I found the same issue on my drivers seat when taken apart. I had a metal plate welded to the inside of the seat frame corner to try and stiffen it up. We'll have to see over time if it holds up. The leverage generated when someone leans back in the high back seat is a lot on frame. I don't...

Wow , 6 months of rebuilding is a long time...Hope it all goes smoothly and you are back in business asap!

Welcome from Washington state! Our car has a similar history to yours in that it was the car that my wife and I dated in when in high school. It was her fathers car back then and has eventually found its way to us. We are in the process of slowly working through a refresh. Looking forward to...

Welcome back. Another convert comes out of hiding !

Very likely that it is a different size. The D8 part of the part number would indicate it is from a 1978 Ford but probably not a Mustang as I believe there should be a "Z" in the part number for Mustang model. There were lots of changes on the Ford models during the 70's and parts were changing...

I remember reading about your car when you first got it as a pile of parts! You did an amazing job at getting it all together and on the road!

Midlife, Thanks! I will contact you.

That's good to know where the part is available. I have wondered about the solid state units and if they are a good upgrade option and are reliable. Will be interesting to hear about your experience with it.

Thanks Rackerm So is the last image the part that Midlife sells?  Does this allow more than one item to be connected since the ends has 3 connectors?

Hemikiller, Thanks for the info! Midlife,  in your reply "That line is ACC power, not RUN-only"  what is "that line" ? are you referring to the 4 wire connector? Is the fuse buss bar extender on your website? I will take a look.

Midlife, Thanks for reply. Should the emergency brake switch wire be connected to something?? I'm guessing yes?

kcmash. Thanks! I will check out what Midlife says.

Hello all, I did a search but couldn't find anything related to this but my search phrase may not be correct. On a 73 with no AC and no gauge package, is there an open keyed 12 V source under the dash? (12V on when the ignition key is switched on) I'm installing an Autometer oil pressure gauge...

Welcome from Washington! Nice car! Looks similar to ours. Good luck with getting it sorted out.

Welcome from the Northwest from a fellow "73 convertible with a 302, PS, PB, & auto" ! this is a great site and lots of knowledgeable people to help.

I'm really surprised that Ebay or any other platform for selling items that have a large dollar amount doesn't have something like an escrow account that the buyer can put money into.  The seller would only be able to access the funds once delivery has been confirmed or something like that. If...

Kevin, Really sorry to hear that this turned out to be a scam. I was hoping that it was going to be the real deal for you. this kind of thing makes everyone in the hobby sick as well. Hope you are able to work with Ebay to get your money back. Jim

Good to hear that you were able to get the Car!  Hope it is what you are hoping for, and a drag pack car!  very rare for sure.

If still needed I may be able to help. It is about an hour from me. I'm no expert on these but may be able to at least verify info.

Do you know how long the car will be at Lemay? Would like to go see it.
