In my opinion (which admittedly isn't worth squat), a car that was not built the way Ford intended is not a survivor. New gauges -not a surviror - new paint - not a survivor - different exhaust, different headers, different carbs, different intake - not a survivor. If it doesn't match the...

It's not gouging if there are no other alternatives... I get it - there is a Big Difference between getting a car to work and one that is built the way Ford intended it. I freely admit that I have never driven a 1971 Mustang the way Ford built it. My car was 10 years old when I bought it...

815 - that is not a factory switch, so it's anybody's guess what it is for 814 - the hole is for the parking brake indicator on a '73. You should have a seatbelt light over the glovebox. The small switch on the far left is not stock, so good luck with that one. 806 - this could have a couple...

I wonder if somewhere in the plans they intended to put a defroster blower there.

I don't know of a specific description, but in general a survivor is a car that hasn't had any major repairs at all. Just maintenance. All original paint, bodywork, dirvetrain, interior - everything. That doesn't mean that all of the finishes have to be perfect - just original. The car can...

If the car is that original, I would leave it as is. Cars that are Very Close to original condition become reference cars for restorers, so the more you change it, the less value it has for the restoration community. If you absolutely have to modify a car, set this one aside and get one that...

Just curious - what car is the power seat system from?

I could be wrong, but I think the difference is that service parts are not concours correct, but will work. Professional grade are more for the nit picky restorer.

Lowering the front would be my first choice. It's easy, doesn't involve construction, and can easily be put back.

From fuel tank to carb line...

If the front end is lifting at speed, you should feel it in the steering wheel. Does your steering feel lighter the faster you go? The front end may tend to wander a bit as well if there is significant lift. If you suspect there is lift, there are devices you can put on the car to measure...

If your frame is sagging, you have bigger problems than what subframe connectors can fix.

Yeah that won't work at all. Bushes are friction fit - they aren't supposed to slide or spin around in their seats. They work by deforming within their material.

I prefer a 4-post with a dolly kit.

Beauty is, function is not - it either works or it doesn't.

Might want to ask an upholstery shop that replaces convertible tops.

You need a different release mechanism. The deluxe have a drop down for the release handle mount.

Which seatbelt light? And I'm interested in one of the hoses.

Drilling into a full gas tank is Darwin-worthy. Videoing it and then posting the video is epicly stupid.

The big square one? I think that is one you will have to salvage from another harness. I've never seen one for sale separately. Midlife will know for sure.
