I owned a 73 from when I was 16 to almost 21 years old. I also had a 69 Mach and a 69 coupe within that time frame. I also had a 78 Mustang II hatchback with a 302 and a 4 speed when I was twenty for a couple months. It seemed someone always offered more than I thought they were worth so I sold...

I was able to check a few little thing off of the punch list this weekend. I was able to work on the car on Saturday in the morning and a couple hours on Sunday and an hour or so yesterday, so I was able to get a little accomplished. I started out on Saturday cleaning up the seat belts and...

Awesome metal work! Looking at your pics reminds me how happy I am to be finished with that stage of the resto on my car!

It looks nice and not that far from me. It would be perfect if the resto on my Mach was completed and about a year had past. That seems to be the magic potion for getting a new toy and not upsetting my wife. Once I have more time to spend on her, she tends to forget how much time and money I...

Haha, it's amazing what a little chrome polish will do, LOL :ROFLMAO:

I like to compare before and after pics for motivation. I would say there has been some positive improvements made since I bought the car 2 1/2 years ago, haha.

It was 92 degrees today and we had some family and friends coming over to swim. I was hoping to get something done this weekend but I hadn't found any time so far. Before everyone came over, I snuck out to the garage to wet sand and buff the decklid and quarter extensions and apply the rear...

Looks good, quite a transformation.

As I recall it was hard to sand but as far as cutting and polishing they were pretty normal. I remember it just seeming the wet sanding took a lot of effort and it wasn't too long after painting where I would expect it to be so cured, my black 442 was the worst. I felt the same way with other...

I remember that it was like an epoxy, it took a lot just to cut it when wet sanding as well.

It can be frustrating to get them adjusted right, I also had to walk away and work on something else the other day. I just removed the brackets last night from the car. I plan to open the the hole up about 1/8" to towards the core support and then repaint them this weekend. I think that will...

I use to spray a lot of my cars with Imron Centari back in the day, it was the "best" product then and I was always happy with the results. I painted my 68 442 with Imron Centari code 99L black, which is the blackest black you could mix. It looked great for the few years I had it after I painted...

Welcome from Chicago! Your 71 coupe looks nice, have fun getting it on the road and enjoy driving it.

Welcome from Chicago! Great looking car, unfortunately I have not added A/C to my car yet so I am not sure. I have been told that the vintage air and other companies like them that make the retro fit A/C kits that include everything you will need. As far as power steering you would just need to...

Welcome from Chicago! Looks like a nice 73 you got there.

I only able to work on the Mustang for a couple hours on Saturday morning this weekend. We had too much non-Mustang stuff going on, but I squeezed in some progress at least. I was able to switch out the bad temp sensor and trimmed out the carpet and installed and adjusted the shifter assembly. I...

It is pretty clear the guy that painted all three cars can lay down paint. They all look great!

The vinyl trunk mat did not have any insulation from the factory as far as I know. If you are concerned with noise or insulation, you can add sound deadener under the trunk floor. It wouldn't be an issue, unless your car is a concourse numbers match car, and is being judged as such. I believe...

Looks like a nice solid, straight shell to start with. I am a big fan of the "blank slate" cars. All of my cars came from the desert south west area and I performed complete frame off restorations on them. I like knowing that it is all built on a solid foundation. Good luck with your project, I...

Welcome from Chicago! Seems to me that you got a great deal! I love the Wimbledon White and the 71-72 stripes and paint scheme but I must admit that I am a bit biased, haha.
