I have the Boss chassis and engine books in PDF form. I'll PM them to you.

I've had both on the same exact setup, and as others have said, I'm on the h-pipe camp. You won't notice any power difference, and whatever little horsepower difference there is, you can count on one hand. So don't let that be a deciding factor. The h-pipe has a deeper, throatier sound...

You're more than welcome to come by anytime and take measurements, though mine may not be the straightest example, not by a long shot. I have the rear bumper off already, so whenever I have a few minutes this weekend I'll remove the rear valance and take pictures.

Hi Mila, glad to have you on here. We all come from different backgrounds and have different life stories, and love for these Mustangs bring us all together. We welcome you to the group and hope you get lots of good info and resources from this site, as most of us have. Your '71 is gorgeous...

When that Windsible Kickstarter ( https://www.fun-tech-lab.com/ ) gets rolling, one of us may need to buy one and test some 71-73 scale models to see how effective the aerodynamics are on these cars. I've always thought most of the aero bits on 71-73s were gimmicks, just typical 1970s boy racer...

I'm surprised there aren't any aftermarket seat extenders for our cars... I'm sure lots of people would buy them, myself included. I'm 5'10" and even I feel like I'm way too close to the steering wheel. I can't properly extend my arms to a comfortable driving position, can't imagine the tall...

Glad to have you back! Looking forward to seeing the progress, and good luck!

Nothing like the sound of a Cleveland. Hopefully you do get the privilege of having a 351 in your next ride 🤞

That could've definitely ended way worse than it did, so thank your lucky stars the car held you in tightly. I had a similar accident where my car hydroplaned at around 50mph, luckily there was a median wall on the highway and I didn't flip. But my car was banged up real good. In my case, I...

Welcome to the forum, from your neighbor (sort of) in Davie.

Yup… still no affordable Monte Carlo bar that fits our cars. To my knowledge, NPD still hasn’t retooled theirs, either. Suppliers are missing out on a nice cash grab from the 71-73 crowd.

As someone who has looked into EVs as a possible daily driver alternative because of their low-maintenance and high-efficiency nature, I still get turned off by a few factors. Environmental damage from lithium mining, the slave labor to produce it, EV infrastructure, software issues, the danger...

Love this. I guess we'll have exhaust sounds for the foreseeable future 🙌

I’m in the “no emblems” camp. Eventually I want a mostly stock-looking body, but with most of the visual clutter gone. I think it helps accentuate the nice body lines when the car has no graphics or emblems. I’ve removed the fender and rear emblems, as well as the rear trim panel and holes, and...

Hoping at least one of my girls gets the bug and enjoys working on cars with me. You got lucky, not only for having a kid that got into cars, but one that actually had a '72 Mustang on her list. Hope you two have fun fixing it up, looks nice for sure. You could probably edit the videos and stick...

Thank you! Yes, that's correct, although the guy who mixed the paint many years ago didn't get it quite right. It's a touch bluer than the original color (you can't really tell in the picture though). Acapulco blue is my all-time favorite Mustang color.

Sweet coupe! Welcome to the non-fastback club :cool: Our cars aren't in the tier where color affects value that much, so I'd say it's not a big deal. In 20-30 years when these cars are worth a huge amount (as most classics will by that point) then numbers matching it will probably be the way to...

This is AMAZING. Thanks Don!

Welcome from sunny and grossly hot South Florida! Badass ride with a badass story to boot. Gramp's gift has now made the car transcend from just being a cool vintage Mustang, to a family heirloom with sentimental value. May it serve you well and give you many years of joy, just as I'm sure it...

I second this one. I own this book and it's loaded with diagrams, pictures, and parts lists.
