'65 2+2 Fastback Purchase

95Convert · 03-16-2002, 09:47 PM

Okay guys, I have a chance to pick up a '65 2+2 for $1500 bucks. The car is currently disassembled, but the owner has all the parts. It was originally a 289-4bbl/4speed. The original motor was replaced many years ago by another 289 (No big deal I was looking for numbers matching ride anyway) I inspected the body for rust in all the places those cars are prone to it, and found none, except on the rear quarter panels.

Here's my question. If I am going to restomod this car, how much will a body shop charge me to replace the sheet metal on both rear quarter panels?

The price is going to depend on where you live.

Also, how bad the rust is....can it be patched?? How big of a patch?? Where the patch is?? Does it go into the wheel house and inner panels??

Or does it need complete new quarters??

Best to get a fellow mustanger and ask him what shops work on older mustangs. Yes, there are many shops that won't work on older cars. ie mustangs.
