They are softer than the originals, no markings. Smells kinda like urethane. I went to the thrift shop yesterday and picked up a cheap crock pot. Used synthetic fabric dye on them with good results. Had the dye around 180-190 degrees for a couple hours. Pulled them out and they were a bit...

I ordered up the standalone one from https://www.viatrack.ca/ With a new generic knock sensor and shipping to the US it was $103. Will report back in a month or two on it. Right now my car isn’t roadworthy.

That is pretty cool. Would make me feel better on a road trip where I am getting fuel from unknown sources.

Pulled it outside for it to bake in the sun. Took a pic before I pulled it back in. Paint cure is almost to the point where I will start putting it back together.

Copy- Thanks! I need to figure out a way to make mine darker. They contrast way too much with my brown painted car and bumpers.

What brand are those? They look darker than the Daniel Carpenter ones. I’ll look for a diagram.

I know I want them darker, I wish I knew what material they are. Daniel carpenter vs ones off my car. Wonder if DC would do a run in black for those that want em.

This look right or wrong?

The article cleared up the NACA vs NASA name for me. Comment section was gold. Some commenters are absolutely adamant that 71-73s don’t count, but do count other NACA designs that break the plane of the shape they are installed in.

Any resources for order of operations during reassembly of the car? Assembly manual seems to show what goes where, but not when to install. Mainly looking for resources on front of the car.

I really wish I still had the pre-disassembly pics of my 71. Curious if mine had one.

Glioblastoma is an unforgiving cancer. I am sorry you and your spouse had to experience its path of destruction. Rest up & morn however you see fit. Peter

That is a new one. Maybe they didn’t find the fill plug on the 3rd member?

Normally ACP makes decent stuff, but on all of the front trim pieces I have tried it seems like they are trimming casting flash off WAY too aggressively and rounding / under sizing finished parts. It is unfortunate because it looks like the quality would be fine if they took away the industrial...

Opentracker racing sells boxed LCAs and kits to box your own. The OEM style lower control arms are stamped steel. Boxing them in by welding a shaped section of steel turns them into a box shape from a “U” shape and adds rigidity.

Looking under the front valance do the strut rods have equal length threads visible (past the nut)? The strut rods are the 7/8” ish diameter rods that are bolted to your lower control arms that connect to the front crossmember with big rubber bushings. The position of the strut rods alters...

Cool cars. I used to have quite the parts stash but liquidated it about 15 years ago. I wouldn’t mind owning one again.

Is that a 2002 next to the stang?
