    Ginger Carpets

    I hope I got to this thread in time... As I've said in earlier posts here on 7173mustangs, and on VMF, when you go shopping for ACC carpet on some of these "bargain carpet" websites where the prices seem to good to be true, you wind up with cheap/sh** ACC carpet. Such is the case with the #620...

    Congratulations on your new (to you) Mustang!! At least I'm assuming it's relatively new to you. Here's some random advice: * Rear diffuser? No such thing exists. Unless you're wishing/able to fabricate yourself, which you've already confessed you cannot. * Bumpers come in handy when you get...

    Hilton Head Concourse D'Elegance 10/31/24-11/3/24

    For many years, up until I decided to take a break, I produced and put on the Mustang and All-Ford Round-up at Silver Springs annually. In our heyday, it was 1,000-1,100 Ford products packed within the Silver Springs nature park. And one hard/fast rule of mine was NO DJ's... Lord knows, every...

    Keep this up, and everyone will think that I've set up a second ghost profile, and I'm orchestrating this discourse all by myself LOL... ;) Yes, thank you for your remarks on the catalog. No matter how much effort and push we put behind further-developing our website, there's just no replacing...

    Reproduction sheet metal

    turtle5353's post just below yours is spot-on.... Folks, do NOT trust e-coat... It is not sprayed on the part with the solid intention for it to be the basis and foundation of your prime-and-paint job... It is sprayed on there simply to ensure that the panels make it from Taiwan to USA, on that...

    LOL.... Studebaker people share a similar reputation... ;)

    We've learned from the manufacturer that the NACA hood with no twist-lock holes is open-market (they sell direct to us), but the one with the holes (same tooling, just an additional process) is under exclusive agreement to Dynacorn. So we're forced to buy it through Dynacorn, hence the $100...

    I'd have to see the specific SKU at CJ's, and go through the motions of checking-out with it, to see where they land in the "delivered" column... I'll elaborate more on my next post to everyone following this thread... Rick NPD

    Hilton Head Concourse D'Elegance 10/31/24-11/3/24

    Congratulations on getting the 2-day invite!! The Saturday show is fun, but it's the Sunday event that's the real mind-blower. I'll be there showing two cars, a red/black 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser, and a Nocturne Blue 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix. I'll look for your car and hope to run into...

    We buy the non-hole hood directly from Golden Legion, but we're getting the hole hood from Dynacorn (which is just a middleman). Why?? I'm looking into that, should have an answer in 24-48 hours.

    Hi There! New to the group with my 1973 Mach 1

    I was hoping you'd stick with the original colors (which I really dig), but if you decide to go different, I'll toss out there that 1973 Mach 1's could be ordered from the factory in a color called "Light Pewter Metallic" (color code 5A), which is very similar to the Eleanor gray you mentioned...

    Hi There! New to the group with my 1973 Mach 1

    Neat story!!! Coincidentally, I also have a Nocturne Blue 1964 Grand Prix, fully-restored (AACA Senior National 1st-place). Pontiac was ON FIRE in the mid-60's!! Great cars, stupendously cool interiors.

    Hi There! New to the group with my 1973 Mach 1

    Congratulations! I love the car and the color combo, hope you keep that original. Looking around the interior and overall level of wear (regardless of having been relegated to a barn), I'm betting on 105K miles, not 40K or 5K. But regardless, you've got the right plan of rebuilding everything...

    Door panel manufacturer suggestions

    As Midlife accurately stated, there's been no "MCA Approved" program in place for over 2 decades now. Bob Perkins was the last person to be in charge of it, and it had become a real political mess. They decided it was best to just abandon the idea. Secondly, a pair of door panels DOES NOT...

    2000 Mustang Front end

    With all due respect, and objectivity, it seems like a whole heap-load of work, daunting fabrication and problem-solving, all towards the quest of creating a mutant Mach 1 that has zero engineering-foundation, questionable structural and driving/handling dynamics once it's done, and if it's a...

    Door panel manufacturer suggestions

    They are the same, disregard TMI's images... The images on the TMI website are just a confluence of digital photography variables combined with bad/poor post-photo editing. A digital mess/mirage. To all, please know and remember, you cannot trust ANYTHING you see on a phone or a tablet or a...

    Who makes the better printed circuits?

    Blue Oval is Taiwanese (they're an importer). Kentucky Mustang claims to make their own?? I find that questionable. They might have the same supplier that we (NPD) do, and claim it as their own because it's a bit of a "secret" as to who's making these here in the USA.. I'm not going to name the...
