If your engine temps are comfy, maybe tape-off some of the grille toward the top to reduce the amount of air getting shoved in and cavitating under the hood. Get a 'grille-to-radiator' plate to reduce the amount of 'stray air flow' under the hood (the air going into the grille would be forced...

I was just going to ask the same thing. I know my Hooker Comps are tucked up in there quite nicely with no clearance issues (although, might be a little too close up on the AOD, though).

Thanks! When I first got mine, I'd planned on adding hockey stripes and spoilers... just like everybody else does. I was also thinking 17" Torque Thrust Ds, but noticed everybody at local car shows had those, too. But after spending so much time here at the forums, learning my car's pedigree...

It's 3M DiNoc Black Carbon Fiber vinyl. https://www.amazon.com/3M-CA-421-BLACK-CARBON-Wrapping/dp/B005HYF2IO The way they apply the adhesive allows for mistakes to be corrected during the installation process. It's also super-durable and conforms to oddball shapes very easily. I saw a video...

I wholeheartedly agree on the sentiment that, "Woodgrain is for Country Squire station wagons." LOL!! I replaced all of the woodgrain in my '71 Light Pewter w/black Deluxe Interior Mach 1 w/black carbon fiber vinyl. WAY cheaper than changing out trim panels from Deluxe to Standard. Then...

My experience has been primarily with 4-post lifts, and I 100% recommend a 4-post over a 2-post any day of the week. Drive the car on, have no issues getting in/out of the car, lift it up to a convenient height, and slip the trolley jack(s) into place and raise the car off the drive-on pads if...

Mine is also 'just an H-Code,' meaning not rare or collectible (unless the Marti Report says otherwise, i.e., "1 of 'a low number' with the options listed"). Over the years, I've also come around to the 'wanting to keep it original' mindset... but, still believe that you should build it as you...

Mike and Kevin could give master classes on how to restore these cars. Fine work, Gentlemen!

Welcome from West Texas (San Angelo). Where you at? West Texas is a pretty big (empty) place.

If you're going to post something like this on a specialized forum, a picture or two and a bit more info isn't asking too much. His original post and title are vague enough to hint at selling an entire '71 Boss 351... not just an engine. Misspellings aside, the initial post seemed a little...

That Holley Blue is going to be LOUD! I had a Holley Black on mine, and while it worked really well, it was super loud (as most rotary vane pumps are). I switched to a Holley Mighty Mite, and it's a LOT quieter. It's Gerotor-style (worm-gear, basically). Here's a quick vid of mine running...

I'll be interested to hear how that works out for you. Like I mentioned, I like the Molotow chrome on my scale models, but any kind of handling of the chrome pieces tends to 'rub it off.' (notice the chrome fingerprints on the tires from touching the rims themselves - didn't see that coming)...

I use the Molotow chrome on my model kits, and the paint is good for reproducing chrome on a small scale. However, it's pretty fragile - months later it dulls out to the touch (just like most other chrome paints). I have a can of Duplicolor chrome spray paint, which does the same thing. Even...

My original parts had all sorts of issues - namely, several of the mounting points on the backside were broken off... otherwise, I might've tried to restore them. I just got reproduction parts from Ohio Mustang and National Parts Depot. There's not a fool-proof method of restoring the chrome...

Thanks for the nod, Rio! Yes, I did swap the entire front clip on mine with lots of advice and cheerleading from the fine folks here. My firewall and floor pans (along with the cowl, as I later discovered) were bad as well. I think Dakota will have a better time of it with his sheet metal...

I didn't even get that far with the NPD unit - the bolt pattern for the firewall wasn't even close. I checked P/Ns on the invoice, the part itself, and their website thinking they just sent me the wrong one - they all matched, so just wasn't the right part for the car. I think I was so rapt in...

The box auto parts stores (O'Reilly's, AutoZone, et al) will take your 'core' and ship it off the Cardone to be rebuilt. Since the '71-'73 Mustang is such a niche market, none of those places carry anything stock. You're best bet is to go with GPS Automotive...

Wow! That is NICE! It's also nice to see a 'no stripes & spoilers' car with no stripes and spoilers, for a change.

I have the same Global West SFCs as will e - Love 'em! This is turning out awesome, Vinnie - you do good work! The torque boxes are super-thick, just like the subframes - you should be fine welding directly to them.

Hey Rod - I think it looks great! As someone whose hood is admittedly incorrect myself, I'm in no position to critique. Having been part of the in-depth discussions mentioned by Geoff, it's easy to look at a picture and say, "That's not correct." But at the end of the day, it's almost never...
