If the cores are good, Just Dashes can rework them. They have original texture and colors. For the carpet, you need to cut it and then attach a binding to the edges that are not under the stainless trim.

It's possible one or more of the diodes have failed. Should be easy enough to take the alternator in to a parts store and have them test it.

After 50 years, there aren't many NOS parts that can be used without being refurbished. From a personal perspective, I want my car to be as original as possible, within reason. I am building a car that Ford never produced, but my goal it to make it look like they did. I have no schedule and...

Which one are you looking for? Concours correct or something that will work?

Get some flexible ductwork that fits over your exhaust pipes and run it out the garage. Close the garage door but leave enough room for the ducts. Or you can put a pet door in the garage door and run the ducts out the pet door.

I have found Anghel Restorations to be a good resource for concours type information. They have a number of PDF downloads that describe how original suspensions, drivetrains, etc. were put together. The photos of their projects are pretty impressive too.

I haven't decided which way I will go on my car - so I have one set up with woodgrain and a camera case textured one in black. One way to approach it is to match the door panels. Black may look better with standard panels, woodgrained better with deluxe panels.

As a general comment, AMK is easy to work with as far as locating fasteners that aren't in any of their kits. If you have a part number from the Ford parts manual, they can usually supply what you need. As an example, AMK doesn't have a kit for the pedal support or steering column brackets...

Worn valve guides, most likely. Oil gets past while the engine is not running.

I think they are for the automatic seatback latch releases. Given the power window switches on your car, I think it is too early for the seatbelt warning system.

The near holes are for lower bumper guards. The farther ones are for the lower grille support bracket.

A photo might help. Also, the front valence is the part that ties the front fenders together below the front bumper.

What year car?

A photo might help - you may have something else installed incorrectly.

Heat, penetrating oil and patience.

Or your passenger?

Most people here know OEM wiring, not custom stuff. So if they ask for additional information, they are looking for more context to understand your problem. There are downloadable versions of the wiring diagrams available on the site. The '73 diagram is here...

I would also strongly recommend the assembly manuals for your car.

You might try grabbing the wires at the back of the connectors and wiggle them around a bit with some needlenose pliers. You can often find loose wires and pins without risking the connector. That's a bit harder on the main connector, but if you can get the pliers on the wire, it's an alternative.
