I searched the forum but couldn’t find much on this…how should one go about restoring original valve covers? I took mine off years ago and put in some Ford Racing ones because at the time I thought the originals were ugly, now I’m getting older and starting to appreciate originality and the...

Welcome from Minnesota! This is the best website on Earth for '71-'73 Mustangs!

Just curios, but has anyone ever tried to rig up some type of trunk release latch on one of our cars? I was just thinking that that might be a handy mod to try and figure out...I don't think it would be too hard to run a cable from the latch to the drivers seat area so you could have a quick...

I just watched a couple random YouTube vids on rebuilding these...looks like it can be done but it might make a good winter project in case things don't go well. It should be ok to continue driving with this for now right? Or is this so bad that it should definitely be replaced ASAP?

My steering box is leaking, and seems to have a fair amount of play to it. Can this be rebuilt, and is that difficult to do? Or do I need to order a new one? As you can see in the video, the rag joint moves with the steering wheel but the pitman arm barely moves. So I am assuming this is a huge...

Thanks guys, I will check those diagrams out. So if I hook up that hose again, I should have heat? If I had heat, that would definitely make my car drivable until at least October!

If I were to do something like this in the future, does it use the original controls in the dash? I like the look of my original dash knobs and switches.

It was a bit chilly here in Minnesota while driving Sleipnir home from work this morning. My car needs a weather strip kit bad, and leaks air like a sieve. I tried to use my heater to warm up a bit, but to no avail…I know basically nothing about the climate control systems in these cars (or any...

That’s kind of what’s I was thinking, I can’t imagine anyone would want my worn out leaf springs. I’ll hang on to that sway bar though just in case someone might be doing a concourse resto and needs one. Ever since I got burned by tossing that A/C compressor I think twice about this stuff. I...

What do you guys generally do with your old parts? Years ago I made the stupid mistake of throwing away the A/C stuff I took off my car…and now I’m gun shy to throw anything away, even stuff that is probably garbage. I still have the old leaf springs and sway bar and all the hardware from last...

Wow, thank you for posting this. I didn't realize that the bearings were part of the rotor assembly, I'm used to working on newer stuff where the rotors are separate from the bearings. After watching your video I am a lot less apprehensive about doing this job, I think it will be a good one for...

Thanks for the links, this is the stuff I have to see to determine if I should tackle these jobs or not. And I will definitely keep posting in this thread, I'm selfishly using it to document my cars slow return to showroom condition...someday!

Welcome from Minnesota!

Well I got some new tires on the Mustang a few days ago, and WOW...99% of my wheel vibrations are gone. Thank you all for the suggestion of ditching the old rubber! I didn't realize how much old tires could contribute to wheel vibs. It's actually a pleasure to drive again! I'm going to take it...

Seeing as I already have the ginge pin kit, I think I’ll just go the “easy” route for now. And yes Fabrice, I got 4 pins and bushings so I can do both sides. Thanks for the link Bentworker, I may do that mid someday…I’ll put it in the list! 😀

I went ahead and ordered a hinge pin kit from Ohio Mustang Supply before I truly inspected my door hinge...Here's a quick vid of my drivers side lower hinge pin while one of my kids is lifting up on the door. It looks like an awful lot of travel, do you think this hinge can be saved with a new...

I scratched the living $**T out of my Mustang today, and I cant even blame the kids...it was 100% my fault. was backing it out of the garage and didn't know that there were a couple of bikes right next to the garage door opening (I put them there a couple days ago). As I was backing out I heard...

Welcome from Minnesota!

Big breakthrough today folks!! I had some errands to run down in the concrete jungle of Minneapolis/St. Paul today and decided to stop by that business that the surviving brother worked at for many years. My son and I walked in the office and saw a man about my age on the phone dealing with...
