Awesome. I've done a bunch to mine lately, I'll update my thread soon, but it's been very messy work...

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)

So today has been a nice adventure! I got up this morning and went to work.. Decided I would use the sawzall to cut away the rear floor so I could avoid cutting the fuel line...I FAILED! Cut the fuel line and had to cut about a 7 inch piece of it out and replace it with rubber line. After that I cut away a piece of floor panel I had left from my truck and bent it into shape to fix the cutout. It wasnt perfect and went in ok but it worked. I welded it in and then tested fitted the bottom of the rear seat to make sure I did a good enough job that it would still fit. SUCCESS!!!! The panel is also pretty flush against the old sheet metal underneath so I thought it went ok.. It was just a royal pain in my butt making my own bents and hammering her into place.

So here is my question... Do I hit it with Rust Encapsulation first then seam sealer or seam sealer then rust encapsulation? Im leaning toward Rust Encapsulation first then seam sealer

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)

Rust encapsulator then sealer, that way ALL the metal is covered, then the water is sealed out.

let it dry a couple days though... it seems to still be tacky for a day or so.

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)

Good so far. Been spending time with the wife and friends. I wanted to have the car running by sat. but the stripped cross member bolt put a stop to that. I fired it up anyway. Should have that fixed tomorrow. I want it off the damn jack stands and doing a burnout!

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)

Yeah, so the PO of this car sucks! Nothing apparently was done right. I kinda knew it was coming but I removed the aluminum sheets that were riveted and glued down in the rear...and yeah...I have a lot more cutting and welding to do

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)

I know it looks bad, but it's really not as bad as it could be. I looked at over 30 cars before I bought mine (no joke, about 20 were at the charlotte autofair, but the rest were all craigslist disappointments) and you wouldn't believe the stuff I found, it got to the point I stopped "telling" the owner and just walk. I'm so happy with my car, it's like I won the California rust free lottery with it (but I paid for it too!!!)

It's not as bad as it could be

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)

The trunk has some bare metal and surface rust on it so I just sanded it off and hit it with self etching and then the whole trunk with some high build after cleaning it. It isnt solid and is cloudy but it will get there and it more protected. Im concerned though, as rust around the bad seal and a hole or too..

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)

Well its been a while since i managed to touch the mustang other then to just start her up but i managed to pop out the rear window and work on the rusted bit. All and all it wasn't too bad...I just put most of it down to bare metal and then coated it with encapsulator. 2 of the trim studs are busted in and are holes and then the drivers side corner and a glob of Bondo i popped back out and found another hole.
