Greg Hillyer of hillyersmustang takes on one of the boldest jobs in the classic Mustang hobby: cutting the roof off a 1966 coupe and welding on a fastback donor roof to create the far rarer, far more valuable body style. The payoff is huge, but so is the risk, because a wavy roofline or bad panel gap ruins everything. Watch to see how the welding and prep come together.
A fabricator named Greg tackles the rusted rear quarter of a 1967 Mustang coupe — the exact spot where these cars quietly rot themselves to death. It looks like simple bodywork, but the gap between ‘looks simple’ and ‘looks factory’ is where most restorations fall apart. This is the unglamorous metalwork that decides whether a classic lives or dies. Watch the craft behind a proper patch panel.
