    Fabrice's 429CJ 71 project

    @tpj71mach You're not a slacker, you're a wise man!! :D I totally underestimated the work involved and as you saw on the picts, the internals were really in a state that no lip tick could fix! Plus and trust me when I say it was dirty, somehow tons of organic and dust of all kind had entered the...

    Time for a little update...

    Steering Wheel

    @Helicopter you can’t make it worse than it is and once you’re done you will see you made a mountain out of a little thing. The key is to have good, 1cm large plastic tape and give it a good tension, The rest is filling that cylinder and wait 24 hours. Look how beautiful @jpaz ‘s one turned out...

Hope you'll get your upfront money back! But for now, man, that's some seriously jealous making shop that you managed to build! Love the...

    Towing problem

    You got one job: load / unload cars, bring them safely from a to b, everyday and you're freakin not even able to set/tension/check the straps?? It's beyond me how some can be such careless cro-magnons.

    71 Mach 1 - Novice Restoration

    Welcome Zach! So nice to see young blood around here!! My only old Monkey advice would be: take all 1 by 1 and don't let the shortcuts demons seduce you! Good luck!

    Steering Wheel

    @Helicopter Fixing the split(s) is fairly easy if you are bits handy. all it takes is after a good clean with solvant, then to warp plastic tape multiple time to add 1 or more mm to the diameter on each side, then bridge the two tape "rings" with again good plastic tape to obtain a cylinder...

    How do I deal with this?

    @jasonwthompson That's the best advice I read here! There is nothing cheap in fixing something. If so, I'm the cheapest guy around! :D This thing is 10 minutes of work to remove the old paint, bath it overnight and spray it the next day (after a soapy cleaning to neutralise the vinegar). And I...

    Look what Ford did to the new FL1A oil filters

    Thought so, but is it really 51515? Are there other WIX numbers with more suitable filtering for our engines?

    Look what Ford did to the new FL1A oil filters

    Got a few more Motorcraft on shelves, but can someone give me a wix ref number for 351c and 429? Sites over here don’t list them for US applications but you can order them. I think wix 51515 is for the 351? What would be for 429? Same?

    How do you remove this thing?

    @c9zx , @tpj71mach thx guys. I've unfortunately hurt my back last week, so crawling in the car or trunk to locate where extra screws are is postponed for a while...

    How do you remove this thing?

    How do you remove this long black trim? No idea how it's called. I've removed the screws expecting it to have some play, but not really. Is it squeezed in on the top (where I have the arrows)? Do I need do some kind of lever to make it move toward the front of car? Are there other hidden screws...

    AOD Swap Driveshaft

    @jacosaur, this is the baby I bought and installed: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sox-t2-3-8251hp This yoke is a really beautiful piece of engineering. Know that it has really tight tolerance and installing new u-joints will not go as easy as with the original one. You will need a press...

    Finally done with my interior switch over!

    Absolutely gorgeous! @mwilson7 "does anyone have a set of 1971 deluxe rear seat belts?" I use this to ask a second question on top. When I've removed the interior, found the seatbelts, but they were not used, missing the center anchor, they were installed likely at the plant but because it's...
