You can always get a smaller tank. It’s not financially smarter if you are gonna be welding a lot but just for a project it is fine. I have a small tank, don’t remember the size, and I’ve filled it probably 5 times for the entire car, I’m laying large ugly welds cause it’s a rust bucket and...

I haven’t heard good things about cut pile carpet. I have been using Eastwood rust encapsulator and it brushes on nice, might top coat it in black, I’ve used a fifth of the gallon. Make sure to put new seam sealer OVER your rust stuff if you decide to replace it. I think similar is normally just...

I was just asking myself the same question today, seems ACC nylon mass backed is the best option but would love to hear what people think

Thanks, will definitely go this route, just will have to verify the wires.

Just was curious who supplies a good battery tray, hardware, and hold downs if possible for a 71. My entire apron was rotted away. Contacted Dan about the support bracket already, just need the rest of it. Thanks.

Thought about that. Think a used assembly is like 30 so it’s a little better.

Dang not what I wanted to hear. Yeah it’s the valence panel light, think they are called parking lights. Seem to be 55 bucks for the whole assembly, 120 for both. When I was looking at it didn’t seem like the connector would leave the housing easily.

Getting ready to send out my spaghetti harnesses to midlife (sorry in advance) and I am checking the rest of my wires that aren’t getting sent out. Found that my front valence signal light has a broken pin on the connector, how easy of a fix would this be and could someone point me in the right...

Good to know thanks. I don’t hate them, but I like clean hoods a lot more. Thanks guys I’ll pass on it, main reason I want a second working block is so the car doesn’t have to be parked. Planning on doing most of it by hand, just like everything else on the car so it’ll take me a while for a...

I should add another plus is that it’s within 10 minutes of my house. So I don’t have to worry about shipping. Mostly don’t care if it’s a running engine or not I plan on making a 408 myself eventually, so it’ll be off to a machine shop to clean it up.

Noted lol, would make a good step stool at least.

Hey, currently have a non original 73 block and 2v heads. Looking around for an earlier block and better heads that will be a better rebuild candidate and have a spare block to run the car with. I’m not a ford guy so I’m not sure how hard 351s are to come by and what they are priced around...

With the carb running place your hand lightly over the choke opening (not hard enough to cause suction) if rpm raises you most likely have a leak. Spray some starting fluid or map gas safely around the base to check for cracks. I’m used to quadrajets, they will physically stop the primaries from...

Howdy, with the truck full of parts that came with my Mustang it had a set of seat pans which we thought was for the Mustang but they don’t fit whatsoever and are about an inch or so taller, only tag on it seems to say 118RH. If anyone knows what they are for that would be great and I could get...

Appreciate it, i think most of the stuff we will buy will be new. Mom wants a car and she’s opening the check book so I ain’t complaining. Thanks. Thanks for all the info on the heads, grabbing the block this weekend to see what kinda engine they swapped the blown m code with.
