Whoa I didn't see that. I'm gonna have this in mind as well. I have a cheaper donor car lined up, but if that falls through, I just might take a look at this one. It seems like its in good enough shape, and 2 grand is fair enough. Thanks for your continued help, I owe you! Yeah, I'm weighing my...

Paul, that's a wonderful story. Pretty much sucks that you had to part out the ol' convertible. But looking at the bright side... your car's spirit lives on! You and your sons must be loving the restoration process, especially the fact that you'll have those special pieces installed on the new...

Sweet ride! Keep representing the coupes!

Yep, no use in being negative. Negativity won't fix the car, amiright? And yeah, I'm truly stunned at the amount of help and advice I've received on the forum. I will be eternally grateful to everyone on here. Truly a great group of people. Haha... I'll take the taillight if I don't get one...

Just received them, and they're exactly what I needed. Much appreciated, good sir. Can't wait to get it measured now. Thanks again! Thanks for the advice, Jeff. Or should I call you Mr. T? I definitely did ask for advice, as I like to weigh everyone's opinions and make a rational decision...

Good, that gives me a beacon of hope for the car lol. I had people stopping and offering to help (very rare here in Miami) and others snapping pictures or putting sad faces through their windows while they stared at a poor wrecked classic. I've cherished every moment I've had with the car... but...

Great! If I can't locate a worthy donor car, I'll send you a PM to get the quarter. I'll decide soon enough. Thanks!! I had started driving the car again recently after a 5 year hiatus, and in my rush to get it rolling, I swapped out its old rusty wheels and cracked tires for my old ranger's...

Great! Thanks!!

Much appreciated. Oh, and I didn't even answer your question. I'm down in Miami, but I'll drive up to the space coast. I'll take a pickup or a trailer or whatever I need, that won't be a problem.

Oh man, that is really great to hear. After I assess the damage this weekend I'm going to be on full parts-search mode, so if i find anything along your route I will definitely let you know. I truly appreciate it, this site really does have the best members of any forum.

Hi Machman, Yeah, his contact info would be great, I'm definitely interested. Don't know where it's located, but I could try to work something out if the price is right. Thanks for the tip!!!!! Man that sucks :/ A few more members and we can form a wrecked Mustang club lol

Agreed. Had it been a recently acquired car or just any other car, for that matter, I wouldn't even think twice about letting it go. My attachment to the car is the ONLY thing that's keeping it around. Financially, I'm aware that it's a money pit and not worth it. But then again, nothing I ever...

Thanks Q, at least that gives me a basic notion of what I'm getting myself into. At this point I'm not even considering getting rid of the car. I'm just mentally preparing myself for the ridiculous amount of dough I need to dish out to get her in shape. Over the years I've put more money into it...

My insurance sucks, but is all I could afford. Now I'm stuck with paying for repairs out of my own pocket. I guess I'll have to find a donor car and then find a shop to do the repairs. I do my own mechanical work, but know zero when it comes to body. Ironically, it has zero mechanical problems...

That could have been it, not sure. It all happened so fast. All I remember was feeling the rear come out to the right and then the car veering left, and it all felt so smooth that I was assured the car just purely hydroplaned. But now I'm gonna have to check the rear end, hadn't even thought of...

Warning: Depressing thread. Yesterday was one of the worst days I've had in a very long time. I was on the expressway going home from work, all the way on the right lane. Something happened which I'm still trying to get a grip on; the rear of the car swung out and the entire car started...

Will do, I'll give him a call tomorrow. Thanks!!! What a shame :( I would've taken it off your hands in a split second. Thanks anyway!!!

Hey everyone, My '71 coupe is rolling around without a grille and looks silly. The original grille was missing the plastic at all the mounting points and was practically hanging on to the bumper, so I removed it. Now I'm looking for a cheap (emphasis on the CHEAP) 71-72 grille. Standard is...

Hmmm... sounds like a very stubborn stain. Well I'm sure some of the suggestions by the members here will work. That stain's got to give in to something. A buddy of mine used to put water resistant white shoe polish on his letters. Can't tell you how effective it was against the weather, but...

I used to have white letter tires and always used Bleche-Wite, which was designed to clean whitewalls. It always worked great for me. I would spray it all over the tire, give it a couple minutes, scrub, then rinse. After the tire was dry, I'd spray a bit of original Armor-All on the tire, spread...
