    how did you get your 7173 mustang

    Never seen this thread before and read it all... Here's my story. Was always a Chevy guy and had a 69 Camaro SS Indy Pace Convertible as a daily driver in high school. There was a White 71 Mach 1 at school that I thought was about the coolest car I'd ever seen and that made me just like the 7173...

    Outside Sport Mirror Removal

    My right hand sport mirror base is broken off the door. I'm ordering a new base casting to remount the existing mirror head on. The remnants of the old base are still screwed to the door. I tried loosening the screws but they just turn and don't come out. How do I access the back side of the...

    National Mustang Day -2016

    160 miles. About anywhere we ever want to take the car is about always a 100+ mile trip each way, but it's a pretty decent driver.

    drum brakes hard to drive?

    Not a big deal. When I first started driving my '73 with power drums I was really surprised how well they worked.

    Power Tour?

    I still haven't gotten through to them. I emailed Sunday and left my contact info but haven't heard back. I went ahead on my own and searched the areas near the Houston and Austin venues. I was able to find acceptable accommodations within 5 about miles of each of the venues. I should be good...

    Power Tour?

    No, I tired calling it yesterday and this morning, but I didn't get an answer. I guess they keep bankers hours. I dunno if it would be better to book through them or just do my own bookings in close proximity to the venues.

    Power Tour?

    I want to long haul it, but my work situation won't allow it this year. I already have the wife on notice to prepare for a long trip next year and it'll be the top entry in the 2017 travel budget.

    1973 coupe with Ram Air hood opinions please

    I think the Ram Air hoods look fine on any of the cars and initially planned one on mine but after thinking about it decided it seems like 99% of the cars have the same hood and for no other reason than to be different I'm keeping the plain hood on mine. Only way I'll change it is if the...

    Roller rockers install

    Couple of possibilities here as I have been looking at the same thing. Here's what I'm seeing. (Assuming you are using pedestal style rocker arm heads) Option 1: Go with a standard style roller rocker. These need pushrods guide plates to keep the rocker arm aligned with the valve stem. To use...

    Green Cleveland

    That's kinda what I was suspecting from finding the tag affixed to the block. When I get a better look at it I'll post a pic if it is indeed a rebuilder tag.

    Green Cleveland

    Anyone ever seen Ford engine blocks that were painted Green? I have a 73 Cleveland block that has green paint every where, not a trace of Blue. I spoke with a friend who was in the Service for Ford dealers for many years and he says he's seen green engines/blocks before from rebuilders who...
