Fantastic cars man. You have excellent taste. That 69 is spectacular.    That said, I just can’t get my head around a Mustang as a female. A vette or something, yeah. A boat, I get it. But my muscle cars have always been dudes in my head.

The quarter inch minimum difference is not a hard and fast rule, by any means. It just seemed to be the consensus. I am definitely not sophisticated enough to tell the difference between cars with 1/4” vs 3/8” difference front to back.   The big thing is you don’t want too big of a difference...

Anytime brother. Glad I could help. 

For what it’s worth, I have a 1” bar on my gray ‘72 that came with a suspension kit I bought a few years ago. I like the bar fine, and do think it is a big improvement from stock. Problem is... it is so big an improvement from stock that you need to replace or add a rear one also, otherwise the...

+1 on the Lead Brakes booster. Actually it’s +2; I have one on both of my convertibles. 

Thanks for the compliment brother.  Believe me, the grass is always greener in the other dude’s backyard. That gray vert’s body and paint are very nice but the interior needs a lot of work and the 351 2V is a little tired. I have a 4V in the barn waiting to get rebuilt.  I do like the car very...

Welcome to the site from NC! I am another from the “do what you want with your car” crowd.  The fact is that the convertibles in 71-73 were marketed and styled more as a deluxe, classier design, and if you want them to seem more “muscle car”, in most cases you are going to have to veer from the...

That’s some stiff competition, but yours is the toughest/coolest looking in the bunch. 

I am afraid I am not able to be much more help on the specifics brother. I got mine on Amazon and the brand I have is no longer sold.  I think some web searches will show you several name brands who have various videos touting their strength. It’s an item where I would definitely not buy the...

Stucco fenders?

Will definitely need adapters at a minimum.    I have adapters on mine with zero issues. I don’t really like spacers myself (spacers are just like a big washer with holes which requires longer lug stud/bolts), but a set of good adapters (a disc which bolts in and then supplies new lugs for the...

Blue is 71/72 Black is 73 Easiest way to remember is that in 73, the bottom of the fender extension basically lines up level with the top of the signal cut-out. The 73 bumper doesn’t curl up to meet the fender as much as the 71/72. 

Awesome car!  Welcome from NC. 

Well I don’t mean to focus on the negatives, but seems to me the best way to help is to eliminate a few options. I can’t really weigh some of them (like AC vs overdrive for example) without knowing your personal preferences, but I can tell you several items will do practically nothing other than...

Looks really great man

Here is my frankencoupler when it was getting installed.     It was a mix of all three I believe (original, Lares, Dorman rebuild kit?), but I don’t remember which piece was from which.  Hopefully the front and back image gives you an idea. 

Great looking car!  Welcome from NC. 

Just FYI, getting the right rag joint (coupler) was kind of a hassle for me. If I remember correctly (it was a few years ago), my car ended up with a mixed unit made up of pieces from the dorman rebuild kit, a lares unit, and some of my original. None of the options I could find had everything...

Welcome from NC.  Very cool car brother.

I can get behind the argent stripes for a subtle color scheme, but I’d personally add an argent rocker.  I don’t think the rocker color is always necessary, but I think in white the rocker sans blackout  makes the car a little less sleek and more bulbous.    I definitely understand folks with...
