skemmdur´65 fastback

gaman ad thessu. nu er thessi farinn ur landi h;lfdans bill var hann svona gulur original og hver setti vinyl lookid a hann ?
-
Sælir félagar. :)
Já þetta er bíllinn sem að ég átti. :-(
Þessi mynd er vafalaust tekin mjög stuttu áður en að ég fékk hann, þar sem að ég náði í hann á þennan stað.
Bíllinn var upphaflega "silver smoke gray" með "K" í "color code".
Þegar hann kom hingað til lands 1975 að mig minnir þá var hann "flösku-grænn" eins og kallað var, en það var mjög svipaður litur og var á 1967 Shelby-inum sem núna er farinn til Japan.
Bíllinn var þannig í einhver ár, en sá sem að ég keypti bílinn af skilst mér að eigi þann vafa sama heiður að hafa málað bílinn gulann og sett þennan ógeðslega vínil-topp á hann.
En það er gaman af þessari mynd og hún er sú besta af tjóninu á bílnum sem að ég hef séð.
Myndin hér að ofan er tekin haustið 1980 en þessar hér að neðan eru teknar um páskana 1981.

Greetings from Norway.
State of the car 1 year ago. It has now been completely stripped of parts, undercoating has been removed and most of the paint. I will sometime this year or next year have the entire car dipped in acid at www.bs-teknikk.no to remove every bit of rust and paint, before replacing most of the sheetmetal in the rear section. More info to come when I start working on it :)
-
Er þetta sparsl eða grunnur :shock:
-
Sælir félagar. :)
Þetta kallast stálgrunnur, enda var ég búinn að vinna skelina nánast alla inn í járn þegar ég seldi bílinn, og það var ekkert spartsl eftir í honum.
Við sprautuðum grunni yfir bílinn þegar þeir komu frá Noregi til að sækja hann.
Kv.

Finally started working on the fastback. First thing to do was to set it up in a homemade jig so it won't move while working on it, and to get the car level. I originally planned to have it chemically stripped, but the company offering this service went out of business, so I'll use a grinder/sander, and do some careful sandblasting where I won't reach with the grinder.
Started with cutting out the LH rear framerail, and the LH rocker panel. I have all new sheetmetal from Dynacorn to replace the old. When I tried to install the complete rocker from Dynacorn, I learned it was so badly shaped that it would take a lot of massaging to get it to fit, so new outer rockers from American Design has been ordered. I personally prefer sheetmetal from Dynacorn, and try to stay away from American Design because of their "universal fit", but they supposedly have better shaped rockers than Dynacorn, so I will let them in for now.
This is where I'm at today, I'm picking up the new rockers on Thursday, and hopefully I can put them in soon.

Hi Jan.
Nice to some action on the olde one. =D>
And you got a mail.
Hálfdán.

hei Jan. Kjekkt å sjå denne få et nytt liv :) hold oss opdater med masse bilder..

Picked up those new rockers a while ago, but they were not much better, still too wide and the upper profile didn't match at all. The rockers were not an American Design, but another Taiwan product. However, the stamping was much better than the Dynacorns, corners were sharp and crisp, too bad they don't fit.
So the solution was to use the original upper profile (what was left of it) and blend it into the lower and inner Dynacorn rocker panel. It was a huge job, but it fits much better now I think. Still not completely done with the welding, but I'm not in a hurry :)
Also had to level up the car again, this time with a digital level gauge. Now it is 100% level :)
-
New rear framerails. Original plan was to replace only the left one because of damage, but decided at a later time to also replace the right side. Both are Dynacorn and seems to be of very good quality.
-
Good job, didn't think the car needed to be this much restored when it was here in Iceland. Good luck! =D>
-
Great craftsmanship,I agree with Moli it didn't look like it needed that much work,thanks for keeping us posted.

