I know I am late to this discussion, but since you mentioned the waterproof thing, I thought I’d chime in. I have experimented a little bit with different outside car covers over the years. I live in North Carolina, where the sun can be fairly rough, and I have had more old cars than garage...

Exhaust manifolds for this cat.    My opinion is admittedly very subjective.  I like driver cars and headers have caused me too many headaches in the past.  To be fair, I’ve never sprung for really nice ceramic-coated ones (though the ones I used were not cheapo ones either) so they quickly...

You always want one you haven’t got. I occasionally look for a good fastback myself! But I do really like the verts!

I have one of each. Go with glass. 

Dude, that is amazing. Well done. That guy should be very appreciative.    One minor question; is he planning to leave the epoxy primer alone in the engine compartment?  I ask because I have noticed that over time that finish becomes chalky and a little brittle. My car has it all over the...

Welcome from NC. Great car, man.  +1 on the endorsement for the Rocketman tach. 

Bummer about the paint job quality but for what it’s worth I dig the color. 

I also like the contrast. Maybe if you find the right color try the armrest pad by itself in blue to see if it looks good as an accent?

You’re not kidding about that problem. I am very conscientious when opening or shutting the hood so it doesn’t skew left or right when the corner of the hood and fender are so close. If I let the hood wander a little left or right, they can touch and scrape.  Learned the hard way; that was the...

Now that you mention it, I think I was remembering incorrectly; it must have been one of the forward-positioned gears that were the problem because the shift boot pulled it rearward when bolted in. I edited my post to avoid confusion. 

I had a similar problem with my TKO 600, and it was the boot.  I can’t remember for sure what gear it was but the boot was definitely pulling the shifter out of gear.   The problem actually stemmed from the fact that the shifter wasn’t perfectly centered (front/back or side/side) in the tunnel...

If I remember correctly those are a 71 only item.  This dude on ebay was remaking them a while back but they aren’t available at the moment.    https://www.ebay.com/itm/254827475338#vi__app-cvip-panel   My 72 and 73 don’t have them; I don’t think they do much. That said, I did see these...

That is some nice work (both the conversion and the description). Very enlightening. 

Welcome from NC (Greensboro area). Awesome looking vert you have there!

I think Ohio Mustang has them.  https://www.ohiomustang.com/store/order_page.asp?itemid=3324

I have a 72 that I put the rear discs on, and a 73 with drums still on the rear. Both are factory power disc cars.    My 72 rear calipers look nice but the performance difference is negligible. The fact is that the factory front disc/rear drum is pretty good, and most of the braking comes from...

They look really good.  That particular wheel is very cool; modern performance with an aesthetic that has classic muscle-car DNA.  Great choice.

Great to see the little guy. One thing my pastor always quoted to new parents that I’ll pass on: “the days are long but the years are short.”  Now with a 15 and 14 year old I am shocked how right he was.  The progress on the car is awesome!

I guess I am in the minority here, but I am a fan of media blasting. Not sand, but plastic media. It in no way heats up the panels and when my 67 Camaro got finished there were still pencil marks left over from the factory on the body panels. It literally just took the paint. It was pretty cheap...

Mine was named Lazarus because it was raised from the dead.
