    Lowering front end

    I used new lowered front springs and drop spindles on the front, replaced the rear springs for a lift on the rear. All said and done the front dropped 1/2 inch and the rear raised 1 inch, perhaps to aggressive if you want a good rear view but let’s be honest it’s never going to be a good rear...

    Rear spoiler color previous owner painted body color thinking of changing to black should it be gloss or satin black or leave as is? Tia

    According to all of my manufacturing research( I could be wrong) the rear wing was NEVER installed at the factory, it was a dealer installed option. Therefore there is no correct color, it’s either what ales sense with the car or what the customer wanted.

    Wire ID

    midlife infers with an extremely educated guess, always. From experience there was some fast and loose play going on at the ford plant in the early 70's. If it fit and worked but had an extra wire so what....or maybe you would upgrade to that package down the line and on the other end of it...

    classic instruments sky drive

    ok apparently noone has tried. So maybe i'll be the first. Midlife, do you have any writeup on the speedo anywhere? It is after all electro/mechanical. If not do you have any description of the speedo itself? Like what the end of the speedo cable actually does? From my understanding it is...

    classic instruments sky drive

    Anyone installed one of these? Cj says it fits but the install doc is very vague. If you have one working how did you attach the white wire and to where?

    72 mach 1 Grandmas original first car

    ya know David I actually might be able to do a day at the museum, I'm not an early riser but I think I could have my brother start the day with the grandmother and I could come later. I'd love for you to be able to look her over, I know her imperfections but I seem to be the only one. What are...

    Summer deadline - 72 Mach 1 Build thread

    two things that I saw and have dealt with from your posts. I had to replace my windshield, it was exceptionally hard to find an original and the repro models aren't the same, they don't fit as well and don't have the shade across the top the same. Take the time to find an OEM replacement not a...

    72 mach 1 Grandmas original first car

    I know I've been gone for a good while but hey, life...…… I did actually switch the mufflers to turbos and its pretty damn sweet in my opinion. Grandma still thinks its a bit loud but after I took her out to dinner in it and she became the woman to ask about the sick muscle car that came to the...
