I finally got the two torsion rods installed.  I need to upload some photos of them because the installation is not traditional.  I needed two torsion bars because I added the spoiler to the trunk making the trunk a bit heavy.  The second torsion bar works like a charm and I did not have to put...

It has RCA outputs and Aux inputs. Not sure I will use either of them. I got them for the buyer who will eventually own it. Funny, but I prefer the radio most of the time.

I finally selected the radio and speakers and they are now installed. I went with the Custom Autosound 230. I like the look and the sound. 1971 Mustang Coupe - Spring Sport Edition

Here are some of the photos for the radio installation.  I like how it looks and I like how it sounds. [/URL] flipa coin              

I got my 71 Spring Sport Edition Mustang coupe to the audio installers and had the new radio, front speaker, and rear speakers installed.  After I bought the parts I realized it was a larger job than I was willing to take on.  I bought a RetroSound AM/FM radio along new speakers.  The parts sat...

Hi Don, I did a search for Radio.  I found 6 threads.  I read thru them all.  Thanks for the advice. - Gary

Thanks Legless One and Not a T5.  I will look into both of those options that you provided.  I know that CJPonyParts.com and NationalPartsDepot carry replacement radios for 1971 Mustangs.  I just wasn't sure if they fit the radio bezel opening or if I have to customize the fit.  I definitely...

Hi - I'm getting ready to change out my old radio for something up to date with more options.  I am working on my 1971 Spring Sport Edition Mustang coupe.  Here is a picture that the original owners gave me showing what it looked like in the early 70's.  It was Lime Green with a white hard top. ...

Steve, Thanks for posting the video that demonstrates the tool used for the Cougar torsion bars.  I've looked it over and the torsion bars for the 71 Mustang are different.  I don't think the particular tool will work on the torsion bars I posted pictures of.  I was happy to hear that your hand...

Hi - This thread is designed to gather into one thread the information needed to safely install trunk torsion bars while keeping all your teeth in your mouth. There are 5 or so threads discussing topics like "how many torsion rods should be installed" and "which notch to set the torsion rods...

York0060, That is one nice '71 Spring Special. The black on white is a great combination. I love the body stripes and the Magnum 500 wheels. I can't wait to get my car to that stage. Thanks for sharing this car. It is 'maybe' the nicest 71 Spring Specials I've seen on this site.

Mike, Thanks or the reply. It took some time to find a place that would do the paint using the hood pattern popular on NACA hoods. I went with Miracle Auto Painting in Sunnyvale, CA. The shop manager, Oliver, was terrific. He would send me before and after photos to make sure it was to my...

Probably looked like this:

Thank you for the nice words. I see a lot of great Mustang photos on this site which really inspired me to make this little project like one of them. I found a 71 Mach 1 with a paint scheme I liked and have been modeling my project after that. I still have the sport mirrors to install, front...

That's a perfect way for daughter's to remember their fathers as working in the garage with them fixing cars. She'll have fond memories of that for years to come. I was able to entice my daughter to re-paint the red, white, and blue stripes on the Mustang emblem on the front grille. It takes...

4Vforever, Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I appreciate the words about persevering until the job is done. I pushed myself during the hot days and the freezing days to just keep moving the project forward. Now, it is getting a lot more fun putting all the parts back in after painting and...

I am also using the 1971 medium green spray paint from SEM that I ordered from NPD. I'm almost done with all the painting after using 2 cans. I wish I had ordered 3. That green is the perfect match for my 71 Coupe. I've not seen any other 71 green interior color in spray can.

The cost was 2.17/foot. Roll was 4 feet wide. I needed 2-3 feet.
