FYI Chuck is now on Hospice. He called me just to thank me again and said. "That getting his car done was one of the best gifts he had ever gotten". He was able to drive the car for a whole year. Now he has sold it to a friend who is taking good care of it and enjoying it for years to come. If I did not take over the project it would have never gotten done. Did the car in 5 weeks thanks to Chris Lopez who did a lot of the work and reassembly. We carefully spaced out the corner sections so they wont Chip like they usually do. put in all new rubber. Chuck did make a large donation that covered all the cost and parts and a bit for my time FYI. The look on his face and the tears in his eyes were PRICELESS when he came to see it.
I'm glad he got to enjoy it !!
@@mattstick1man563 Me too man he is a good guy. We didnt know it till I was working on his car but we used to ride Road Bicycles in the same group in the 80s.
That so Cool !!
My late dad had Parkinsons. You have done a nice thing putting your own time into this for Chuck. As we get older time becomes a bitch as it runs away from you .
I don't know you, but you probably know my friend Robert, VW guys always good people.... I think Parkinson is a result of unchecked Lyme Disease, as well some other diseases, Lyme is not fully understood nor does the medical community check for as it should be properly diagnosed, the CDC guidelines are not set up like they should be so doctors follow their protocol which is flawed, this is how it frequently goes unchecked by the medical community. With proper treatment people may recover from this terrible condition. Your a great person, if I could help your friend I would as you have done here. It might be to late for your friend, but it's reason to make everyone aware, Lyme is not just a east coast, or mid-west thing, it's becoming a more and more a west coast thin now everyday. You are a saint taking care of that for him, and no good deed should go without respect, respect!
As a man with MS for 30 years, you guys are tops, I know that feeling of “my time for doing stuff can come to end any day”, MS at least gives you periods of remission, which are a blessing, and a curse, as it leads to a false sense of security. I’ve been stable for 15 or so years, but the first 5 years, I thought I was toast, lost my ability to walk, ski, workout, but now doing them all again, although not like when I was 25. All of this due to a motorcycle accident in 1989, where I shattered my leg, and the stress to my body caused this autoimmune response. No more motorcycles, although my twin’s Road King is sitting in my driveway, I instead do all my own work on my Jeep Wranglers, which each year becoming slightly more difficult. The MS has stabilized, but is very slow moving, and I am often reminded to “slow down Paulie, I’m here, and you best never forget that”. Anyway, great work, you guys are the best. Getting a 1966 Mustang (my year of birth) is one of my bucket list items, sitting next to a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, but my 2010 JK Rubicon and 2016 JKU Sahara will fill that void for now.
The car is a ‘65. Fabulous job. My own ‘65 is waiting to be restored as well.
Oh yea it is 64.5 to 66 look pretty much the same.
Hello there Mike, you did a good thing here... My had multiple mustangs, and his prized 47 Ford street Rod, I got my automotive education from building these cars with him. When was diagnosed with cancer, we were fortunate enough, to have some really great additional moments, when friends from our car club, came and built him a wheelchair ramp, and many other tasks to help him and my stepmom.. Thanks for sharing your efforts here.. God bless....PS, I'm sorry the few crack pots, with their critiques about specs it the paint, or minor assembly crap.. It's a nice build all the way around.
Mike that was a lovely thing to do for a friend in need 👍🏻 Your a top guy 😀🏴
He's a very fortunate man to have friends like you. Cars well done, a real stunner.
Nice of you to help a friend out. Sorry he isn't doing well. At least he got to enjoy for a year. Looks great!!
Amazing car. I own my grandpas 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1. He left it to me before he passed. I restored it to factory, with the original blue paint that he had put on it back in 1974. Keep up the good work man. 👍🏻
G'day,
Kevin here from Australia.
Looks awesome nice ride. But what you said about driving it. So true, don't just restore them to look at . Drive them enjoy. Let kids sit in them and dream.
That's what it's all about guys.
Anyhoo thanks for sharing you stay safe and healthy.
✌🏻 Peace.
He got one year out of it until he had to give up his license. So happy. otherwise it would have never gotten done.
23 right now, my dad will turn 64 this year. He still has his 1967 Mustang Coupe in factory Lime Gold with original stickers from the lot. All original. It’s been in our garage for my whole life. I’m starting on it this week. Amen! GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸 thanks for the video!
try to keep it original. I would not paint it unless it is totally rusty. If it has been in the garage all that time, it would be worth more if you keep it original paint and not restore it. Just do a preservation. Clean it up and drive it with the original patina.
@@Mikefngarage thanks Mike. Appreciate the tips. Just got her out in the driveway yesterday for a bath and vacuum. I’m taking it slow, and full restoration isn’t really the plan. I just want my dad to be able to enjoy his first ever again with mom any brother and I. We’re trying to keep the paint intact and see what we can do about the engine wiring etc. appreciate the feedback brother!
My dad left me a 67 to finish. Good look with yours.
@@daddy3d1972 thanks man! You too!
I have this car, it was my dad's. It's my dream to make it look like that. You are an awesome guy to do that for Chuck.
Mike, you used your amazing skills to do something beautiful. And that’s better than any real paying job or job you do for yourself.
How can one guy dislike this video!!!! WTH???
There is someone who dislikes every video. channel hater. Happens in the first 100 views usually
@@Mikefngarage Mike I don’t know you personally. I enjoy your videos and you seem to be a pretty nice guy Keep up the great work you got a fan in Florida.
