    Front Spoiler for Mach1

    Me too, but in some states they are required, and the local cops are a pain if you do not have them.

    RIBS 71 convertible build JUNE 21 till??

    Runs happen, even the professionals get runs. The last car I had painted by a professional had a couple of runs. They just sand them out when they polish the paint.

    Turbo vs supercharger

    I have worked with centrifugal, screw, and roots blowers, and at one time I was a Master WD for Turbonetics, although that was decades ago, and most of my experience is from the 80's to the early 2000's. Anyways, this is a difficult question to answer. First is that you can put a turbo or...

    New 2024 Mustang

    The car looks good, on the outside although I do not like how the headlights look when the car is running, and on the inside I really despise that flat "dash screen" thing, and the fact they dropped the dual hump design, which in my opinion looks great. Rest of the interior looks really good...

    Need help with body seam material

    Been working on replacing the Mustangs lower A-Pillar, got that all welded in, and repaired part of the lower rocker. As I am looking on the other side of the rocker where the B-pillar meets the rocker, inside the door jamb (not the area that you can see from the outside of the car) there was a...

    Please help me diagnose vibration 1966 289 4V :SOLVED!

    When you are removing the trans and replacing the flexplate make sure that both your dowel pins are present. If you are missing one or both of them, it can cause the transmission to be a bit out of center, and you will get a vibration from the converter and the transmission not being centered...

    Please help me diagnose vibration 1966 289 4V :SOLVED!

    At least you know that the vibration is most probably in the engine/flexplate/torque converter. If you can reproduce the vibration with the car in neutral by just revving the engine, and by putting it in neutral while driving the vibration goes away, 99% of the time the vibration is in the...

    351 4v ( 408 and TKX )

    Maybe the coil wire from the switch is bad or not hooked up. The start position provides full 12 volts to power to the coil for starting, after that, the power source is switched to the resistor wire from the ignition switch. As a test, put a jumper from the battery to the power side (+) of the...

    Need Your Advice

    What engine, what transmission, and what rear end gears does it have? Does it run well? It just does not have much power? Please remember that by 72 most these cars came with the 302 2 barrel or the 351 2 barrel, neither of those 2 engines, especially with automatic transmissions and 2.79 gears...

    What did you do to your car today?

    When you have issues with repairs ask questions here, there are many knowledgeable people here who will be more than happy to help. There should have been no need to send the door pin to get it shortened, you should be able to just cut it with a grinder and a cut off wheel, and just bevel the...

    Interior Restoration New vs Original

    As Mr. 4x4 said, the biggest issue with plastic dash bezel, center console bezel, and the passenger side bezel is the chrome. You really cannot make that look fresh again without sending it out to be professionally done. When I get to the interior of my car I will be buying the repro stuff...

    Fuel Carb- Overflow

    As stated before there is an O-ring on each side of that transfer tube, the rear one is either pinched, broken, or it has hardened and no longer seals. Being that the carb has the nylon washers, it may also have reusable gaskets. I would take out the rear bowl and see if you have the reusable...
