take the headrest to an upholstery shop and have them cut them down.

came across this... but also got me thinking that its nearly the year 2020 , i thought by the year 2000 we were all supposed to have jet packs. well i dont have my jet pack do you? but i do have a smart phone and its capable of amazing things. now i need someone smarter than my self to...

here is what came on my 73 Mach1 the car has been in the family since 76 so i am certain these are the originals. I also have the poly glass spare tire and the same markings are there. I could part with these if someone needs them for a restoration.

I have a set of original 14" steel wheels with hub caps. I just could not stand the 14 inch pizza cutters anymore I have been looking at them since 1976. Ok maybe not since 1976 since I was 2 years old but certainly by 1979 I was aware of them lol. they do clear the front disc brakes.

Good ideas by everybody. I like the non traditional or mainstream approach. hard to beat a system quickly if you have never seen it. In the End i know its only one flat bed from being taken but i dont intend on leaving it anywhere long enough for that to happen.

Had an oh poop moment this morning when a truck in front of me stopped hard to make a left turn.  Brakes worked and then a pop feeling in pedal and no brakes..... i was able step on then ebrake to get stopped and finish my journey home.  Starting looking up parts and master cylinder needs...

I'm just glad I dont have to duck in embarrassment when it doesn't start at the gas pump lol. On to the next issue that should show its head any second now.

Here is an update for anyone that might Google this having the same issue. Disclaimer what I'm about to say makes no sense but its observations in my particular case. Recently got back on this csr after letting it sit for a while. Life happens. The major thing was u finally got it registered...

Would I rather? No thats why I'm here asking if anyone has successfully done this. If anything i think i would unbolt the door from the hinge before the fender. The way i nderstand it the door will have to come off anyway once the pins are removed.
