    Am I missing something?

    Comparing the seam on mine to the 73 posted earlier in the thread, there's definitely a difference. It seems like it needs to go almost to the edge of the trim and mine stops short. I found a link to the Fords Unlimited site on here that tells how to adjust the frame, but I don't remember seeing...

    Am I missing something?

    It's part of the frame for the top. The cable runs on the inside of it. I snapped a picture of it from below with the door open so you can see it. I think the top itself (not the frame but the fabric part) needs to be pulled forward about an inch.

    Am I missing something?

    Comparing it to these pictures makes me think the top should come down a bit farther and cover the frame there, which would seal it a lot better. Is there a way to adjust the positioning of the top (I think it just needs to go forward a tiny bit to line up right)?

    Am I missing something?

    The gap between the top and the frame, where you can see the back window through it if you look carefully.

    Am I missing something?

    I got some pictures of the gap I'm talking about. Any ideas if there should be anything there, or did it come from the factory with this gap?

    What gaskets to use?

    Not sure if I should start another thread or not, but I'm hoping someone can tell me if I'll need an extension for the automatic kickdown cable to connect to an Edelbrock 1405 600 cfm carburetor?

    What gaskets to use?

    I appreciate the info. So just to be clear;I don't need to drain any coolant, or just not all of it? Nevermind, I just looked at the intake again and get what you're saying.

    What gaskets to use?

    I just won an Edelbrock 2750 intake on ebay and plan to install it in the next bit. I've searched on here trying to figure out what I need and have come across different answers and am hoping for some help. Will I need a valley pan gasket (please say why or why not)? Do I just need "the right...

    I'm about an hour south of Ogden, but my parents live 15 minutes from there (I have 2 brothers even closer to Ogden). I'll keep an eye out and ask them to do the same. What kind of stuff are you looking for?

    Am I missing something?

    The window seals against the top, it's just above that where I see the gap, between the top frame and the top itself. I don't see it looking straight at it, but if I crouch down and look up at the top there's a decent sized gap on both sides. This is my first experience with a convertible so I'm...

    Am I missing something?

    I noticed the other day that I can see the inside of the car just below where the convertible top sits, above the rear quarter windows. I checked both sides and they are the same. I'm wondering if that's how it was made, or if there should be some weatherstripping get or something there to seal...

    It's crazy how different the color looks in the sun vs the shade.

    I've loved Mustangs since I was a kid, and 71-73 have been my dream car since the first time I layed eyes on a 71 Boss 351 in a mustang book I got. I hadn't considered a convertible until the opportunity presented itself for me to own 1 (I liked the look of them but thought i'd have a sport roof...

    What's this car worth?

    The purchase is done. The only bad part is we're waiting for our new home to be finished and already sold our old home so I have to leave it at their shop for the next couple weeks before I get to take it home. I do plan on taking for a few drives in the meantime but want to be able to get in it...

    What did you do to your car today?

    I bought it. That's what I did to my car today. :D

    What's this car worth?

    I accidentally posted these pics in another thread before I realized it wasn't this one. I drove it today, they rebuilt the carburetor and it fired up first try and ran great. I'll be going by the bank today to make a withdrawal. By the way, turns out the interior really is white it just had...