You're both right, it actually don't need all that sheetmetal replaced, but there are bits and pieces here and there that needs to be repaired, and instead of patching up the car and at the same time trying to clean up years of dirt and rust inside every nook and cranny, I'd rather replace the entire part. It's also good to have a solid strong base to weld on. I order all the new parts directly from USA myself, so cost is kept low.
I'll continue the restoration next year, in the meantime;
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year :))))
-
merry christmas and good luck with the car hope it will be as fun driving it as all the other classic mustangs :)
-
Both rear frame rails are in, and the rear shock crossmember and transition floor are being prepared for welding. I am going to box the frame rails and crossmember before welding on the floor, to make it stronger.

Sælir félagar. :)
Hi Jan.
Grate to se the ol' pony get this restoration.

Didn't get to do as much work on the FB this summer as planned, but a little is better than nothing :)
The shock crossmember has been boxed for strength. Next is boxing the rear framerails.
-
Hi Jan.
Grate to see that everything is koming along.

Great to be able to see how this project is going along after the car has left the country... =D>

Nice work man,
keep it up!
Is it gonna be a Drag or just a sunday cruiser car?

I will probably build it more like a Pro-Touring car. Time will tell 8-)
-
Finally got around to do some work on the FB again, after a long time installing a complete TCP suspension setup on a friends '70 Mustang.
I removed the rest of the main floor, boxed the frame rails where the transition pan will sit, did some rust repair on the LH rear window corner support, removed the LH wheelhouse and quarter panel. The inner wheelhouse will be widened by about 1-3/4" to accommodate wider wheels.
I initially wanted to keep the original quarter panels, although they have quite a lot of small dents in them, but after test-fitting the new quarter panel skin from AP, I found it to be a near perfect fit, so I have decided to replace them.
-
Looks great! 8-)
-
Driver side rear wheelhouse have been widened, but not yet installed. I replaced the driver side B-pillar with new ones from Dynacorn. These are for coupe/conv. only, but can be used on fastbacks with minor modifications. I chose to replace this one as the original were heavily rusted. While waiting for the new parts to come in, I removed the firewall too, as this was rusted and in bad shape. It had also been repaired in the past but not to my standards. So I will replace this for a new one from Dynacorn. Before installing the new wall, I wanted to have torque boxes upfront.

Rust keeps appearing here and there, and I don't like having lots of rust in between panels, so the panels will have to come off and be repaired, and welded back to the car. I also removed the cowl to have it stripped for rust and paint inside out. I removed the dashpanel at the same time to better gain access to the firewall and cowl side area.
I had the cowl in a mixture of water and a rust removing agent which are expensive, but popular here in Norway, it was soaking in there for two weeks almost, but it didn't do much for the rust, and I have had much better luck with molasses and water (the cheap, smelly way), so the panels will be soaked into that for another week.
With the cowl and dash away, I was able to remove the driver side cowl side panel and replace it with a new one. I also had to remove the rear lower window panel due to rust, repaired a new section to the panel and welded it back to the car.

Well done on this restoreation keep the progress up like that and you will have a classy mustang in few years
-
Some updated photos of the lower cowl. I drilled out all of the spotwelds and removed all the parts, some of the parts as well as the cowl panel needed some TLC before priming. After the repair and a bath in the molasses and water, I used a wire wheel on the grinder to prepare it for paint. The grey stuff is self-etching primer, then the black epoxy primer is sprayed on.
-
Still Rollin'.
Had to get into the thinking box about what I should do with the frontend. Unfortunately there were a few issues with it, one of them being the inner fenders were overlapping the shock towers on the outside, and not the inside like original.
I have always thought the 65-66 shock towers look bulky, and I really wanted to have more engine compartment space like the 67-70 Mustangs, so I made a desiscion to replace the shock towers with the ones from 1970. This way I also solved the issue with the fender/shock tower overlapping.
Then came another issue; the frame rails were to narrow for the new shock towers. After a long time of thinking and measuring, I ended up with replacing both frame rails for the Dynacorn version. They are made for '69-70 models, but will fit 65-68 too. Inner fenders were also replaced for the new 1-piece from Dynacorn, and made to fit around the new shock towers.

