    DODGY BAD RUST REPAIRS ON UTUBE

    Hi to all, Had to comment on this video that came across my desk recently. What a shocker! This video features a guy that decided to post a U Tube video on trying to repair a badly rusted out inner/ outer skin on a rear wheel arch location. I was posting and commenting a few months ago about...

    Paint help.

    Hi Cal, Happy to jump in here with some sound basic advice. Reading your post, i got the impression that the car you own now and the present color it is, will be short lived as you intend to get serious and upgrade the whole paint work with a respray and color change back to Ivy Glow Metallic...

    Hi Folks, Given that this is an off topic post, i had to slip it in for fun and great eye candy value. Our 1,2,3 Mustangs appear a few times as well. Enjoy! Greg. :)

    convertible interior recommendation needed

    Hi Renxus, They are different. Here is a link to a previous thread/post on ginger interior paint colors/ codes etc. It should be of great help to you. Just remember that if you try to import rattle can paints to Estonia from the US, THEN SHIPPING FLAMMABLE GOODS WOULD BE A PROBLEM. You would...

    AUSTIN VERT COMMENTS ON REAR SPOILERS.

    Hi Spike, Thanks for your reply and feedback. I don't want to get into some kind of long winded debate on this topic per say, but reading through your reply, leaves me somewhat confused as to your explanations of upside down wings/ airplane winged shaped cross sections/wings not spoilers/...

    AUSTIN VERT COMMENTS ON REAR SPOILERS.

    Hi to all, First up apologies to all, as this topic has been somewhat done to death over the years. But i did want to revisit it, as i wanted to bring home a couple of points that i thought needed clarifying to some extent. It basically concerns the spoiler mounting angles of our '71-'73...

    AUSTIN VERT TALKS ABOUT 1973 MUSTANG ENGINE MOUNTINGS.

    Hi to all, My apologies if my discussion below has been covered before regarding 1973 engine mountings. I know there has been a lot spoken about 1,2,3 mounts in the past, but for me, i am still in the dark somewhat as to actually finding workable solutions to replacing the motor mounts in my...

    Urethane Front Bumper Repair

    Hi kc, Working out how much base coat needed to refinish your front bar has variations to it. By that i mean, there are factors which you need to take into account. For example, are you spraying solid color base coat or metallic base coat ? The covering power of metallic base coats varies...

    DECENT MONEY ON RECENT MACH 1 SALE

    Hi Sheriff, In my opinion, i think selling prices for our 1,2,3's over the last decade have seen a steady increase year by year, and are still on the rise. Two things going on there - 1. The classic car market scene has being doing the same over the last decade, and our Mustangs are caught up...

    DECENT MONEY ON RECENT MACH 1 SALE

    Hi to all, Just spotted this recent sale listed on Hemmings auctions site. A private seller on a '72 Mach 1 selling at auction for $55,230.00 US. An interesting result and not too bad! The starting bid was $5,000.00 and steadily climbed till the auction ended. Some of the key history of the...

    convertible interior recommendation needed

    Hi Gus, From a pro spray painters point of view, and not to get too technical here, i would basically say that when it comes to any type of paint/dye coating, you will NOT get the same or better durability/performance/wear&tear than any new factory produced vinyl or plastic material. That...

    yet another tire thread (295/50R15 on 15x8)

    Sorry Tony, I did not realize that you had upgraded your wheels a such. My mistake there.:rolleyes: As a cross reference see below sales spec charts from an Australian company selling B F Goodrich T/A radials. Interesting indeed. Many thanks, Greg

    yet another tire thread (295/50R15 on 15x8)

    Hi Tony, Just stumbled on this older thread, and wanted to respond with your tire and rim setups you are running. With all respect, my involvement with tire and rim combo setups for our 1,2,3's over the last 12 years or so running 15inch dia rims, has shown me the correct and safest...

    Austin Vert's Grille Makeover Project.

    OK, that solves the mystery. Your initial, first reply refers to the '71 '72 grille purchase options with the attached moldings, and does not apply to any '73 grille and molding setups. The devil is in the details it seems. :)

    Austin Vert's Grille Makeover Project.

    Hi there 351c, Thanks for your helpful input on my grille resto blog. Reading your brief reply, my first impression was gee, ok, that sounds like a good idea to make life easier for the 1973 Mustang boys. I thought that the only hangup with the molding already installed on the grille body...
