Definitely! Leave em outside in the summer for about 20 minutes and that should be enough!

Luckily my back seat is in pretty great shape, besides needing a pretty thorough cleaning. Seat upholstery is definitely on my list, although its at the bottom slightly above paint. Doing "free" things right now to build up my motor/tranny rebuild fund.

Well while I’m waiting for funds to have my motor rebuilt, I figured I would address the glaring surface rust spots on my 73. Before you all get too critical, I’m not worried about what it looks like, since it will need to be painted anyways. But, sanded down the spots close to bare metal, have...

Oddly enough it was clipped underneath the passenger seat, but there was a connection there. What would it go to? Didn't have one on the driver side, but the seat belt buzzer goes off if its not buckled in the driver seat.

Yep it was pretty easy. The only minor pain was getting the spring loaded side bolted in first, but after that it was a breeze. Need to pick up a new buckle for the passenger seat though. Who spring/button release assembly is gone

Yeah those look really well done. I think we might have the same car to an extent! Mine was originally the pewter silver, or what’s left of it. My headliner is currently deleted, so that’s okay. I feel like I sit pretty low in these seats right now, and while I feel like the foam padding is in...

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but the PO switched the driver and passenger seats. Apparently to make the wear even, makes no sense to me. However while I’m waiting for engine rebuild money, I’m doing other small stuff. This is next today. Is it as simple as unbolting them from the frame...

Those look awesome!! I couldn’t go with the extra padding being 6’5, I would probably be tasting the steering wheel. I think my padding is in okay shape, but being the original covers they are fairly worn out.

Very simple. Went to adjust it aaaaand, my key is stuck in the lock. Somehow managed to work some lock lube in there and it finally came out. I was able to get the gaps even on both sides with some hinge adjustments, but the striker in the trunk is as low as it will go.

Yep both sides are evenly up, although it looks like it might have to go a tiny bit left as well. I thought I might be able to adjust the striker on the trunk lid but wasn't too sure so figured I would ask before I went adjusting on things.

I searched through the forums on panel adjustments and things like that, and it seems the consensus is just to manually bend them? The trunk lid on my 73 is sitting high on both sides. I can push it down and looks like it levels out but comes up as soon as I release pressure. Any suggestions? Or...

Yeah these TMI covers were the closest I could find. Not the end of the world but I do like my Black/gray with the gray buckets inserts. Probably a dumb question but can I reuse the medallions on my 2 seats? And if not where do I go about getting replacements.

Hey guys quick question, making a list of goodies I’ll need to get. I’ve been trying to find new upholstery that matches what my 73 Mach 1 came with. I have code GA, which is black Mach 1 knitted vinyl. The only thing I’ve seen that is close is this set with NPD. I love the look of my original...

Just to share what I found. Forgot to add this to my original update. Biiiig yikes. A shop close to me quoted about $5500 for a full rebuild, that includes removal/installation. Will be doing the tranny at the same time, so putting away a little bit from each paycheck. Hopefully have her on the...

Fantastic stuff!! While I am saving up for the motor/tranny rebuild, I will definitely be going through these drawings!

I’ll give them a shout! I talked with Engine Masters Automotive in Mesa

Yeah I kind of think it initially happened because of either a cheap or broken timing chain. So I would prefer to spend a lot of money once, than to assume the rest is fine and end up right back at the same problem.

Ahh that would make sense. I was wondering the couple spots it could be. The valve covers came off pretty easy so I also thought maybe the PO saw the problems, and put the covers right back on. I think I’m going to do a full rebuild, but wait until I can also add an upgraded intake, and a 4bbl...

Yeah I was going to pull it but at this point I feel like the smartest thing in the long run is to go for a full rebuild with my block. With the limited info I have on the “rebuild” that was already done, something makes me think it was either cheaply done/not right, or maybe the timing chain...

No sorry, I definitely described that weird. The leakage was only 10% so my rings are good. I do have 3 bent push rods though. #8 is bad enough to the point where it doesn’t want to come out. So I have no clue what happened. Going to remove the brace to give myself more room to work with.
