    Tip of the day.. When migging sheet metal use .025 mig. wire. NO MORE Blow through s! Keep gas at around 10-12 PSI. Too high a gas will also allow blow through s. Lastly, even though its hot.. DO NOT run a fan directly on you when you are migging. The Argon gas is easily displaced by the...

    72 R code being resto moded.

    The car was in pretty good shape when I bought it: But every panel that had 1 pin hole was replaced. Making the car TOTALLY STEEL (NO BONDO) and TOTALLY RUST FREE. These pics are before I tore the thing totally down, put on the rotisserie and went ground up with all new sheetmetal that...

    I don't think the Coyote will fit with the shock towers, so that would be a really expensive option with cutting the towers and putting in a whole new strut suspension. I have heard the 32 valve 4.6L doesn't even fit in a 71-73. A much better idea would be a 351 based small block crate motor...

    72 R code restoMod project

    I LOVE your car. I especially like the chrome bumper and front pieces. Not sure why Ford decided to make the 72 Mach with rubber bumpers.. I think its UGLY. I had a 72 coupe in HS that had this exact package, NASA hood but it also had the chrome trim front pieces and around the wheel wells. Dont...

    72 R code restoMod project

    Thanks guys, you've given me a lot of suggestions. Im looking at the difference between going Scots way, (crate) vs. my original idea which is just as much money. I may just garage the whole drive trane and start fresh with modern equipment. I dont know anything about the new computer wiring...

    want to buy a welder immediately!

    To be honest I like this welder better than my Mig. http://www.cobratorches.com/7.html Unlike the mig you can use it for braising and soldering. Comes in VERY handy when you need to build up thin metal thats impossible to replace. Once you get good you can cut with this puppy AS CLEAN as a...

    Even in Project status these 71-73 Mach 1 s look awesome!

    I agree.. I like them much better than the 60's. Most Mustang guys I know dont think anything newer than a 69 is a 'real mustang" To each his/her own. My fav is the 69/70 Shelby.

    72 R code restoMod project

    LOL. Right now I have an "R code in a box". ALL the parts are off the body. I do like the 351HO 4 bolt main which will come in handy when I put the Paxton Novi 2000 SC on it.

    73 FRONT BUMPER?

    Im doing a 72 Mach retro and I prefer a chrome bumper. If you have a nice chrome bumper (MUST BE NICE), I would be willing to trade my rubber 72 bumper which is the same as the 73. Its grabber blue so you likely will need to repaint.
