Edstock Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 From AOL: Ford has officially added another model to the company's licensed reproduction steel body shells. Those looking to spin their own wrenches toward restoring a 1964 1/2, 1965 or 1966 Mustang Convertible can snap up a brand-new body from Dynacorn that uses higher-quality steel and more modern welding techniques than the originals. Even better, every last inch of the piece comes rustproofed straight from the factory. Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder when they'll start doing Fox body Mustangs? I would love to build a 93 coupe from the ground up with a brand new body using today's steel & welding techniques. The newest Fox Mustang is already over 18 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Jellymoulds Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) OOoooh if only the Mustang came with RHD together with a Cossie YB that would be automotive heaven, l would import a shell. Still there is a company about to start remanufacturing complete steel RWD Mk1 & Mk2 Escort body shells soon (you can buy compete Escort plastic shells but they are shit quality). They will sell the in 10's of thousands, they come built to a very high quality spec with fully zinc phosphated with an electrophoretic immersion coating as standard. Gotta say l will do a full nut and bolt restoration and reshell my Escort, if the Mustang does not turn up on UK shores come 2014.

630land Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 "64 and 1/2" = early 1965 models. What about the VIN # tags? Can owners get a waiver to remove from old body to attach to new shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends on your state. Before I even thought about buying, I would get, in writing, from the DMV on how to register that thing.

Mark B. Morrow Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) "64 and 1/2" = early 1965 models. What about the VIN # tags? Can owners get a waiver to remove from old body to attach to new shell? The new body would not be a '64 1/2 since the radiator core support lacks the louvers in front of the battery, unique to early Mustangs. '64 1/2 was never used by Ford as they had with the '63 1/2 Falcons and Galaxie fastbacks. All Mustangs from March 9, 1964 to the September start of "official" '65 productions are serialized as 1965's. The primary difference denoting '64 1/2s is the use of generator charging. Ford switched to alternators with the '65 model year. most of the other differences are cosmetic such as trim pieces, carpet, gas cap, headlight buckets and hood with drop down edges at the front. The trim differences sometimes appear on cars well into the '65 model year as the older style parts were used until the supplies were depleted. The Dynacorn bodies ship out from Leetsdale, PA right outside Pittsburgh. The '67-'68 fastback bodies are very nice. They run around $16k but it doesn't take very long to run up that kind of bill doing floors, rockers and quarter panels on a rusty one. I expect to see a '65-'66 fastback form Dynacorn soon.

630land Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Mainstream media is taking this out of proportion. Some think Ford Motor Company is making brand new 65's from ground up, not the small business with the licence. Seen Facebook posts of people asking where can I get one, I always wanted one, and not knowing its just the shell, not whole car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
