    grill molding

    Mike, I know this is a real old post but do you remember how you kept the clips on the trim as you line them up into the slots? I’ve just about pulled what’s left of my hair out trying to get these things in but they keep falling out before I can even line them up. Totally makes sense to do...

    Fuel Filter Replacement

    The WIX kit included Fuel Hose is marked as 200 psi which I believe is fuel injector grade? I know this is one of your many areas of expertise so just verifying my assumption.

    Fuel Filter Replacement

    It's a good idea to change your fuel filter since you've just gotten your car. From your picture nothing looks abnormal. You've got options, depending on what you're after. If you're wanting to keep your car as original as possible or want an OEM part, NPD (National Parts Depot) has a...

    Replacing the front springs on my 1971 Mustang

    I struggled with the same spring compressor tool you have the first time I changed my coil springs. Grateful that I lived the through it and didn’t want to tempt fate a second time so I bought this wonderful tool off eBay from a guy named Tommyzees. I’ve used it to R/R my springs twice now and...

    Front Grille Paint?

    Well I’ve spent the last month or more repairing 23 broken or missing ABS plastic sections to restore my front grille. It's been more of an experiment to see if I could do it, and I think it's going to work. Next I got all the Zbart and grime cleaned off & prepped for paint. Today I sprayed...

    ’71 Mach 1 Resto Project

    Wow...what you've accomplished is amazing. I so enjoy following your accomplishments and use it for inspiration. Mine will never come close to your quality, but I am enjoying trying (where I can). Those restored door panels look better than new.

    1973 Mustang headlamp retainer

    totally agree with not drilling out your rivets. Are you asking about how to bend the tab over once your new nut is in place? I’d probably try using vice grips or a clamp. Also here’s a review comment on installing this kit from CJ Pony: Customer Reviews be patient. bending tabs out and...

    Intro

    Welcome to the forum and for joining as a member right off the bat! We'd all love to see a picture(s) of your Mach 1 project. You'll be right at home here and be amazed at the help you'll get. Looks like you're from the Phoenix area, I'm from "rust prone" Michigan. Again, welcome, Bob

    1973 Mustang headlamp retainer

    Yeah, sorry I misunderstood your question and thought you were asking about the green parts. Totally missed you were asking about holding the headlight adjustment screw. The part that Hemi showed needs to have the "front side" tabs bent over once it's positioned in your headlight box. Here's...

    The one harness with the long rubber block is harness 14B695 which is for the automatic seat back latch solenoid/relay, seat sensor switch and seat belt retractor switches. The one you have pictured is the left hand side. If you have another similar one (don't see a picture above) with the...

    Spectra Premium F32A fuel tank/fuel vapor separator fitment

    I’m doing the same on mine, just cleaning it up and reinstalling with no media. eBay has two NOS vapor vents listed currently and neither of them has any media inside. The reproduction one from ACP is also that way. All that on top of the appearance that “if” my fuel vent ever had a media...
