coupe to fastback?

66roxanne4sho · June 12th, 2007, 07:55 PM

I don't know if this question will piss ppl off or not, but since this is a modded mustang forum...i was wondering, is it possible to change a coupe to a fastback? i really like the fastback design and wanted to kno if i could or not. if i can, what all would need to be done? would it be more than just cutting and welding and strengthening the frame?

orangeRcode · June 13th, 2007, 01:19 AM

sorry thats just dumb

Its be done. We had a guy here that had a nice coupe, rusted out fastback, and the know how. He did just that. He made a his coupe a fastback. I would say unless you have those 3 things, I would not do it.

jason@gmachine · June 16th, 2007, 05:16 PM

i would do it, if you are going to be building a full race cage in it anyways!

you can cut the roof off to weld everything up, it will be alot easier!

CJPONYPARTS.com has all the parts you need to clone a fastback. Beenthere/dunthat.

Drick · June 17th, 2007, 07:31 PM

Its been done but with the time and money put into it it would be cheaper and less of a hassel to sell it and buy a fastback

460brevill · June 17th, 2007, 09:19 PM

dont know where you are from,but around here a fastback cost mega bucks.

aintsheperty66 · June 29th, 2007, 12:32 AM

don't understand why you would ruin a coupe to make a fastback...but it is possible...

69fastback · June 29th, 2007, 10:58 AM

Because fastbacks are the shiznit

aintsheperty66 · June 29th, 2007, 12:04 PM

i agree. but why mess up a coupe to make one? just buy a fastback. they are expensive, but its worth it in the long run. till then just keep your coupe lookin hott, like mine. haha.

I agree completely. I wouldn't do it.

When you do stuff like that, you destroy any classic/vintage value the car might have. The VIN no longer matches the body style of the car. I could even cause problems when transfering title in the future.
Just my $0.02
