Sorry I’m a big dummy. My phone is an iPhone. I’ll keep looking . I think I figured it out. I’ll post some pics starting with the first ones...of my mustang “truck” project and keep putting pics as time goes by thanks!

Well, that looks interesting. What's the end goal with this? Brings the old adage to mind, just because we can build it, doesn't me we should. LOL.... Looks like a fun project.

Scramblr....it gives me something to do lol. I’ve built 2 award winning street-rods and always wanted a Mustang and this one was rear-ended so I hated to see it wasted plus I wanted the sheet metal experience. Geese what a job!

Most of these pics the car’s on jack stands. I lowered the suspension 2” but you can’t tell now.

Hate to see an S197 tore up like that, but damn those welding skills are impressive. Look forward to the final stages.

Deathstang I know what you mean. When I bought it, it was already wrecked (rear-ended badly) plus the front right side was smashed so I just “dug-in” for the long haul lol. Testing my skills and patience for sure.

Didn't think about wrecked cars, suppose there wasn't any saving it back to original without some serious money and time dumped into it so why not go custom? Though the engine appears to be a 4.0, why do all that work on that platform?

Looks like it will be a good bit shorter than a stock S197? Why such a short rear bed?
