    Here is my 72 Grande 351c 2v

    Looks amazing my friend. I may be hitting you up on some details of your whole process, as I am going to be doing mine as well to be a weekend rider, not show, and to save some money. I'd like to get some more details on the stripper, the process, etc. It really looks good man. Nicely done.

    1972 Mustang Coupe 302

    Thanks buddy. I did some searches yesterday and did see that almost all the players (CJ, Kentucky, Classic Ind) all carry the floorpan replacement pieces...and for suprisingly affordable prices. It's more about, again, doing the work, since I have zero experience with welding). I'm taking some...

    1972 Mustang Coupe 302

    Nah, it's all good. I had no illusions about not spending money on the rest, that wasn't where I was going with it. It was more about the process...you make some small progress and then run into a major issue that needs to be addressed. Plus admittedly, I am one of those guys who is wired to get...

    Free Free in Orlando - 72 Coupe rear and front seats for restore

    I found replacement seats for the coupe and I don't have the desire or the time to have these restored. I've been seeing people on eBay and online selling worse condition ones for ridiculous amounts, which boggles my mind, so I'm happy to pay these forward to someone here on the forum if...

    1972 Mustang Coupe 302

    All - Before I put these on the Parts for Sale for free...(simply because I'm not exactly sure they are worth selling, nor do I want to make a buck off them)...I thought I'd get your thoughts. I found replacement seats for the coupe and I don't have the desire or the time to have these restored...

    Taillight fix

    Thought I would give Sheriff a shout out here. I used this post to do exactly the same job on the coupe tonight. Same amazon parts, same process and the taillights look great. Really bright and quite a significant difference. Discovered my backup lights don't work at all...but the reds look...

    1972 Mustang Coupe 302

    Thanks Bill. Pretty happy with the way she's running. Putting the new fuel tank in this weekend and then I think the next items up on the Price is Right are going to be a break conversion and suspension work. In the interim, I did end up signing up for some welding classes and got a Licoln MIG...

    Parts For Sale Trunk and quarter panels free the quaters are the rear lower for each side

    I'll second that. So far everyone on here has somehow directed me to answers on everything I've done with the coupe so far. This forum is the reason I'm as far along as I am. - PBR

    1972 Mustang Coupe 302

    Much appreciated. Definitely will do the steel line flush and the new hoses when I do the tank install. The rust repair will definitely be a quandary, and once all the engine work and component work is done, will have to be something I address before anything pretty goes on this thing...

    Thanks bud. What ended up going on with yours? Just too much to handle mechanically?

    1972 Mustang Coupe 302

    Thanks Bill, it's definitely coming along. Fuel pump admittedly was all about the angle and to some of the others advice, was more about "moving things out of the way, rather than battling them". Once I removed the power steering unit and the AC platform, I was able to get the right angle on...

    1972 Mustang Coupe 302

    Just a small update with some before and after's. She's running top notch now, which was a blessing considering I wasn't sure how much I was going to discover with the engine. Luckily, the engine was solid...just a lot of half-assed fixes and non-care prior to me getting it. Got the fuel pump...