Excellent work, what motor/trans is going in it?

var þessi bíll svona illa farinn reindar er hann heill meðað við aldur var hann ekki sammt búin að standa inni skúr í uppgerð i 20 eða 30 ár var hann kanski bara i geymslu
-
Sælir félagar. :)
Nei bíllinn var alls ekki svona illa farinn, þetta er bara spurning um hversu mikið þú vilt endurnýja.
Gólf og sílsar voru til að mynda ryðlaus.
Framendann þurfti alls ekki að taka af þar sem ég var tiltölulega ný-búinn að láta setja hann á hjá fagmanni og var það gert í bekk með öllum málum frá Ford og Autorobot.
En þetta kemur alltaf að því sama og það er hversu mikið vill viðkomandi eigandi gera.
Þegar ég seldi bílinn 2009, þá var ég tiltölulega nýbyrjaður að gera hann upp eftir rúm 20 ár í geymslu en ég lagði honum 1984.
Bæði afturbrettin höfðu til að mynda verið ryðbætt hjá mér og það sá ekkert á þeirri vinnu og voru þau að mér sýndist á myndum vera alveg ryðlaus.
Málið er að bíllinn verður super góður þegar hann er tilbúinn með hann, hvort hann hefur skipt um of mikið eða ekki þá finnst honum það örugglega ekki en ég hefði látið það sem heilt var halda sér. :wink:

Excellent work, what motor/trans is going in it?
I have not made any desicion yet about the trans and engine, but it will most likely be manual trans with a small-block stroker.
-
It's like Hálfdán says, I didn't really needed to replace the entire frontend, that was just a personal desicion. If I had kept the '65 frontend how-ever, a few issues would have needed to be corrected, one of them being the fender/shock tower overlapping. That alone would be a major job. Another major issue was the spacing between the rear inner fenders, they were about 1" too far apart, and I know that would cause a problem when the hood and hood hinges were to be installed, because I have the exact same issue with my '65 HT. Someone have replaced the inner fenders at some point and just got it wrong. I have worn out those stock hood hinges a lot, and when I installed the billet hood hinges from Eddie Motorsport it just didn't fit the hood. I ended up using a 1/2" spacer between each hood hinge and fender.
So these two issues was the reason why I decided to replace the frontend rather than trying to fix it.
With that said, just understand that I have absolutely no hard feelings towards anyone about these issues, I like this kind of work because it helps me learn more about working with the metal. I also knew I wanted to do something with those bulky shock towers anyway.
-
Hmm, almost a full year since last post.
Still working on it, but it's been sitting for a few months now because I am doing a makeover on my '65 coupe.
But here is what I did on it the last year: The last rear wheelhouse installed, right/left trunkfloor tailored to fit around the widened wheelhousings, transition pan installed, everything in the rear-end removed. The B-pillars/roof behind the quarter panels were heavily rusted out, had to fix that. Quarter panel extension are very rusted too, have to fix those. I am fixing the original extension as I think the repros are not good replacements. New quarter panels will be installed, but the original lower rear window panel and the taillite panel will be fixed and reinstalled.

Nice work! =D>

The project have been standing still for a year now because of other things to do, but I started up again a few days before christmas last year and now I am on a roll. There was, and still are, a lot of issues with the repro quarter panels. They didn't fit right towards the C-pillar, the upper "beam" on the sail panel was too narrow, so I had to cut out the beam and replace them with another set from a different vendor. QP didn't fit towards the QP extensions, the trunk lid, the tailight panel, the valance panel, the trunk floor, and they sure don't fit against the outer wheelhousing. Still have to adress the fit to the wheelhousings and trunk lid, but it's coming together quite nice now, and I guess I'll be ready to weld up the rearend towards the summer (waiting for hotter weather so I can put some epoxy primer on before welding QPs).
