    15x8 Magnums 🧐

    That invoice looks completely fake, the font isn't even remotely correct.

    71 tilt wheel steering column identification needed

    The black column is not a tilt column, the green one appears like it might be. The welded flange on the steering shaft is not present on a tilt unit, it has a splined end like the steering box. WCCC has some very good pics of a tilt column to reference...

    1973 Mustang headlamp retainer

    Your question is confusing. Are you asking about the headlight adjuster screw threaded inserts? (13021) The metal bracket is still present, but the insert is gone. These are sold in a hardware kit, or you can get them separately from AMK as B-10068...

    Interesting So Cal 72 Coupe Project car

    For $5k, seems like a good deal. No clue on the market or pricing for the included Raptor engine & trans. The strut front seems like a better idea than a Mustang II front end.

    What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

    Nice. I tried to buy a 70 H-code Mach in Bright Yellow as my first car - which my parents ixnayed. $750 for a mildly rusty driver in 1987 money. Dropped the 71 XR-7 off at the mother in-law's house for the winter. Picked up a 69 Ford XL from the same guy I bought my 71 Country Squire from...

    Location of the Seat Belt Loops

    Those are for wire harnesses and looms. The shoulder belt hangers are a formed chrome wire "w" that slips into the roof rail trim.

    Paint shop Prison

    A good friend just got the call that his 71 Challenger is painted and ready to be picked up. We delivered the car in early Feb 2023, the painter just finished it this week. This was a complete color change from Gold to Plum Crazy, the timeframe is appropriate for a non-restoration shop. It still...

    Engine won't start and turns over like it has no compression

    Pretty amazing what proper cam timing will do for how your engine runs?! I have a cheapo Amazon borescope and it's a tremendous tool for automotive use. You'll gain a little more with a performance curve in the distributor and a bit more initial timing.

    Compression ratio of a 351 Cleveland to these with 4V heads and dish Pistons

    The '72 Q-code engine had a factory advertised compression ratio of 8.6:1, which was (for the first time) accurate to how they were built. If you have dished pistons, you'll need to know the dish volume, or calculate it from it's dimensions. The factory '73 pistons were supposedly 8cc vs the...

    Which cable must be connected to which side of the transistor/relay?

    That's the power window safety relay, it's energized when you turn the key to Accessory or Run. Simply connect the two wires to it. If it doesn't trigger, then switch them. You won't hurt it.

    What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

    I've got too many irons as well, but this was too hard to pass up. Now the 71 Squire has a friend. @basstrix Those base '72 Torinos are really hard to find, seems everyone wanted the Gran Torino with the fishmouth grille. There's a 72 Q-code 4 speed Gran Torino Sport locally that's been...

    Twist on gas cap

    Going to take a stab that the cap for the full size and intermediates would work. Motorad MGC810 or Gates 31720 for the 71-up sorta-vented cap https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4592373&cc=1128800&pt=5900&jsn=655 For a true vented cap, the 68-earlier should avoid the potential...

    What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

    Dragged this home last night and then spend $40 blasting off the years of nastiness. 1972 Country Sedan 400-2V, C6, tilt, air, dual facing rear seat, power locks. Very rust free, but like many southwestern cars, the interior is well worn. I jokingly told my daughter it'd be her first car, now...

    Paint shop Prison

    A group of friends just broke a 68 Camaro out of PSP this past Friday. Shop had the car for eight years. They had gotten it painted and mostly assembled, but thats where it stopped. Didn't do any of the other work they were contracted and paid to do. I swear it's the chemicals.
