    Hi to all, I'm seeking advice or help in regards my stock, standard factory hood on my '73 Mustang. Sorry, if this topic has been covered before. Story goes that this hood was an original factory hood that came with the car when i bought it back in 2011. My thinking was always to keep the hood...

    New 2024 Mustang

    As expected, there is a flurry of Utube video reports coming in on the new model release to be viewed. I've caught up with about 15 or so at this stage, and interestingly, they all seem to be whistling a similar tune. Their overall reactions seems to be quite positive. At this stage, my overall...

    Paint color PS cooler

    Hi to all, As said above, black is the go. Satin semi gloss or matt black are both acceptable. I shot mine in satin lacquer. Lacquer is the go to paint, as you can spray or pencil touch up the cooler if needed later on without any fuss or trouble. See my pic below as a basic reference in...

    Sold 1973 Convertible

    Hi Gilbert, I own a '73 Vert with the original Gold Glow factory paint in good condition. This original paint is in fact a metallic finish. The interesting thing about this color, is the type of metallic that was used originally in the factory formula. This metallic gives that appearance of...

    Trunk lid will not stay open

    Hi to all, Around 2014, i posted a thread /tutorial about installing a gas lift setup for my '73 Vert trunk lid that would not stay up after i installed my rear spoiler. My car had standard factory trunk torsion bars. The post was eliminated and lost when the Forum was upgraded a while ago. See...

    Hi to all again, Just wanted to make a final point here to my above explanation post on the mirror thing. Back in 2016 when i was going to jump in and start my mirror project, part of my initial research took in investigating other car brand assembled external sports mirrors setups that came...

    Electric mirrors anyone?

    Hi Eric, Hope your traveling OK these days. Hey, i thought i would ask you out of curiosity, what brand or style of power windows and door locks did you end up getting for your Mustang, and what did you think of the windows you installed? Thinking about going down that road myself. Thanks, Greg.:)

    Hood scoops 71 Mach 1

    Hi again Kilgon, Thanks for your feedback. As to exactly what is happening with your temp increase situation appears to be somewhat of a mystery. In any case, it shows that you are not gaining or benefiting, in lower running temps, from having drilled out the scoop hole bungs. In my case as i...

    Hood scoops 71 Mach 1

    Lookin' good there Kilgon! Way to go! Driving around, see if you notice any changes with your temp gauge as i did with mine after drilling out the bungs. Regards the hood lock thing - i've always seen them as mainly a cosmetic deal, but is a good idea to install them anyway, as a kind of good...

    Hood scoops 71 Mach 1

    Don't remove them - drill 'em! (sorry Tim) I drilled my plastic scoop bungs out last year for attempting to let more cooler fresh air move through the top end of the engine, (air cleaner area)which should help or assist to some extent the engine running cooler when the car is in motion. To what...

Sorry to report that when the Forum got a major upgrade a while ago, the tech boys did not transfer the original thread, and the workings of it to the new upgraded Forum .
