    New to the Mustang world

    Post pics of the interior and under hood. The folks on here can help with identifying what is missing and where to focus dollars. And many, like myself have extra used parts.

    Looking for 351 Cooling Improvements.

    The fact it gets hot when not moving, but is okay when moving is a good indicator it could be not enough air flow at idle, if everything else is good. Or not enough surface area in the radiator (higher fin count equals more surface area to radiate heat). An option to going to electric fans, is...

    It's all about surface area.

    Assuming you have a good fan shroud and fan clutch?

    Age-Appropriate(?) Radiator Overflow Bottle

    Also found these two with metal brackets they slide into. The bracket for the Kubota item looks like it could be modified to get the tank level. https://www.amazon.com/-/es/dp/B0CBV31MSB/ref=sspa_mw_detail_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams...

    Age-Appropriate(?) Radiator Overflow Bottle

    The stainless or aluminum cylinder type aftermarket tanks could be bead blasted and painted to blend in. Maybe find a period correct l decal (Autolite or Motorcraft or HOT) to compliment it? This one is already black and has a not too modern cap...

    351C 4V Spreadbore intake vs Squarebore intake

    Long before I bought another Mustang, I was in a local junkyard poking around. Always look inside trunks and hatches, you never know what is lurking there waiting to be picked up. I was rummaging thru an old VW Microbus and found a decent Holley 4175 just laying there. I asked, "How much for...

    71 Mach shut down

    Looks like maybe headlight relays and circuit breakers. I wonder if it has upgraded halogen headlights? In the pics I see the electric fans (if not relays for headlights, maybe for the fans?) and it looks like a relay for the ignition. Could be too much electrical draw over the weekend.

    I guess that works if a person has trouble choosing between the two.

    Instrument Cluster Screw Hole Repair - Can it be done?

    Something to consider when fixing damaged holes...the 'filler' should be no harder than the material you are fixing. The smaller the repair, the more important this is. If the material you are trying to drill into is harder, the bit may tend to slip or drift into the softer material and either...

    I presume you have the helmet because a hat would get sucked right in there?....can't imagine that would be good for the blower.

    Masking tape the outside so the cement stays inside.

    Instrument Cluster Screw Hole Repair - Can it be done?

    An ABS adhesive would probably work. Check the plumbing dept at Home Depot. You could probably clamp it back in place. If it was me, id do that then find some styrene rod at the hobby shop. Drill down the screw hole so the rod fits and glue it in. Cut flush and redrill for screw. I've fixed...

    Doubtful it's a Europa, but high probability of it being Mexico assembled Mustang. CWalker on this forum has a Mexican coupe.

    poor handling

    Not sure what year it changed, but alot of older cars alignment specs were for bias ply tires. I've heard that radials tend to wander a little and need slightly different specs.

    No, I've seen the inside of too many garages. .....but even I can fall into thinking, 'Well, I'll just place it carefully...'. Or the bicycle scrape.......
