Well, I came up with a plan. The car will be done in "stages". Stage 1 will be fixing all of the minor rust areas on the inner structure that attach to the main floor sections. Fender wells, inner cowl panel, kick panel areas, trunk surround, rear scuttle areas, outer rockers, and any...

How does the b-pillar on the coupe/convertibles differ from the fastbacks? I see that the fastback panels aren't available.

Thanks for the responses, guys. I'm not planning on giving up on this thing! My uncle is funding this project, and my cousins and I are doing the work. We have to analyse the costs, and come up with some numbers for him, so as long as he's cool with it then we're cool with it. With the fact...

With regards to fitting sections piece by piece, is this diagram reliable enough to go from? I definitely don't have access to a car for measurements, and I don't trust my car. It looks like enough critical dimensions to go off of, but I don't like the fact that the floor is the datum. I don't...

Thanks for the reply! It's good to hear that Dynacorn is reliable. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to replace the rockers. Other than some localized damage toward the rear wheel well, the insides are pretty rust-free. The frame rails are another story. The left rear rail had been very poorly...

This brings us to the past couple of weeks, and the reason for the thread's title. I have a few questions too... Is there anywhere I can get full dimensions for the chassis? I've seen a basic diagram, but nothing more. As for quality of parts, is it just safer to go with Dynacorn for everything...

Continuing the disassembly I pulled a valve cover and the engine is shockingly clean inside... I'm thinking the engine was actually rebuilt sometime close to when the car was stored Things weren't looking too great... this is the passenger shock tower. Cracked and patched by a crackhead

We got to work, building the workspace. We needed to build walls, it was too depressing and dark in there 12' sliding door We painted the room and had some wall mounted lights installed, it made a huge difference and really made it nice to work in there. We got started tearing the car apart...

I've been looking around for a good place to post progress and get some much needed info for this build. Looks like this is the right place! The car is a 1965 Fastback, 289 C4, not many options. Came from my great aunt in Long Island where it sat, rotting, for many years. My cousins and I...

Here's mine... it's not looking too good guys...

Just introducing myself here. New guy from Quebec, Canada. I'm familiar with a couple of other forums, but am new to Stangnet. So far it looks pretty good, with a nice variety of cars. Much time will be wasted. Looking forward to posting, and hopefully I'll have some updates on my Capri this...
