This is a true one happened to me. When I took my job at Spartanburg Steel Products, Inc. they had included a months free stay in motel in Spartanburg. So I did it. Would come in each afternoon and it being warm weather they had a happy hour outside. I had made friends with a guy doing business...

I have the craziest luck for meeting people. Since Covid is dying down I wanted to get social again. So I joined a dating site. One reason I joined it was looking through their free stuff and you could look at pics and some info about members. One gal jumped out it seemed, so I joined. Well I...

I was just at Carlisile, Penn. show and they were there but by time I got there they had sold out. He sold 39 of them for $150 each. They use to be $90.00 couple years ago.  ask what the royalty fee is on Trademarked Items with Ford and was told Ford gets 10% of selling price to license the...

This year at the all Ford Carlisle, Penn show they put together a collection of 1971, 1972 & 1973 Mustangs inside Building T. This is for the 50th Ann. of the 1971 Mustang. I was picked for one of the inside display 1973 Mustang Mach 1. Brian will be there with his 1972 Concourse Mach 1 and...

Something ate my last post. This is near Atlanta and they do nothing but panel replacement no paint  and body work. Will not be perfect but  that is all they do so good at it.   Forget the tech school they get people looking all the time...

Me and my son kart raced and the frame and engine covers went to work with me and got powder coated. Yes chipping is less due to being plastic not a paint. Long term no way powder is better than real paint not base clear that sucks also. Look at all the peeling sun burnt cars out there. I have a...

Audi does a great job on panel alignment as your reflections show. You need to invest in a 2 post lift. When just wiping my car down I put on the lift saves the back, lol.

If you strike out on those suppliers go to Facebook Marketplace look for Scotty Strickland he has a Mustang junk yard in North Carolina, USA. He usually runs ad there. Watch this link and he does not sell whole cars only parts. There is more money in parts than cars...

Several members have been searching for the wire harness for convince group. I guess just by chance all eight that I have has the convince group. I did not go looking for that but do look for lots of options on cars I buy. Ford did not install a generic wire harness one size fits all. Each is...

Daniel Carpenter is mfg. but does not sell direct. I get mine from NPD just 100 miles from me so closest on shipping. My friend that does auto restorations had someone bring him a 65 GT-350 Shelby certified by Shelby American. When he opened the door there was that seal. No roll down rear...

I think those holes were also locator holes for tooling an weld assembly but also drain. Yes plug them. Great shape I have a california vert same way.

What I thought was bad is the fact Ford paid his college and worked for them his whole working life. His track car is a new  corvette. He said the mustangs engines just will hold together oiling issues.                                       

Most people think a colder thermostat will make engine run cooler but it is the opposite. The thermostat will never close if it is a cold one. The coolant does not stay in the radiator long enough to cool down so gets hotter and hotter. 192 is what you want. Does your hose going to water pump...

Great that it is going back together. I have a yellow vert also but has decor group so not as much yellow. I have had people ask what year challanger it was, lol.

Man you are killing me. I walk by the car I want to do track days with each day and wish I could be working on it. Surgery soon I hope it works. Unlike you I will be using some of the latest steels and can go half the thickness and still be stronger and lighter. Hope I live long enough to run a...

In the US too many have the opinion "you cannot tell me or make me wear a mask". I want to go up and slap those without a mask in public. What idiots. I was growing up when polio hit. We took our shots and eventually went to oral doses. Americans today are IDIOTS. Yes it has been tough last...

Why would you powder coat. That is not very durable in UV. Yes tough but not very long lasting. If you do not believe go look at your powder coated lawn mower. Another example of how the EPA forced mfg to change not better for product but for earth. In UV and salt spray testing good old single...

They do sell sets the doors and ignition use same key trunk and glove box different. If you had protection package in 73 you also had a spare tire lock that was same as trunk.

Getting old sucks. I have both and do not remember and had off two years ago.

Everyone always has their opinions of oil and filters I will share a couple I know for real. I am not religious on oil changes. I have not changed the oil in my 73 vert in 4 years. Seldom gets driven so why change. The myth about getting water in it from sitting I proved wrong when I sent the...
