    NOS full quarter replacement

    It's a funky set of moves to get the full qtr panel in place. I've done it numerous times. Your going to need a few shims or spacers to hold open the roof skin joint. Bending up the tab of the roof panel a little bit is ok since that joint gets welded and covered. You may also need to trim a...

    Radiator Fiberglass Shroud Repair

    As others stated a boat repair guy is what you need. I know a guy who has a mobile fiberglass repair service who also happens to be a car guy. All this guy does is go from boat yard to yard during the summer months doing gel coat fiberglass repair. Hit the local boat yard and they will steer you...

    Suspension Upgrade Advice

    Your correct spherical rod ends allows twist. I hope your one piece design works out. Would be nice to have that ready made for out cars..I would incorporate some sort of locking turnbuckle arrangement to allow for adjustment since most have had aprons replaced etc. And most likely won't be...

    Suspension Upgrade Advice

    Agreed if the rollers are that much just use stock for now..Everybody should be running the camber kit it fixes a known weak link in the suspension stock or not ..There are pictures in my build thread http://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-green-72-fastback-former-429-460?page=12 of how I modded...

    Suspension Upgrade Advice

    The Sot is fully adjustable for height the proper term would be drop..I would say just install stock control arms with roller spring saddles along with the other stuff you already have. I would add the camber kit its cheap. What The camber kit does is to prevent the lower control arm from moving...

    Suspension Upgrade Advice

    To be frank NO the above will give you some gain but not much your still stuck with what is in essence the stock suspension geometry plus a mish mosh of unmatched parts. The brake stuff swaybars steering box are all good. The best money you can spend would be to do the entire street or track...

    door panel repair

    You lucked out I'm in the middle of restoring a set myself with the same problem. I've done it in the past as others have with super glue fiberglass etc. it worked but any future removal of the panel those areas always came back to haunt me. I've abandoned that method. If you want a permanent...

    NEW GLASS INSTALL

    Going into a little more detail on the rear quarter glass, It's really the hardest part since you need to remove the vertical trim from the old glass and install on the new one. Your going to need whats called "seal strip" it's the black rubber that holds the trim to the glass. I couldn't...
