Sincere condolences, Steve. I was just visiting my 94-year-old dad in Tucson this past week. Time well-spent, though I know the opportunities for visits are running out.

Nice work and I'd say your welding skills were just right for your repair! This will help someone else take on a cowl repair.

Welcome Rybo, and howdy from Texas! Great story on your Mach 1 and worthy of your efforts to get it on the road again. You've come to the right place for information, encouragement, and access to many very helpful members that will share advice from their experience with these cars. Looking...

Congratulations! It sounds healthy!

That should work but you should use fuel injection hose clamps. @Stanglover will educate you 😉

Never a 70, but a 69 Boss 302 and a couple 69 Mach 1s. I would've liked another Boss but I can't justify how expensive they are, at least for my budget. Besides, the AC in this car will be nice through Texas summers!

Well, yesterday I went to Phoenix and bought an M-code '70 Mach 1 and today I trailored it home to San Antonio. Now to get some sleep!

Nice work! It's always good when you can see the progress and improvement.

Howdy and welcome from San Antonio! Congratulations on finding you M-code 71! It looks like you've found a good one to enjoy. See ya 'round the forums!

Yep, I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Yes, you may get a slight change in settings once the car is driven, but they should be negligible. Your setup is probably fine, though you do need to make sure your plates and stands are all four level with each other. There is an art to...

@basstrix , My days of doing front end alignments are more decades ago than I like to think about. The tools and technology have advanced since then but the geometry remains the same. We all know caster is set to keep the car going straight down the road and ease steering effort. Caster...

Keep in mind most primers other than perhaps epoxy primer will not provide protection. Primers are basically meant to provide adhesion between the paint and the surface, though some provide additional benefits such as high-build primer. If you're looking for protection you will want to spray a...

This would be one vote we could all agree on!

I was just thinking, my Traeger smoker can maintain 650°F. Not sure if the smoke would affect the finish but low smoke pellets like post oak may work. :unsure:
