Designing and Building a Classic Mustang Body Jig - Part 2 | Mustang frame jig | Mustang chassis jig

This video is part 2 in a series of videos I am doing on designing & building a body jig for a Classic Ford Mustang, also sometimes called a chassis jig, or frame jig. Body jig is probably the most accurate as the Mustang does not have a frame, it is Unibody construction. The purpose of the body jig is to keep the important locating points of the body where they are supposed to be as you cut out rusty metal out to replace it.

The main frame of the Jig is going to be built out of 2"x4" rectangular tubing. Four swivel casters will allow it to be moved as needed, and when set up it will stand on 8 - 2"x2" tubing legs with leveling feet. Each of the mounting brackets / supports will be made from 2"x2" square tubing and have 2"x1/4" 'feet' that will get clamped to the top of the main frame .

In this video I am fabricating the first two attachments for the body jig. The first attachment is located at the ‘2X’ location on the Liskey drawing for The 64 - 65 Ford Mustang. This location is under the front frame rail extensions where the firewall transitions from angled to parallel to the ground. The second attachment is at the ‘3X’ location. This location is the leaf spring front mounting bolt hole. If you do a search for “65 Mustang Liskey drawing’ you will find plenty of examples of the drawing. Also note, there is much discussion on the accuracy of a few of the measurements listed on that drawing.

If you have any questions or comments, leave them below and I will do my best to answer them!
