Getting ready to purchase some new heads for the project 72. Is there a difference for left and right side? Edelbrock 60369 is what I am running with. Do I just order 2 of these from Summit? Here is the link: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-60369/ Will these be a nice improvement in HP...

I was curious if anyone has tried installing an under dash air conditioning system in a 71-73. It looks like it could work if the vent system was installed under the passenger side just below the glovebox. Obviously this is not original but aesthetics aside... It could be a viable option. If...

After many months of hard work and fun times I can finally call this project complete! I wanted to give a complete tour of the interior restoration. I also wanted to give a special thanks to Don over at OMS for helping me out with the missing parts I needed to get this sucker complete! This...

Thanks marks73. My whole point of doing this 3/4 resto is to do the work myself and learn learn learn. I want to get dirty with this thing, I want to have mysteries to solve and I don't always want it to be easy. Nothing with while is ever easy. It'll mean a whole hell of a lot more when I can...

Special thanks to everyone on this forum for the advice and knowledge. I am really happy that this resource is here for guys like me trying to learn. I spoke with my local machine shop here in your and they told me that they could machine the entire block, deck it (if needed) and install cam...

I'm a beginner at engine building so I'm going to need some assistance from the community. I decided to tackle the engine rebuild and need some advice from the community. On start, the motor smokes for quite a while. Is this the rings? It also has developed a tap tap tap noise when its running...

Hello friends, was wondering if anyone knew of an alternative source to get an air conditioning kit besides classic auto air. Their complete kit is a whopping $1500. No trying to be a cheapskate but I was wondering if anyone has had success with an alternate option? All feedback is appreciated...

Upholstery Project HALTED! Drivers Side Seat Frame CRACKED! Need Help. Well, the title says it all on this one. After upholstering the passenger seat, I decided to move onto the drivers side seat. I dismantled the seat, removed the existing upholstery and foam and lo and behold the discovery of...

A BIG thank you goes out to Don @ Ohio Mustang Supply for helping me order the proper MADE IN THE USA seat form for the front seats. I learned that there are many inferior seat foams out there but only Don can get the stuff by Distinctive Industries thats made in the USA. While the new front...

Thanks a bunch guys!!! I just posted the other video and the rest of the pics from the lower half!

Cool! I am getting ready to post up the photos of the lower rear seat... This was a bit more challenging because they do not make the molded foam for the rear seat. I was at the mercy of making my own and have a few tips on thickness etc. I'll get those photos and update my blog ASAP on this...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the positive feedback! It looks and feels very nice. Will post photos of the lower half soon! Turning out nice!

The package from Distinctive Industries has finally arrived containing the much awaited full upholstery set from the front and back seats. I was very surprised to find out that this upholstery is manufactured in the good ol’ U.S.A! That fact alone gave me a great feeling when installing this...

The sail panels for the Mustang have arrived from CJ Pony Parts and are exceptional quality. Although I was able to purchase the upper sail panels, the lower sail panels or lower quarter covers are unavailable for purchase, so I had to fabricate them from scratch. All things considered, I’d say...

Good point... I am using rustolium flat b paint after wire brushing most of the nasty rust off of the frames. I will take your advice on the front seats moving forward. Thx for the tip. I am always open for suggestions and never claim that "I know everything" thx for the advice Q
