"Peter Brock liked it" - Doug Kilian

Chopped and unique


Autokraft Nebraska's Doug Kilian and his mates reach out to put a Fastback roof on this 1968 Convertible. 
Exact measuring is the key and repeated control of any body measurements before doing the final cuts. 
Template alignment and measuring, measuring and measuring before cutting and welding is a must. 
Autokraft Nebraska seems to be a competent shop in doing so, so if your Mustang suffered a hurricane, overflooding or anything else desastrous in an accident or in the weeds, Autokraft might be a good address for you to save what is left and build another toy for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





They also built coupes into Fastbacks like the "Fast Coupe Project" You'd never think this was the worn out coupe from above before.

"I have been restoring Mustangs since I was 12,  now 44 I have done many and also have a very unique fox body Mustang. A 89 GT I bought new in Colorado and then chopped the top 3 inches hand built the qrts fenders etc, BMW headlamps and so on. you can post it if you like. Pete Brock really liked it. We do conversions and customs aside from typical restoration work on all kind of Mustangs. But I would like to point out that I do not take good up standing cars and converts, those are shells that were stripped out or left for dead by others and that would never have been restored. 

Here is how we built a Fastback from a 68 Coupe:


Starting with a 68 lower coupe body....



Autokraft also has a heart for the custom Mustang builder. See this project car. If you are thinking about some ideas, here is a Mustang maniac which might be able to help you.
