I think the stencil is correct now based on the results I got.  Their instructions may be the issue because I think their measure of the center point didn't match up to yours. But using your position measurements I think it came out fantastic. 

heres a link to the stencil.  https://www.graphic-express.com/1971-73-mustang-mach-1-nasa-naca-hood-paint-stencil-kit.html

I need to replace the rear shocks,  you can see how the *** sags a bit much. 

Man, I think we all have horrible luck with painters. I found a guy to paint the car at his shop in his back yard. He lives in a sketchy area but has cameras and other security measures in place.  He was 2 to 3k cheaper than every shop i called and he gave me a 30 day turnaround and it was a...

The stencil came from Graphics Express in Inverness,  Fl. Just Google them.  Came out great using David's reference measurements for locating the correct starting placement. 

my car just got back from the body shop and the hood graphics came out fantastic.  I supplied them with the stencil from graphics express and they came out great.   Compare that to David Fowler's 73 unrestored original and it looks great.  

We dropped it off at a real body shop this morning where they are going to take it all apart and put it back together correctly.  Including the interior which is all jacked up at the moment.  They are also painting the hood graphic. So thanks for the measurements on that!

Looks like a 351 4v 4 bolt main CJ block.  interesting.

Damn rackerm,  that is so sharp.  Man I wish I had one of those too.  But I already have 2 project vehicles.  My wife would kill me if I got another.

WOW! mach71351c that looks great.  I have been dealing with my other cars this week.  You know how it goes, when 1 breaks they all break.  My bronco has been down for a few months and ive been dragging my feet on working on it due to working on the mustang.  Now my Durango lower ball joint...

Thanks 

Driving it home from the paint shop was interesting.  Every car that passed slowed down and looked at it hard.  

I have the osborn books on CD.  I havnt found where these are mentioned yet.  Hopefully someone thats found the nearly correct rivets will chime in.

I found some really small flat head brass rivets. Im going to see if they have steel too. I think they were 1/16" I don't know if thats small enough.  Im Going to keep looking.  I need to get a caliper and measure them.

Has anyone replaced the weatherstrip guides on the roof seal trim? I see that its riveted on.  Any recommendations for rivets?  Is there a kit somewhere?

Im really pleased how it turned out.  Im slowly but surely working on it bit by bit after work, all day weekends when I can.  Im cleaning up the drip rail molding now, lots of fun doing that.  Someone suggested WD-40 to clean all the crap off of them.  Im going to give that a Try later.

Well its been a long 7 weeks, but the Calypso Coral Stang is out of the paint shop! I have a very long list of things to do now on it.  First up, a trip to the body shop to get all the panels aligned and work out the issues with the sports mirrors.  Then I can get the decal man over to do the...

well my car is almost out of paint.  The next thing I want to do is replace the windshield.  Looking on NPD and CJP all I see are the cheap non-carlite windshields for the fastback.  Do they still make carlite FB windshields?  what is everyone using?

@Kilgon THANK YOU SO MUCH!  its good to know that drawing wasnt for this part.  It kinda looks similar, but I couldnt make heads or tails out of it. Im running a chrome bumper so I need them. I got by the painters place yesterday to look at it and we figured out how to mount it.   Im just...

well thats something at least.  Im going to go check it out in a few.  Maybe I can take some pictures on what we decide so maybe someone else will know in the future.  Its only on cars with a chrome bumper.
