Do you have the kickdown adjusted correctly?

The few 'big money' or 'just won't' work items include (from the top of my head): Front fenders Front valence Front bumper The grill is different Of course wiring harnesses and such The rear bumper is different too. Engine motor mounts, both the mounts and the seats are unique to the 73 BUT you...

If you are not a DIY person with this kind of stuff most interior or local upholstery shops could set you up as well.

Howdy from Phoenix! You've stumbled on a great place to learn and ask questions. There are a few slight differences between the 71/72 and the 73 but for the most part everything is interchangeable.

Because she's hard to get rid of?

Yeah, it looks pretty solid indeed! I have a 73 drop top. I live in Mesa so if you need to come see one to take pictures or whatever let me know.

Good looking car! And it has the old school rake and slapper bars!

Greetings from Phoenix! That's a really sharp Mach1!

Welcome to the forum! Good looking car!

Those were hold downs for shipping.

That should work fine. I am not sure how it came out of the factory but I would guess they have the assembled booster with the boot and they slapped the gasket on.

I wouldn't use them to break a nut free. Just in those tight spots when the nut isn't moving by hand. Of course an open end wrench can do the job, you just have to turn it over a few dozen times. But well all know that 'smart' feeling when you have a situation and you say 'hey, I have the...

Those look pretty cool. This is how I try to roll too. There are just certain times the correct tool keep a job at 10 minutes instead of 2 hours!

This was my thought too. Although it usually takes a few years to adopt. I did a quick search and it appears that many of the AC compressors for cars us a much higher voltage (144v or greater). That's just a 30 second review but it makes sense. That's going to be one of the downsides...

Of course 'terrible' is a relative term. Our cars are 50 year old technology based on even older designs. They won't compare to the technology of newer cars, especially the chassis and suspension. Corvettes, even the older ones, had the advantage of less weight, full frames and generally...

Thanks! Do what you can, it doesn't have to be perfect. Reading this post was much much easier, I can usually figure it out if there is some punctuation.

Well, hopefully we will be able to keep it all mustang related. Although many of us will make occasional personal jokes about ourselves being old farts and such. I haven't read many of your responses, only because I find it difficult to follow along when no punctuation is used. And while...

Howdy from Phoenix. I would start by doing an inventory of what you do have. I am assuming the butt wipes who stole the engine and transmission were not particularly careful about the removal. They certainly didn't keep track of and organize all of the bolts and parts that were removed...

That looks really solid. Great find!

Two speeds were not an original option on our cars. I poked around and the Ford two speed doesn't have the correct bolt pattern for our engines. I have to admit I am very curious. I would love to hear a video of it.
