    Reinstall A/C System?

    When I bought my '73 vert over a year ago the air conditioning had been removed (to save weight, presumably, and also because, well, it's a convertible). The seller, however, gave me all the parts in a box. I now realize that as the days get hotter it may be impractical for me to drive it when...

The rear quarter panel extensions on the '71-72 are supposed to be longer than the ones of the '73 so...

    "Moonfall" Mach 1

    I just caught a recent flick, I believe on NetFlix, called "Moonfall." It's a sci-fi picture starring Halle Berry. In it, Patrick Wilson's character is restoring a 71-73 Mach 1 (sorry, haven't had time to take a screenshot).
