Dang I was worried you would say that

Removed the Stang's old gas tank. It started leaking last month. Draining it was scary. So is all the rust that's in it. I'll have to get back out there tomorrow. Do y'all think I should change out my fuel line too?

Welcome to the family! You are going to have a lot of fun with your vert. :)

Anyone remember Mustang Depot? Eons ago we got to go out and meet the owner who I'd chatted with a lot on the Stangnet forum. It was right cool.

Howdy Y'all, I need a new gas tank since after 8 years of little use the one in my 73 Stang developed a leak. I was stupid and so not know how many gallons of weirdness are in that old tank. I see a few different sources for new gas tanks for our year mustangs with a price range from $165 to...

I'm not that much of a dare devil any more. I have wondered if my 73 Mustang Convertible could be safer for my children to ride in or someday drive every day as I once did. There was a time when I worried that the person behind me wouldn't be able to break as fast as I could in an emergancy...

I am very interested in retrofitting an electric motor into my 73 Mustang Convertible. I am currently on my 5th engine, a 351W, and have personally driven over 170,000 miles in my mustang. :) I have always been about power and efficiency and you simply can not beat an electric motor as long as...

I went with a fiberglass 71 - 73 Mustang Mach-1 hood from http://www.carhoods.com/ I basically rivet and gorilla glued on some brackets so that I could use my existing hood hinges with lighter springs. It's been on the car and holding without issue for over a decade now. Wild to think I painted...

I have been just keeping an eye on the developing EV conversion market and what products are offered to retrofit an electrified drive train into something like my 73 Mustang Convertible. The Ford and GM eCrate motors are cool but for a big chunk o cash around $4000 and do not include the battery...

Mine were runner and always leaked

You are correct. That was not an option available from the factory. It's a combination of the high back seats and the height of the rear quarter panel thingy. lol
