    72' Rag joint replacement inquiry

    I've seen many guys use a u-joint in place of that rag joint, but I'm not sure how that a would feel while driving. I think the u-jont would defnitely hold up better, but it may also transmit more road noise and feel (not really a bad thing though) to the steering column (and steering wheel) as...

    Vehicles For Sale 1972 Q code 351 4V Cobra Jet

    Georgeous color. If I didn't already have too many "toys" I would make you an offer. My wife would have a fit over me buying another 70's muscle car.

    Beautiful car! But I can honestly say that it looks much better with the Magnum 500's on it than those black wheels that were on it in the first several pics. I was never a big fan of the black wheels on anything as it seems to be a thing for the "millenials". Both of my teenage sons have always...

    71 A Pillar cover LH, FB

    I appreciate the additional pics, but I can see that yours is damaged in that same area as mine is so I think I will pass. It doesn't make any sense for me to buy another one that is just like the one I have already. But again, thank you.

    71 Mach 1 paint color choice help

    I agree that white is everywhere. It seems that on new cars, SUV's and pick-up trucks, white and silver are "the" standard colors anymore. My company buys nothing but white cargo vans and pick-up trucks for our business and that's because they are are more readily available than any other color...

    Seat upholstery question

    Thank you. The added height was the only thing I did not like about the upholstery. But they are very comfortable. I seemed to struggle more reupholstering the seat part of the rear seat. The back part of the rear seat was quite easy. I had to wait for a very sunny 80+ degree day and let the...

    Dash Printed Circuit Replacement Issue

    You can hook up each one of the LED Bulbs to a 9-Volt battery to test them. The attached diagram shows which side of the bulb needs to be connected to positive 12-Volts.

    Seat upholstery question

    Several months ago, I purchased the TMI Sport-II seat upholstery from NPD for my 73 Mach-1, which is also code GA. The Sport-II from TMI has the increased bolster thickness on the seat and the back. It is nearly identical to the factory upholstery except for the fact that the padding that I had...

    NEED ALL MEMBERS TO RESPOND PLEASE!

    Did you have to replace your front fenders on your 73 in order to use that 71 chrome bumper? I thought of doing that on my 73 but I was under teh impression that in order to do so, I had to use 71 (or maybe 72) front fenders .

    Will 15x8 Repop magnum 500s fit on all four corners of our cars?

    I put 15x8's (4.5" backspace) all the way around on mine. P245/60R15's on front and P275/60R15's on the rear with no rubbing anywhere. I also replaced my sagging 4-leafs on the rear with a set of Scott Drake 5-leafs (195 Lb. spring rate) and I love the way it rides now and its stance looks good...
