    Trunk Mat

    That's an awesome idea. Seems simple enough to make a template and cut it out to fit. Thank you for the suggestion!

    Rebuild Update

    Thank you! Negative on being able to drive it. First time I will be able to do that is when it is leaving the shop. But on a positive note that should be coming in the next few weeks. I was hoping for it to be ready for Goodguys up in Scottsdale at the end of November, but I don't think that is...

    Trunk Mat

    Question for you DIY'ers. Currently my trunk is completely bare and want to rectify that. I found the trunk mat at NPD, but have any of you made a template? Thought about tracing and cutting one out of fiberboard or something with some rigidity, and gluing carpet on top of it. My 2005 mustang...

    Rebuild Update

    Giving you guys another update that have been following for the last couple years! Interior is finished!! It is currently getting the trac-loc and 3.5 gears installed. After that, all that’s left is freshening up the front suspension components (and the steering wheel). Whether that’s just...

    71 Mach shut down

    If its in the budget I would get it completely rewired. I am dealing with the same problem in mine (although visually yours is much worse), and started from scratch. PO spliced into sections of wiring, used whatever color was on hand, and gave me all kinds of issues. On top of that, distinct...

    Rebuild Update

    Definite mood booster to finally hear it running after 2 years. The ever growing list but something I prepared myself for from the start. On the bright side aside from the exterior everything else will be new as far as mechanical components. Not my initial plan to get that deep into it, way over...

    Rebuild Update

    Keeping those still interested updated! It's is up and running, sounds amazing. Can’t get the tone from the video but in person, she’s a beast. That’s the good news. The bad news is the PO made an absolute mess of the wiring. They knew what went where but anyone else working on it would have no...

    Idle hands hood fix

    The good thing is that it couldn't look worse than it did before I attempted it! Still planning on getting out to that car show in FH this fall.

    Worth keeping old parts?

    Thanks for the insight! Have my old manifolds in the garage, snagged them from the shop yesterday. Will also be picking up the old carb, but the radiator was junk unfortunately. I did opt not to go with electric fans which I was set on based on stories kind of like your own.

    Rebuild Update

    Stopped by the shop today! FiTech and AC is all hooked up, goes to the exhaust shop tomorrow. Once it comes back the heater core will have gotten there to be replaced. New dash pad will go in when the dash comes out.

    Worth keeping old parts?

    I kind of assumed the same. Worst case I can find some local guys here in AZ that might need them. Radiator is in decent shape but with the rebuild went with something better/more efficient. Didn't hold onto the intake, might as well be a boat anchor. I am keeping the carb as I rebuilt it trying...

    Worth keeping old parts?

    Question for you guys since I am torn. My mach 1 is just about wrapped up on the engine rebuild/front end work. Should I keep any of the old parts the shop took off? Upgraded factory manifolds to long tubes, factory 2bbl intake to an edelbrock/EFI system, and a new radiator. I think the radiator...

    Rebuild Update

    I am hoping by end of July or August but haven't been given an exact time table for it. Now that it is in, I am thinking they will want to get it knocked out sooner rather than later. In theory they won't need to go through any wiring minus the additions of fitech/ignition. All my gauges worked...

    Rebuild Update

    Well boys she’s in the shop! Next time she comes out it will be me driving her home. To-do list is rebuilding the A/C, motor/tranny install, Fi-Tech install, 3.5 gears and Trac Loc, and factory front suspension replaced. That’s the extent of the major things. Few odds and ends left. Carpet while...

    Carpet recommendation

    +1 for rock auto. This is the exact kit I ordered back in january. The 4 pieces for the fold down require cutting to fit but zero complaints. ACC 26464260

    Front Side Marker

    I actually went digging in my parts yesterday to verify what I needed, and my extra bezel has both posts! So really all I need to find is one of those acorn cap nuts that threads onto the back. For some reason I thought I was missing a post on each one. But I very much appreciate it!

    Front Side Marker

    Definitely will do! Very long time coming but worth the wait.

    Front Side Marker

    2 weeks away from heading back in! Motor/tranny done, Fitech and fuel tank arrived. The shop has 2 roadrunners that have taken a little longer than expected so pushed back their timeline a little bit. After the install, just minor things to button up. AC/heater core, front suspension...

    Front Side Marker

    I was thinking the same but figured I would ask. I have a "cap" looking thing on one of them that is out, but its also missing a stud. Thinking I might be able to engineer a fix but based on the scoop studs thought they might be something similar. I appreciate it!

    Front Side Marker

    Trying to dig for some info but unable to find it. I have an original front side marker bezel, but it looks to be missing the 2 studs that thread into it, in order to attach the nut on the inside fender well. Does anyone know the size off the top of their head? It looks to be the same size as...
