Hi everyone..

My son darcy (6) inherited a 1965 coupe from his grandfather that past away in april.. we Stripped it down to a bare shell before he past away and its now on a spit.. Hope to learn a heap from eveyone on here.. the car is at the inlaws and will put some pics up over the next few days.. Any info or tips would be great.. never rebuilt a car from scratch before..

Cool, there are plenty of us out in the East and Sth East!
Just be thorough with ridding the body/underbody of tin cancer.
It's always better to replace bad metal with new metal and use minimal bondo (bog).
Take your time and be patient.
Ask for advice when you're not sure.
Most parts, panels, patch panels etc are readily available.:thumb:

The car does need some love but i have a few years to build it.. I needs new front floors, new cowl and maybe a front right rail.. we have new front guards, doors and rear guards if we need them but prob wont.. it was a complete car that started and ran.. It still had the original black interia.. we even found a recpit from 1970 under the back seat..lol..  will try to get pics as we go with the build..

Hi Aaron,

I'll add my welcome also !! :hi:

What I will also do is backup IGALOP's advice re: patience and care.  I know I have made mistakes by being far too impatient to get my car on the road.  For sure ask lots of questions and seek opinions from the experienced people here......

Hi 65coupe,

Welcome aboard...

Even though you're situated in Victoria, another port of call for all of your restoration parts is 'Hills Mustangs' at Seven Hills in NSW.

Give the guy's a call, as they're great to deal with and nothing's ever a hassle...

Michael: 0404 187 515

Brian: 0408 350 650


Cheers,

Trans-Am:cool:
