    Not a Mustang but I Couldn't Resist

    That's a very cool car for just fun, too! Well done, Sir, congratulations! A cool color combination, too. Have fun, John! And do not forget to keep us up to date with the Roadrunner - I am waiting... 😉

    Hood scoops 71 Mach 1

    Done without the wood, measured exactly, drilling from the inside, scared, but went easy. Filed around the cut and test fitted the locks so they have a little bit room in the hole and are not too tight in there. Then paint on the edge and install - or paint the whole hood as I did...

    RIBS 71 convertible build JUNE 21 till??

    Great progress! I would paint it blue like your other blue interior items. Looks more integrated and more factory in my opinion.

    Occasional smoke on start up.

    Yeah, +1! I have installed my intake a few months ago again after a carb leak and some failed valley gaskets. I will retorque the bolts after the engine has had its first warm up to be safe!

    Hood scoops 71 Mach 1

    In 71/72 you had to order ram air to get the twist locks and the tutone on your NACA hood, 351c and 429. On the Boss both was standard. In 73 you could order the twist locks and tutone treatment separately, ram air was only available for the 2V cars. The NACA hood was standard for all 71-73...

    I don't think so, you can fish them out. I have my glass still out there anyway...

    Occasional smoke on start up.

    After reading the whole thread I would suggest to keep an eye on it but nothing more now. From what I know it is not uncommon that they could smoke a little bit through all their small gaps after some time. I would eventually go one step further and say it's quite normal on a piece of old iron...

    Hood scoops 71 Mach 1

    Help against what? It doesn't hurt anything if you remove the block off plates. It would be something like a fresh air intake. It has been done like that for decades. Me too before I installed ram air. I simply removed the block off plates and did not anything further. If you have an air...

    Awesome find, congratulations!

    Ok I’m puzzled

    Hemikiller is spot on! Most people don't even know about it because previous owners already disconnected them - it could be very annoying. Same was on my car - but as I restored it to factory specs I reconnected it. It buzzes also if you forget the headlights on or the key in the lock and then...

    I’m sorry. I’ve strayed.

    You speak for me! If only I had the money, time, a big garage and own petrol station... But sure I am blessed to have this Mach 1. And a Challenger R/T as a daily. So can't complain. But I know, from time to time the big ol' Hot Wheels Syndrome comes back... Aaah, those cars! I love them -...

    I’m back at it! Green Machine update

    Same here - my youngest one turned 1 two months ago and now he is interested in everything, learns every day something new. It's awesome to watch that again. Can't wait to take him for a cruise too 😉 Thanks for the explanation about the wheel! That are some great tricks - you should have made...

    Mustang Parts supplier

    Here are my personal experiences and recommendations: Don from Ohio Mustang Supply is always top notch, ordered many times from him over the years, has used parts also. For our overseas Mustang owners he used to make packets as cheap as possible so shipping and customs would not eat us alive...
