How to Build a Mustang for CHEAP: 1968 Mustang

That was awesome...as always...He stepped up his game with that one...Bravo

This is a great restomode on a coupe. I really like what Gilles Rochon did to this car. Aside from the thorough restoration of the body, it's his personal touches that take this basic coupe to a whole new level. This coupe has style and class. Great job Gilles. Max you did it again! Your production values just keep going up with every segment. You just keep hitting it further out of the park every time. Got to get you out one Friday evening. 👍👍

You big hosers embody every stereotype (positive) of Canadians we have down here in the US ... two super nice guys showing us a REALLY cool car. Thanks. How about we go get some poutine and Molson now, eh?

I've got my 68, traded a guy my 2017 indian scout for it. It's a bit of a frankenstein - 351w from a bronco, suspension retrofitted from a 2001 V6 mustang, 7.5 rear from the same 01 mustang, drive shaft from the bronco, original transmission... It's been fun to figure it out. Planning on putting a sniper 2 efi system in next weekend, all the parts came in yesterday. After EFI and hyperspark, i plan on re-doing the interior. The guy i bought it from was a young 20s guy, used it for burnouts and a rolling hot box for him and his friends, still have the smell 2 years later.

Awesome looking...everything I want except I really like the old school Torque Thrust wheels...

Drum Brakes. FTW!!!

Great episode! Loved all the valuable information and the walk through awesome build Gilles!

Awesome episode 👌beau travail Gilles...love the drone work! sweet car lol@ Only Little Boys wear Bowties

Where did you get the trunk spoiler and 2 end caps ?

Great video. I tried to go to your website site, but it doesn’t seem operational? Do you have links for Gilles? Years ago I had a ‘68 coupe, and I’d love to get my hands on another one 😉

The numbers matching thing I feel should be more niche.. I feel more of these should be restored for safety rather than originality because we should actually want to DRIVE them.. it’s all about the awesome body and old school interior.. if it’s got disc brakes and a safer frame nothing should be wrong with it.

Thats my dream car

Engine is blowing smoke too...need to do some touches

Did you buy ifs kit? Or make the bits?

I highly doubt you got 435 horse power out of a stock bottom end 351 with GT40 heads on it. You may have gotten 350 to 375 maybe 400 but I am not to sure about the 400 HP. Ford 302/351 were not the easiest motors to get horse power out unfortunately. Granted I could be wrong but I don't think I am because I had a 302 that I bored to a 306 or 8 not certain on that and put all light weight pistons and rods and then had it balanced then a used weiand stealth open plain intake then and sometimes a dual plain intake with a 750 holly double pumper carb and I don't think I crack 400 and if I did it was not by much. My only positive was the ability to hit my max RPM range quicker. Oh I also ran a set of Trick Flow heads and a Trick Flow cam that was spec for my engine set up. I tried the ford racing X cam and couple others and they did ok but no where near as good as the trick flow cam did. This was 15 years ago and back then that was a damn good and fast way to spend about $6000 TO $8000 bucks in a hurry.

What’s considered cheap ? Hahaha. I have a 68 and as I’m shopping for upgrades it seems to add up very quickly .

351 cleveland would blow the socks off of it.

Everything is good except the console. Looks underdesigned and needs more detail.

Car…drink🥴
