An anonymous donater decided to have a random member upgraded to Benefactor Status in return for a very generous donation to the forums! 

The first name that popped up was...

Ok folks...the 2019 7173Mustang.com Calendars are now available on Lulu!  I tried to get all of the photos submitted into print but I apologize in advance for the ones that were too small to print!  If your photos didn't make the cut, make sure you get some higher resolution images for next year and we'll do it again!

Thanks again to everyone that did submit photos!  Looks like we have an outstanding calendar again this year!!

Use code: LULU10 at checkout (Good until Jan 17, 2019)

Ok guys, it is that time of the year...time for the annual 7173Mustang.com Photo Calendar...but we need photos! 

If you would like to have your car appear in our 2019 calendar, please post your best photos below!  Try to post the originals or the largest file size that you can...this makes them turn out much better when the calendar is printed.

If you have any troubles posting photos, PM me and I'll reply with an email address to send them to.

Be sure to include your forum username, location, model and year with the photos!  For example:

RocketFoot - Latrobe, PA - 1971 Mach 1

The calendars are sold as a fund raiser to help keep the forums up and running so the we appreciate every aspect of the calendar sales from the generous photo submissions to the actual purchase of the calendars! 

I am also going to put together an amazing (but very tasteful) Pinup Girl calendar!!  More details on that to come!  I don't have enough photos for an all Mustang Babe calendar but I am sure the photos that I have collected will not disappoint!

So, lets see what you have...remember, the best and biggest file size photos that you have!  Post them up!  I'll try to use them all in the calendar but the final decision on content will be based on what photos work best, resolution, etc...

As you know, you can occasionally see 'Pay it Forward' posts around the forums where someone has an item listed for free but the recipient is expected to basically do something nice for the 'next guy' in return for receiving the free item.  Sometimes they give something of their own away or in some cases they make a donation to the forums!  Over the weekend we had a donation in the form of 2 VIP Memberships come through from TheRktmn!  This was a result of Goodnigh sending him an item and requesting a forum donation.  TheRktmn stepped up and paid it forward with a VIP Membership for Stanglover AND Not A T5!! 

This is what really makes this forum a great place...you guys are helpful and generous in supporting and encouraging the Mustang Hobby! 

As always, I thank you for the donations and I am humbled by the show of support that happens o often around here!  You guys make the forums great...the forum is just the place where the magic really happens!!

So again...a BIG THANK YOU to Goodnigh and TheRktmn for making this happen and Congratulations Stanglover and Not A T5 on your newfound VIP Status!  (First round of drinks in the VIP Lounge is on the new guys!!)  

BIG thanks to Don (OMS) and Ohio Mustang Supply for continuing their support of the forums as a valued 7173 vendor for another 2 years!!  Ohio Mustang Supply has been a vendor with us since the beginning...there are not many other Mustang parts vendors out there that are as committed to the Mustang restoration hobby and especially the 71-73 segment as OMS is!  If you need parts for your project...no matter what year, be sure to give Don and Ohio Mustang a try!

As always, be sure to thank OMS for their continued support of the forum and please give them a chance to earn your business!  That goes for all of our trusted forum vendors!  We like to support the businesses that support the site!  Let them know you appreciate the support as well!

Hi folks, I just wanted to post a semi annual reminder to all new members that we do accept donations in the form of forum VIP status upgrades for your account!  VIP accounts enjoy extra inbox room for private message storage as well as extra upload space for photos and files!  VIPs also get access to the VIP forum where the infamous Mustang Babe thread resides!  You can also request a custom signature for your profile for free!  You get all this for just $25 and it is for lifetime...no reoccurring fees ever!

We also have VIP Site Supporter ($100) and VIP Benefactor ($200) levels that add even more storage and upload space (Benefactor status is UNLIMITED!!)  All these VIP levels also give you a cool custom profile badge that shows on every post and lets your peers know that you are serious about the Mustang hobby and that you help support the forums!

All proceeds from VIP upgrades go to helps cover the costs of domain fees, server hosting, remote forum backups and constant security improvements!  Every penny donated is very much appreciated!!

VIP upgrades also make a great gift to send to another forum member that helped you out or made you laugh!  It can even be anonymous if you wish!

Just to be clear, we appreciate every donation but 7173Mustangs is not a pay site and never will be!  Every one has access to the regular forums, tech info, Mustang data and all the other features no matter what level your account is.  VIP levels are just our way of thanking those that wish to help support the site. 

So, if you are ready to step up and help support your super awesome, most favorite website on the internet...click here:

Great news guys!  MotorCity Mustang is back for another 2 years of forum support and advertising on 7173Mustangs.com!!  How about another BIG THANK YOU to MotorCity for the continued support of the forums and of course, the Mustang hobby itself! Without the support of these vendors AND ALSO the individual donators, VIP Members, Benefactors and Site Supporters, a lot of the features and functions of the forums might not exist! 

So please, when you need a part or a service for your car, give our forum advertisers a chance first!  That is the best way to thank them for continued support!

Also, if you enjoy the forums and want to help support, we have several ways to do so on our Subscription page!

Just wanted to give a shout out to TheRktmn and Rocketman's Classic Cougar Innovations!  We are happy to have Rocketman renew advertising for another 2 years as an official 7173Mustangs.com vendor!  Be sure to check out his website and also drop a big thank you for continuing to support the forums as well as the 71-73 Mustang Hobby!

As always, be sure to check out all of our vendors when you need parts or service for your Mustangs!  It's always great to reward these vendors that are dedicated to our Mustangs!

Hey guys, I have noticed a few threads about building and designing shops, shop equipment, tools and such lately.  I decided to open a new forum under General Discussion called "Shop Talk!"

Feel free to jump in and talk about all your shop/garage/man cave topics as well as tools, equipment, etc.

I moved a few topics into the new forum to help get it started!  This topic also seems popular on Facebook with several huge garage/man cave group pages that exist.  

Enjoy!
