    Marti Auto email?

    I had zero luck getting a hold of that guy after I found a consistent mistake in his Marti reports. I sent all the info, he just ignored... I have minimal faith in his reports moving forward, preferring to rely on the factory invoice for accuracy.

    Looking for great mechanic for 72 convertible in or around the Toronto Canada area

    I'm not a member anymore, haven't been for 15 years, I was one of the founding members who met with Jim King ( At the time, a top Canada Ford Executive and Mustang aficionado), when he first wanted to form the club in around 1995. It got too political as the years went by, I just quietly...

    1971 Seat Belt Warning light

    I looked for two years to find one for my J Code vert restoration... Finally located a nice one with slightly faded but all intact chrome for $40 at the Ohio Fairgrounds All Ford swap meet I use to attend every Fall. Typical Perkin's pricing on this piece. lol

    NPD Greed

    I spent $1000's of Cdn loonies on shipping, mostly from NPD because I think they are the best... Yes, there are all the additional UPS upcharges, and whatever else was tacked on that was a PIA, but no one held a gun to my head. I did take advantage of the $300 no shipping costs where possible...

    Rear Interior Quarter Panel Windlace Trim

    I bought my replacements through NPD a few years back. Not sure if they ae still available as they were not a popular part to replace. As I wanted the original look when finished, I managed to remove and reuse the original staples as well, time consuming but worth the effort in the end on my build.

    429 Fan Shroud

    The key point being that your car is not an original J or C code hence it is not necessary to have the original shroud. as for price, I have gone through this a couple times in the last 30+ years on searching out and purchasing this item. The last time I purchased an original was for my current...

    429 Power Steering Cooler?

    I have never seen a clear answer on this question. My 71 J Code Vert has AC and no PS cooler. However, before I got the car in 2015, the engine was out at least twice for rebuilds and the car in general had been driven very hard before going into long term storage. When I restored the car, I did...

Did a quick check with some fuel poured down the carb and she ran briefly. Tried starting again and it started right up...

    You can continue to vouch for him... I will continue to state it as I have both seen and researched the issue. If the owner is not going to reply to my queries, then it must be so...
