Thank you

So I ordered through CJ Pony Parts the leaf spring kits which came with U Bolts. I am told that the U Bolts did not fit, they were too tight around the axle. It said OEM replacement fit so I thought I was gonna be good. I looked at NPD for replacements and the comments read about people...

Welcome. I have a 72 Mach 1 and this forum turned me onto a registry that is compiling all of these cars in one collective area is your interested https://www.isomustangs.org/Registry.aspx

It’s funny how that color combo is not an option for cars that I have seen or am aware of other than on Dodge. I’ve seen it on. There current Challengers, but even still, it’s not a common color choice. Years ago when the new challenger was out I sat in one in a show room and it was all black...

Thank you

Very handy. Love diagrams. Thanks

That is a great and helpful post. Me piecing my spreadsheet together is me wondering what am I missing. And then it on time and feeling I should be done is where I’m at now. Thanks.

Oh the bolt and clip sets are a good little finished look and yes how hard is it to get to again. Good points. Thanks.

4th build! That’s impressive. What are some of the small finish details you’ve seen get overlooked, missed, forgotten or regretted not doing more with?

A multiple phased plan, I like the breakdown. Plans don’t always work as thought but to have a plan clears a direction forward and sometimes that’s enough to figure the rest out as we go as long as we are moving forward. For me internal engine pieces, I think it was the crank, upholstery and...

I cautionary tale I have heard before. It is noted. I’m in a state of momentum with it right now that I don’t plan on backing off, life changes it’s plan for us all the time so who knows. I do have other projects but not with cars so hopefully I’ll be safe from that. Thanks.

Oh ya, I’ve done that too. I’ve spent the last few days creating a spreadsheet from all my receipts to identify how much I’m spending at each company as well as identifying duplicate purchases for returns and total costs. I wish I started this earlier. Yes. Good point. Thanks.

And for personal taste and similar reasons for mine, I’m adding quad power windows in my 72 Mach 1. It seems as though that was not an option either or if so no one took it. Lol

Looking from input from experience, when doing your restorations, what are some of the small details that you overlooked that you regretted or had to go back and address? I keep thinking I have all the detail planned and needed items purchased and on stand by waiting for the point of progress...

That was over the top sir. An obvious labor of love. Great job!

Ultimately if they fit than I’ll be okay because for the look I’m going for, the 1970 patter is a better look. I appreciate your input. Thanks.

So like with everything I seem to touch, nothing goes easy and I have quirky issues. Dealing with my upholstery guy and being told I’m good, but looking for independent confirmation. Try to follow this. I have 1972 Mach 1 with Thin Blue Line theme. That stripe is a horizontal stripe. 1972 seat...

That's great to hear. Thanks

In speaking with a rep yesterday, they confirmed they only do interior restorations (no Endura bumpers) and will give me a quote for a rear defrost switch and bezel after I send them pictures, of which i will share with the forum for individual edification and potential application to other...

Thank you very much. That’s good to know
