I purchased the NPD spoiler. It worked out great. When I installed it, with both torsion bars, I could not get it to stay open. It had worked fine before I installed the spoiler. The torsion bars seemed to go in easy enough - not a big deal. It struck me, could they be installed...

We made it to Ponies in the Smokies and got the obligatory picture of the Rickster at the wall near Quaker Steak and Lube. There were over 1000 mustangs at the show, and it seemed like 80% or more were 2010 and newer. There were a few 71-73 Mustangs, though. At PITS, they give out...

Welcome fromthe Tri-Cities up in NE Tennessee. Post up some pics of you projects and tell us more about them. As a UGA grad I am thinking you should paint one red and one black. :)

So Brian, will you be going this year?

Welcome from the Tri-Cities in NE Tennessee. That's a really nice looking Grande. Can you tell us more about it, and yourself? Is it an original survivor, or restored? We're a curious lot, around here.

It's about an hour and a half drive for me, so not too bad. I've wanted to go for the last few years, but something has always come up. Now that the Rickster is done, I've got a great excuse to go, and so I am. I hope to see you there, 72MustangSprint.

Ponies in the Smokies is only a couple weeks away, and I was wondering if anyone else is going? I'm a complete novice when it comes to car shows, but I've entered the Rickster in the show just to see how it might do. I'll be there for several days, so if any of you are heading to Sevierville...

I got my windshield from Classic Industries, but beware, the rear view mirror button will be lower. I got my headliner from TMI Products. It fit perfectly and although it took some patience, it wound up looking perfect. I used Kilmat instead of dynomat, and then installed the felt syle...

Years ago, I was looking for a 351W to put in my 86 F150 project. I had mentioned it to my brother, Rick, while chatting one day. A week later he calls me and tells me I owe him $200 and I need to come get my motor. He had to get it out of his truck bed, as he was going to be leaving the...

Just kind of thinking out loud here, but you could use the 10 second delay relay to trigger a second relay wired so that it turns off the current to the light when activated.

It's essentially a 1995 Camaro Z28 with a Mustang body. It's got the Z28 front K-member, engine, trans, torque arm and rear end. Except for the sheet metal, not much Mustang left there. It looks like an older build and the peoples choice award from 2003 would support it being a 20 yr old...

The cheater lenses do work, really well. I had some in my Miller Digital Elite that I used for years. I wear progressive lenses and looking through the upper portion I couldn't focus when close enough to see the puddle. The cheater lenses really did the trick for that. I have since upgraded...

I found this on Facebook Marketplace. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1371227946742930/ I don't need anything, but I saw he had interior quarters and fold down rear seats that folks are often looking for. Maybe it will help someone out.

Hemikiller is right!!! Test fit everything before welding it in place. Clecos, tek screws and clamping pliers are your friend when replacing sheet metal. I found that my quarter panel rear extensions didn't really fit my quarters very well, and had to do some work on the quarters to get...

I used Dynacorn rear quarters. If I recall correctly, the inner and outer wheel houses were CJ Classic from CJ Pony Parts. They Dynacorn quarters fit pretty well. The wheelhouses required some significant tweaking, but I was able to make them work. Not sure about who makes them, but it seems...
