"Goodbye crappy roads, expensive gas" I saw on Discovery a while back a reportage, about roads in Missouri I think it was (not sure, but it was a south state), where local people developed a new art form as a protest for the lack of maintenance. They were decorating the many deep holes in the...

@bishoppeak ahaha, certainly is a lot of work. In fact, this door that I thought less damaged than the driver side, turns out to be much more work. No way back now :D @Kilgon Thank you. Somehow you learn with each new piece a trick or two that can be reused for the next one. Tho these @#$%...

Been busy on many non mustang related things in past weeks, but been busy on my 71's door.. Time for a little update! So as my shell corners are now done, next step was to attack the outer skin... Because my beloved paint remover isn't avail anymore and because mechanically removing the...

@mjlan yeah these are some really weird parts and there is little to no description about them. Overly complex and frankly useless. (doesn't make them cheaper on the market tho :O ) If they wanted to reduce air drag or noise, they could have come with something much more simple. Probably why...

@Cyclone03 FYI, this filler is 1 of 3 parts per side. There are 2 more at the front. I don't recall if you can install them without removing anything.

Both front and back motors are not that hard to fix. the front ones Busy rebuilding the 2 front PW motors of my 71 and soon the rear ones. And as expected as 99% of the time on 71-3, the electric side and motors are just fine. It's the gears and the cylinders that are either locking the motor...

Palm trees and a nice 73 vert. What can a guy possibly need more? Welcome from the northern Netherlands

Welcome from the northern Netherlands

I went for big guns as we could drown in air humidity sometimes over here: on acid cleaned metal, 2k epoxy primer for marine industry sprayed at 2.5 bars. 1.8 nozzle/fine water sanding, 2k wetOnWet primer/1.4nozzle/fine water sanding, 2k semi gloss black chassis paint at 2.2 bars/1.4nozzle for a...

The rods/torsion bars are twisting gaining and storing energy, if the weight is too much because of metal tiredness, I guess welding a rod of same diameter on one of the two bars, kinda doubling its diameter should fix the problem.

Rebuild my 71 box last year. It's not hard but not easy either. First to add to the tools cited above: - you need a pitman arm extractor, ( bought one from rockauto) - in videos I've seen prior doing mine, you see the guys using pliers to go around the need to use special tools mainly to...

I don't have much old parts left over, I restore 99% of them. The ones I did not restore like callipers, lower arm, rotors would have cost more to service them than buy new ones. The days I could let sandblasted and turn rotors for little price for instance are long gone. But I keep them...

What is a BJ? I have some idea, but it's probably not it :O

Are there btw felts with chrome for fastbacks?

DIY POWA! Looking sharp! Well done!

@Tnfastbk, sorry to hear that, that's a bunch of unlucky events. And they of course occur the day you don't want them to happen... The Griffin radiator split? How thin is that thing? Aren't they supposed to sustain pressures no engine would ever reach? "Got under the dash and found the master...

The total miles driven were 2,865 and not 1,865. And just a broken belt, not bad at all for a 50yo big stang!! :D I don't think many can claim to enjoy their 71-3 as much as you do! I wish I could!

@71ProjectJunk I use a large flat screwdriver alone, as you do not need any real tension when you take a certain order and have the tensioner almost loose, but the last one that connects to top needs to glide like 1 inch over the screwdriver while tension builds up before it flips behind and...

Thx for the sunny hotroddy picts Tony!

Good luck with the restoration! Welcome from the northern Netherlands
