I would just build that one back with some epoxy and fiberglass and put a washer under the screw head.

What Ray said about the Grande is correct. The Grande got a trunk mat but it was not plastic like the sell. It was what I think is called a needled material. Similar to a thick piece of felt. There were two thick solid cardboard pieces to close off the drop off also on the Grande only. I have a...

Most of the build sheets were under the carpet. My 73 I bought new was actually under the sound deadening mat and could not be salvaged. The second day I had the car it rained and roof rail leaked and 2" of water in rear floor where the build sheet was. I pulled the carpet a couple years ago to...

I am thinking that someone put a headliner in and did not remove the windows and just tried to glue it to window frame. You can remove the rear window without cutting the rubber seal if it is not cracked or really hard. They make windshield tools to curl the rubber corner of the seal into the...

I kept the factory on mine and use the Canadian refrigerant Duracool 12a. It is way better than R-12 or R-134. Here is link to their site. https://www.duracool.com/ecom/shoppingcart.html Buy it straight from them it is way cheaper. One can will start the system cooling. I also used their...

LOL, Go easy on him. I have same problem with spell check. On the cable. As stated you should be able to get to it from above it. Have you dropped the steering column down out of the way? Four nuts on studs two on each side. I have issue with the 73 vert I got from California. I have never...

I do not have a 71 and I think there were different process in N.J. cars compared to Michigan cars. I have been told by some that the side marker lights and tail lights did not have spatter paint over spray on them but I do not know for sure. It would be difficult to keep from getting the...

That is a better fit than most are. What is brand and part # so all will know what works? I assume it clears the window and it goes down all the way? Thanks for sharing.

I am sure that everyone that has Hagerty Insurance got this message today that they will be going public this year and will be trading stock before the end of this year. <iframe title="vimeo-player" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/588532710?h=40e6098877" width="640" height="360"...

The holes that Ford cut look to be using a hole saw to get the two ends and then cut the center out. Same for the wiring boot holes hole saw at the factory. Since the doors just came in one version with no speaker holes and no wiring holes and doors for coupe, vert and fastback all the same kept...

Hello from North Carolina. I have an original 73 Mach 1 and yes yours appears to be a 71 if steering wheel is right was a one year thing for the round small center horn button on the standard interior. So I do not know if your dad had the windshield and back glass out when he painted the car...

I think they sell them in repo. More to close off the channel for the wires in the rocker box and to prevent a squeak I would think. Auto upholstery supply will have the thick solid cardboard that has wax in it to cut down on moisture absorbing. You could cut your own. Score with razor knife...

The seats look similar to the SVO seats with inflatable lumbar and the pull out support in front of seat. Also can adjust the width on small of back. Recaro made them for Ford I think. I have an 85 SVO with the leather seats. Did you find some original comfort weave material? If so where SMS is...

Another note to remember. If you have the panel under the rear window out that has to go back before the rear window so you can install the screws.

I have two 1973 verts with CW Comfort weave White interiors. The seats, door panels, rear side panels are white. The console, dash, dash pad, carpet, seat belts, steering wheel and steering column are black. The white door panels have black carpet on the bottom. Ford used the same interior black...

Was looking for your post on the R.H. door jam. I got some pictures of the one I have in a 1972 Mustang vert parts car in the shop. I had to climb over stuff piled on it and you can see is right against the back shop door that I never use. It looks solid. The round plugs you see are from Ziebart...

What a great trip and thanks so much for all the great pictures.

That is great. When you watch what you are doing and do it right it will come out right. Dr's. are only ones that bury their mistakes.

There was a show today local and I drove the 1973 vert there. It sprinkled a little rain going but not much so just a wipe down when there. The car beside me was also a 1973 AMC Gremlin X 401 and was done pretty close to stock. I do not know how the engine should be but was not over done. He...

I myself would put a stand alone cooler on the transmission. The radiator is hot to start with and does not really cool that much. A stand alone with fan will take the transmission heat out of the radiator and will keep your transmission much cooler and last longer. I use a Hayden with fan on my...
