I see your problem. I don't have the 3 center gauges in mine. Have you considered just replacing the center dash panel with one that doesn't have the gauge pod? Those 3 gauges are included in the VHX gauge cluster anyway.

I don't have them in my car but I have seen a similar set in an few cars at local shows. I personally didn't like the look. Therefore I am planning on the VHX series when I build my car. It has all the nice bells and whistles of a modern piece but still has the analog gauge look. I am planning...

In my original build plan I was thinking MSD box and distributor. I am considering an Ignitor III distributor instead to eliminate a box to fail. The ignitor module is small enough to keep a spare in the car in case of failure. Anyone have experience (good or bad) with the Ignitor III set-up?

gpierce, I like the look of that tire and wheel size on your car. Are you at stock ride height or did you lower it any? The stance is really nice. If no one else comes back with experience of a larger tire in this size wheel, I guess 225/50R17 is what I will go with.

Below are the wheels and tires I was planning for my 73 Mach1 build. A few suggested bigger tires. I am all for it, but I want plenty of clearance so there is no chance of rubbing. For the wheel size I picked, what is the widest tire I can run without worry. Car will probably run a stock height...

Thanks guys. I have updated my material list to the one Mike used.

In my build plan post, I got a lot of negative feedback regarding the Rod and Custom front coil over conversion I was planning. I am open to change but I need other ideas. Here is the situation with the car. The bottom plate of the front crossmember is showing rust damage. I have a replacement...

I was planning on a Ron Morris crossmember for the AODE I intend to install. In my build post, Eric mentioned that the one he bought didn't fit. Is there a different one out there that others have had good luck with? Eric, how much modification did you have to do to your original?

Mustang 7173, funny you should mention insurance. The first thing I did was contact my insurance company and discuss how I could insure the car. They will do an agreed value policy on the car without the normal restrictions that come with a "Hagerty" type agreed value policy. It cost more than...

Hi guys, Thanks for the feedback. Eric, it sounds like you have built yourself a pretty awesome car. I guess I should have provided a little more back story on this thing in my original post. I have owned this car for 30 plus years. Dad got it for me when I was in high school. It was my daily...

I am planning to build this car to be my daily driver. I am tired of the new cars that I can't work on. I like a lot of the convenience items found in a new car so I am adding those that can be purchased in the aftermarket. I would like to hear feedback (good or bad) from those that have used...

Autoworks lists the kit below for 69-70's. https://www.autoworksparts.com/product/1969-1970-mustang-power-door-lock-kit I don't care about switches, I am just looking for actuators. I want the key and knob to still work. I want to add actuators to tie into the a keyless entry that I am...

Does anyone make a power door lock kit for 71-73 cars? I can only find 65 - 70. If not, does anyone have a recommendation for a generic kit they have installed and are happy with?

As long as I can carry on a conversation in a normal tone of voice I will be satisfied. I am guessing the lack of a vent window is probably a big plus for these cars. Thanks for the feedback. I will be posting my plans for the car in the next few weeks and will be looking for feedback regarding...

Hello all. I am new to your forum, but I have owned a 73 Mach1 for about 30 years. The car has been shuffled from one storage location to another for the last 25 years because I just couldn't bring myself to sell it. I have recently completed a frame off restoration of an old Studebaker Hawk and...
