Really impressive what all you've done with the car in such a short amount of time! Where'd you get your seats? Are they comfortable?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I pulled the trigger on making my own grill. Wanted to see what you guys thought! I was inspired by The General Mayhem built by the guys from the show Roadkill pictured below. General Mayhem: I bought some metal from the local shop and cut it at work...

Has anyone ever seen rear window louvers on a coupe? I have a grande and love the look of them on other cars of the same era but haven't ever seen any on a 71-73 mustang. Pictures?

71 302 Grande

Thanks for the tip. What color is that wire that feeds the radio for illumination? My radio is missing and I can't make sense of the wiring diagrams on the internet. Any pointer would be appreciated.

Hi, I installed water temp, oil pressure, and ammeter gauges in my 71 Grande tonight. I went to install the illumination wires for the gauges by splicing into the air conditioning and heater control box light so that way I can dim the gauges with the dimmer switch. The gauges would not light up...

Custom it is then! Yours looks awesome Paul, good job.

Has anyone seen an after market or made a grill for a 71-73 mustang like the one pictured above? My grill is broken and I don't feel like paying the price for a new repo grill. Might as well make it custom. I was thinking of making one from expanded metal. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks for all the info guys, very helpful. I will have it tweaked as soon as possible. I'm really happy that the only option isn't to replace the whole subframe:)

Thanks for all the information guys, I won't be driving it until I find a shop to straighten the thing. Does your typical body shop have a machine that will do it, or is this more a of specialty item?

Hi everyone, I recently discovered that my 71 Grande has suffered from a collision at some point in its life. I found this out when I went to install my stock shock tower braces and the passenger side would not fall into place. The driver side will go in just fine. I took a close look underneath...

Hey all I'm looking for mufflers for my 71 302 Grande. I know I could just order some new ones but a set of new Flowmasters is about $120 so I was just seeing if anyone had any FM or similar mufflers laying around. Let me clear some shelf space for you.

Got it out! You were right, there were three screws that hold a gasket to the firewall. After that you have to rotate an arm on the engine side of the firewall to fit through the opening. Thanks!

I completed all the steps listed, tugged on the steering wheel really hard but the column won't budge. Did I miss something?

Hey everyone, I am trying to get my steering column out of my 71 grande so I can have room to install a clutch pedal. I can't seem to figure it out. I have the steering wheel off and the coupler is loose. How do you get this thing out?
