This is very cool! I bought a set of Oracle H4s w/Halos for my Jeep, and had to trim the factory buckets just a little to fit them. I was so pleased with the almost OEM look of these newer lights, that I've been kicking around a set for the Mach 1. Here's what they Oracles look like next to...

Very Nice, OpiemusRex! It reminds me of the one I saw in the car that inspired me to get mine.

I love those Bosch guages - I replaced my Ammeter with a Voltmeter and just wired it as aftermarket, but I pulled the gauge apart to fit in a little better with the other factory gauges. I'm thinking I might eventually replace the others with their Bosch counterparts and do the same thing, but...

Welcome from West Texas! Mine looked very similar when I got it (right down to the wheels), although I think yours is a much nicer starting point. Glad you got it running - it also looks like you have a lot of viable parts you can clean-up and re-use. Good for you! Keep us posted on your...

I swapped my FMX out for an AOD transmission I scored from a buddy who was swapping for a T-5 in his '89 5.0 Mustang GT. The shifter action is opposite of the standard FMX/C4/C6 shifters our car came with, so I used the shifter (cable and all) that came with the AOD. The big advantage is that...

The rear view mirror display options are lot better these days than the one I found for mine back in 2014. It was a Pyle unit that clipped onto the existing mirror, and was clunky to use and looked out of place. I'm looking at a newer unit that replaces the RVM altogether and even have a...

I think possibly the main dash assembly might be rotated a bit. If you can get the bottom portion to rotated forward (toward the firewall a few inches) that should put you in the right place... provided the center stack bezel is fitted properly up against the sheet metal dash assembly. Here's...

Welcome from West Texas. VERY cool, and I love the B&M Megashifter... although, after seeing how much of the center console was sacrificed for it, I'm glad I haven't gotten one for mine yet.

The entire Ram Air system is missing, actually... including the hood with the hood locks, plenum, plumbing and correct TuTone hood paint. The only part of the Ram Air that survived was the decals, and the call-out on the Marti Report. Puzzling. You'd think that if it showed up in the Marti...

It's not THAT bad. LOL!

Does it have to be running? :cool:

Take a pill - we're not arguing here, just stating our opinions that happen to differ. For instance, unless you're familiar with the car and/or the owner, I would almost have to assume the owner's not being completely honest. I admit that I'm jaded on these things because when I was working...

For THAT kind of money for an H-Code, it had better well be spot-on and correct! This seller wants people to think it's a more valuable M-Code (351C-4V) car from initial impression. How many H-Codes have you ever seen with 351-4V engines? Granted, it's probably either 'just a decal' mistake...

Agreed. I know mine's not perfect, and literally should've been sent to the junkyard, but at least my gaps aren't THAT bad, I'm sticking with as many correct options, and my car doesn't misrepresent itself when bounced against the VIN and/or Marti report.

I noticed that the dash trim bezels originally had the deluxe chrome trim, but were just painted over (and not very well). 351-4V (in an H-Code) and added on Ram Air (with the wrong Ram Air decals on the hood). The front spoiler wasn't installed correctly, and yeah - painted chrome front...

Awesome work and Nice Car! Your shop is quite impressive as well.

Is it worth restoring? You have to ask yourself: How bad do you want it? How long can you wait to have it? How far are you willing to go? How much money are you willing to spend? How supportive is your family/friends? What are your plans for the car when it's finally 'done?' Anything is worth...

I like the accent line immediately under the quarter windows making the turn and heading toward the trunk. That's some thing Ford should've done from the factory. Some of those shots make the car look too much like an AMX/Javelin, though.

How about a set of 14x7 steelies with some sport caps shod with some no-name white walls I pulled from my pal Jim's '63 1/2 Galaxie 500 for rollers after he upgraded to his new wheels? That didn't last long, however. New Cragar S/Ss w/Cooper Cobras (15x8 - 245/60R15 front, 15x10 -...

I guess I'm one of the weirdos that actually likes the original Mustang script. I had a set of smoke cut-to-fit headlight covers on my '82 Mustang, and put that script on the outside lower corner of the driver side cover. Looked pretty cool at the time, I thought. But then I bought a set of...
