I just put a vise grip on what was left of my plastic knob and it threaded right off, and I threaded on the new metal knob.

Good looking Sprint! Welcome from Chicago! There are a lot of knowledgeable guys here on the forum that are always willing to help if you run into something you want info or advise on. A lot of the Sprint owners have a lot of hat specific knowledge, so don't be afraid to ask. the members here...

The lake looks like a great location to serve as a backdrop for some beautiful cars! I love the color combo and those rims on the 71-72, they make it look like a Hot Wheels car!:love: The black Mustang's paint looks flawless, nothing better than a well done black paint job! BTW, I didn't mind...

I am hoping that someone out there in 71-73 Mustang-land has a nice set of black door panels that they would like to sell. I am at the "end" of my restoration (there never really is an end), and there are two truths that need to be addressed. First, the door panels that were on the car were...

TBH, I can't really see the picture that well as it is small, and my 60 year old eyes aren't that good, but it looks like the three nuts are removed. I can't tell what you meant by "held in with the wrong bolts", but below are a couple pics of mine. Fortunately, I have not saved enough to buy my...

Those are pretty cool! Haha, I have drawers of tools I have no need for, that I have use twice every 10 years or so. When I managed the dealership Parts and Service departments, the damn Snap-On guy came every Tuesday morning to see the techs and stopped in my office to show me the latest...

Sorry to see you leave the forum just because you don't currently own a 71-73. Do you have plans to replace the Sprint?

Looks great! Is that an epoxy base? I like the Wimbledon White idea, although admittedly I am biased. My Mach was the exact same color scheme as yours originally, the green metallic with argent. A previous owner painted it Grabber Blue with argent, judging by the wear and patina, that was done...

Welcome from Chicago! It looks like you have a nice solid car to start with.

I was pleasantly surprised when my carpet showed up today that it was even delivered on a Sunday. I just ordered it on Tuesday and the website said it takes 1-3 days to process carpet orders. Trying to save a couple bucks, I just went with the ground freight option, so I didn't expect it until...

Thank you

Thank you

Great, thank you!

That's true, haha. :LOL: My friend's Chevelle was originally referred to by his wife as his "girl friend" and as the resto progressed it evolved to "*****" for her or Christine for him. TBH, having done all of the mechanical resto on this car for him, I am reasonably sure it is pure evil, haha...

Yesterday, I planned to chase down the gremlins that showed their ugly heads on the car's first drive home from the body shop last weekend. I decided I was going to reinstall all of the door inner components first, and the door glass also. I wanted to do this so the car is sealed up and I can...

I got a little time to start diagnosing my gremlins yesterday. I got caught up with other stuff first and then redirected myself to the issues. I was able to determine that the new temp sensor I installed failed already, I ordered a new one of those this morning, so that will be one thing off of...

I would be great if the speedo not working is as easy as the cable not being locked in. I am going to start with that and check all of the connectors for the tach and temp gauge and hope I find something easy.

As I mentioned in my build thread, I drove the Mustang home from the body shop last Saturday. It was it's maiden voyage and overall it went well, but a few issues arose in the 25 mile drive. I have not been able to have a chance to look at anything all week and I am planning on looking at it...

Welcome from Chicago! Good looking Grande!

Haha, I like the way you think, I am not sure that my wife would though, LOL :D If I do another project and and I can't really see that happening at this point, I would build a 67-72 F100 short bed and do the Crown Vic suspension and engine swap and make it a daily driver. The dream would be...
