So there's 73 convertible with rebuilt engine and trans near me for $9k. Would you buy it even if you dont need one just because price is good?

Rear seats only have cotton and horse hair. Definitely should replace all of the padding. Front seat have foam, mine is stinky and after airing it out for a month it's still there. Might just spend $300ish on new front seat foam.

Yes, I used rust converter on my passenger seat frame. It dries shiny and smooth, paint adhesion might not be the best. So on these frames desided to used Rustoleum Professional. What type of converter do you use?

Planning to reuse my original upholstery, had it in the sun all day to get some stink out (vinyl side was down) . Probably will use deodorizer spray. Spray completely removed sigaret smoke from Jeeep softop, so should do the job on fabric/foam. Washed wire/plasticky mash which straches over...

Thanks, these must have not been used much. Original (non ford preplacement) center caps with 5 bolt holes and none of the bolts are broken off. Replacement Ford Pat's had 3 bolt holes in center caps, which is great when your wheels have broken bolts. I have 4 NOS replacement part for the...

Scrubed rust off my rear seat frames, bought new padding and painted frames with rustoleum enamel.

Picked up a spare set of wheels reasonably priced in better condition then my original. This way I can drive the car while resurfacing and polishing original. Yes I did get 4, its between seats.

Good idea. This one tig already welded and painted, so will assemble as is. Driver side is next, will do more reinforcement there.

Finally had opportunity to rustproof and pain my seat frame. Yes, I will put metal tag on the seat spring when fully dry.

How much for 2 good lenses? Mine housings looks similar or better, but yellow have some spiwerwebing cracks. I assume housing comes off.

This forum is nowhere as bad as FB. They are people fro Fargo ND lol who always scam people.

Please let me know your best price for the second one shipped to Muskegon. Thanks.

Yes, send pictures of what you have. I would attempt to repair or wheel wrap if failed at repair.

Thanks, I will compare them with mine this weekend. Do you have 69-73 3 spoke steering wheel or 71 - 73 2 spoke steering wheel?.

Looking for 71 running lights that go into mach 1 grill, in good condition without cracks.

Run some test on it, next change or just grab sample every 500 mi. Send it to BlackstoneLabs. I used to use them every oil change, as I abuse my late model cars, to nail down good oil and change frequency. My testing limed up to Ratblog testing, Mobil 1 synthetic was not ideal for elevated...

Maybe if you lived in 70s, that would be a good rule to go by. Dont buy "raceengine" oils, they are not formulated for street engines and will cause premature ware. A flat tappet engine with higher than stock valve springs should have 1000 to 1200 PPM ZDDP. Now days oil manufacturers substitute...

Too much zink is as bad as not enough. Around 1000ppm is ideal. Usualy 30 weight oil is the right one to go with. Majority go with 10w-30, but 5w-30 is same weight when warm or hot and can be found with ideal zink concentration and better ware protection. Quaker State Synthetic. Zink is not...

Go extra mile and reinforce as much as you can. Inner rocker panels and subframe.

Nice, what wire did you use? Usually I see people use metal zip ties. Also did you end up using 2 rolls of 50'? My 73 vert 351c came with long tube heades. Would like to cut down on all that heat.