Dude you just gor brownie points for heaven. Beautiful resto
wow...this car is a dream but i also love the old VWs too.
You do amazing jobs, really.
FYI guys who were wondering All the block sanding was done with a DA very little done by hand no long boards....do you see any waves?
Amazing work skills, achieving finish like that.
Heard you say how you would be broke and poor..I hear that. I've been working in a body shop. But im.never going to make a living doing what I love. So.im about to apply at a factory. For a real.paying job. I totally agree with everything you say in your videos. Im.a fitze fan also. I'm not as patient as him either.
Mustang looks real.good. remember how old and how many people have worked on that car. The shop I just left has a 74 vette that I spent many hours doing body work and block sanding primer. No money in it at all. I also hate corvettes. Lol
Cheers from.the white mountains in northern Newhampshire
Yea that is what I realized when I was in my early 20s. I started restoring and selling stuff after work. Then stopped for many years. Decided to work on them for youtube for retirement. Do some side work and video it. eventually I figure it will pay the bills. I still work about 3 months or so of the year and make good money at my business to support my hobby which is making these videos and restoring the cars. Squeezing that Mustang in was really hard to do.( few years back) I really did not have the time to do like the quarter line up but the paint turned out great.
@@Mikefngarage that's great info. I'm 46 and majored in autobody in a tech high-school. I've been restoring/repairing a plow truck just for the fun of it. I love my harbor freight welder also. 👍😎
PRETTY DAM SWEET COUPE O YA MAN 😮
yea it is still around here at some shows. Chuck drove it for a year until he could not drive anymore. Loved it. Says it was the best thing anyone has done for him.
Nice work Mike. I drove the same type of Mustang in the Sixties in The Netherlands, to be precisely Amsterdam and also a later Model Great Cars at the time. Greetings HCS.🇳🇴
I’d like to see more or the actual restoration process! I kind of felt like this was 20 minute walk around caressing different car parts. Beautiful car though!
This is great Mike! You skills and approach to the car hobby are fantastic. I check your videos all the time. Thanks again!!🎩🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸🎩
Car looks great. Loved the video.
Nice good job
Thanks
Was such a perfect looking, handsome car, even in this day and age, would be great, if they did something similar to Chrysler/dodge with the Challenger, where the new model resembles the model from the 60s/70s.
Please do my mustang next !
It looked fabulous mate and enjoyed this vid
Thanks 👍
Another beautiful job man.
Your a good friend Mike!
Beautiful car. Love the color.
Wow Mike, that looks AMAZING !! Your friend is going to be really happy to see his baby all finished and ready to drive. I can't make it to the car show but could you please post a video of it, we'd love to see your friend in his new ride. ✌️&💙
yea I did this car a few years back just put all the videos together into one video. He was able to drive the car for 1 year which made him very happy. Totally shocked when he got the first look at it. He sold it to a friend and its is still around. He is on hospice now.
Very nice good job
Too Cool Mike.....Too Cool!!!!
Turned out beautiful! Do you have any videos of doing the center stripe?
Wow; this was some time ago, I am guessing. I really like the paint coverage you achieved, especially in nooks and crannies. It ensures that the metal is protected for many years to come; especially if the car is stored properly and driven in good weather.
BEAUTIFUL BUILD! What did you use for a guideline for your GT rocker stripe location?
I just figured where they should be. I didnt have a guide for that.
Great video and great story. I love the color and would like to paint mine the same color. I have trying to find the paint code but have not been successful. Can you tell me what color it is who made it and what the paint code is
I also have some original rubber floor mats that need something ? ? To improve the look, have you found anything that works ?
just scrub them with a brush stiff bristle. maybe some of that superclean. I forget what I used.
What grill is that?
Very nice job where do you have your shop I have a 1965 ford mustang fast back I need body's shop job. Thank you have a wonderful afternoon
😳👍🏼
Mine's the same green
How long did it actually take you to do these
2 of us worked on the car for 5 to 6 weeks. every day. did the carpet headliner put in the glass (had a glass guy do the front and back windows and moldings .
@@Mikefngarage, great job big Mike, looks brand new
Beautiful car , until you put the stripes on, but that's just me. Great work.
yea it is what he wanted. and he wanted them done a special way. there are specified widths. like 9.5 in the front then 10 at the windshield. and back narrow in the back. Too bad I wasnt filming that. And they were suppose to go all the way down to the valances. I talked him out of that. would have really looked weird on the front with that radiator opening.
Ifs would be nice
What color is that? It’s beautiful
darkest version of British racing green. came on Jag and some other Austin martins.
Thanks! Hope the owner gets well soon!!!
@@randytroxell4974 unfortunately the illness is terminal He is now on hospice. He was so thankful that he spend a whole year driving that car as much as he could. Nothing he has ever owned was as nice as that car was
Sorry to hear, I lost my dad to cancer in 2016, he was on hospice at home, the hospice people were very helpful
@@Mikefngarage That's the color of the Trim on my house, LOL, with the red cedar shingles and lighter green clapboards it looks awesome, love that color on a car too, especially Classic Mustangs, and MGB's!!
My Dad, I meant to say...
Looks like many bubbles in the paint or dust.
do some thing for those wiring looks like a rats nest.
WOW under the dash where you cant see it?????....good luck with that. all original wiring.
