Say... I heard there's another Big Blue in town. I'm having my lawyer send a cease & desist letter.  Just f*ckin around; love the ride, good canvas to start with. Can't wait to see the progress on it! 

Hi Jaime! Welcome to the forum man, hope you get some quality entertainment here. Thanks for joining  ::thumb::

I may be in the minority, but I bought a coupe over a sportsroof purely by aesthetic preference. Not because of price or because it was what I had access to. In fact, I had a choice at the time between a very basic v8 coupe and a red Mach1 (both '71s), and I just loved the coupe's body lines...

Hi Pheonix, welcome from Miami! What a feeling to finally have the car you've been keeping an eye on all that time. Same thing happened to me with my coupe many years ago. Even had a mach1 available for the same price, and I was so set on the damn coupe I just went for it the moment the...

Hi Bling, Welcome to the forum! You should post up pics of your car. I'm on the same boat as you as far as wanting the old grand am/nascar/road racer look. I also debated sizes for the wheels and ended up with 15s to keep true to the era. You can see it here...

Back when I bought my coupe in 2003, I was torn between it and a red Mach 1, both for sale in my area. Chose the coupe. I always liked them for some reason, and it wasn't just because of the better visibility. I love the buttresses and the smaller feel of the cabin. Then again, I've always...

Nice! Didn't see that, glad he did the good deed. Thanks for pointing it out ::thumb::

If any of you gentlemen have an extra template or cutout or whatever you used to paint your hood and want me to convert it to a digital format, let me know. I work at a large format print shop and we wrap cars. I can make a cut file that any vinyl shop can use and I can post in on here free of...

Third thumbs up for the steering wheel. I had a small grant steering wheel and the steering felt nice and stiff. Switched to an original wheel and now it feels likes can turn the wheel if I blow hard enough. The wheel alone will make a difference, in case you're going the cheaper route first.

Well you do have a point there lol. At the same time I feel like being able to inform our community is worth the small odds.

Good investment! I have an alarm and a CarLink GPS on mine and have to say that the peace of mind is worth the price of admission. I hid any traces of it so an unsuspecting thief doesn't know he's being tracked. Definitely recommend one to anyone with a prized classic. Now you know your baby is...

A warm welcome from sunny Miami! Cool ride. At first glance it reminded me of the Mustang from Deathproof. Make yourself at home and cheers to a new member of this great community!

I bet hearing that your pistons are 40-over was pretty exciting news! Who knows what other surprises are in there. Hopefully you can get the engine firing on all eight and sorted out without spending too much. Anyway, PM me your address and I'll send you the linkage. Eh, what the hell, I'll pay...

Nice project! Looks a little rough around the edges but solid enough to be worth the work. Too bad you didn't come around a few months earlier, I had a complete, rust-free roof from a donor car that I was using to fix my own Mustang. I ended up giving the roof to my neighbor, who probably sold...

I still have to pass by and show you the car in person, right after I fix the giant brake leak that sprung this past weekend and tune it a little. Eleanor's hood looks great on it, thanks for that piece. Completely changes the car's look. You did sell me the rear bumper from a '73. I still have...

Yup! Definitely the right decision. I know you've been through plenty of wheel combinations, so a green light from you was peace of mind lol. The D-Windows are 15x8s all around. The front tires are 245/60/15 and the rears are 275/60/15.

Thanks fellas!!! Thanks Don! Yeah I'm going to leave the back area black. There will be a minimal amount of chrome. Eventually I want it to have an old NASCAR/TransAm fusion look.

Woohoo! Finally got the old girl back on her feet! Some of you may remember that I crashed my poor Big Blue during the latter half of 2013. Here's the thread: http://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-crashed-the-mustang Anyway, just want to announce that after lots of persistence, parts-gathering...

I used to be into '65-'68 Mustangs when I was a kid, way before I got bit by the "Clydesdale" bug. One day, during my teens, my dad gave me a book that covered first generation Mustangs, and that's when I first took notice of the '71-'73s. I had never seen one in person, and thought they looked...

This is EXACTLY what I need. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I'll be purchasing these items from you tomorrow or Saturday after my paycheck clears. Thanks!!!
