys display is infectious. I can not wait to see this build. Well done gentlemen!

[tealelston]

The angles of the front archs are giving me major 60's Stingray vibes, its an interesting look combining it with the Mustang.
Amazing work as always, really makes me want to try something like this myself!

Automotive designer here. What you're doing with the tape and constructing the planes is actually similar to what we would normally do in Clay on the cars. The only downside I can see is that you're not able to get as much sculpture or crown in the surfaces. I would just give a little caution to letting the fenders have a negative curvature. Always try to be positive in fullness to look stronger. The Pull out of the belt to shoulder line was pretty cool! It's crazy to see the 3D steel lattice work; almost like you're 3D modelling in person.

It's awesome as a relatively new car guy to learn new things. Making my own body kit has always been a dream of mine but since I have never been building any kind of stuff on my own I do not yet have the intuition to figure out techniques like demonstrated on this video myself. Learning new shit is cool.

I know all about deadlines working in the classic car industry, but man I can't imagine trying to tackle a crazy build like this with that short deadline that you have. You are flat killing it though!

[danp]

Gotta use a roller dipped in acetone to get those bubbles out of the fiberglass. It will much stronger and save you days of bodywork. Available at any composite shop.
Very cool project, keep after it!

Your guys adjustment to the width of the rear
Was just what you needed 👌looks awesome

[jdmec]

This tape method is genius! Really gets the gears turning in my mind for my Dodge Magnum project.

[peterwilbourne]

Love that you are trying this technique for fabricating the body again, it makes what seems to be a totally impossible task accessible with the application of familiar materials.

[shadyvito]

Fixing the rear that little bit made a WORLD of difference. Great eye for detail.
