I am not sure if there are different manufacturers of the repro Mach scooped hood.  I bought one for a ‘73 about 12 years ago from National Parts Depot.  It was really nice, but we did have to bend one side to line it up with the fender.  We blocked the front edge on one side and the back edge...

So I was sanding the fender edges and cleaning up the backside today in prep for priming the fenders tomorrow.  I noticed the blackout even goes on the back side of the fender about 1/2” up from the very bottom—cleariy it was sprayed while off the car.  Snapped this picture—between the bolt...

If it wasn’t a dealer, I would expect the description to say “SWMBO says it has to go, so priced accordingly :biggrin: ”

Kilgon is really high up, and Tony-Muscle is by a bunch of water.  Sorry, that’s the best I’ve got.

That is a really sad looking Mustang.  But thank you for the pictures.  What have I learned?  Almost anything goes!  

Sorry Midlife, I will refer to you from now on as “notsobright”...

I had started with a needle nose vice grips doing that, but they were rusted tight.  I sprayed them down with WD40 a few separate times.  I will hit them a few more times, then try again.  I was trying to just grab the unthreaded bit which is really hard to do.  I may have to go your route and...

Exactly what the title says, but there is a complication.  Two of the nuts/studs have rusted together.  When I tried to loosen the nuts, the backside started to spin—no joy.  Worst part is that they are the bottom nuts.  Any advice how to remove the nuts and studs for the taillights given the...

Interesting post as I just dug into this on my ‘72.  In the past I have always used an Autobody sealant or something called Dum Dum (I think that is the name), basically a very thick black play dough texture product that seals.  The AMK kit has black plastic or rubber washers.  I think I will...

Thanks for these photos Carolina—it is interesting the difference of the cars posted.  The 429 site has a few different styles than yours.  Yours is a ‘73, so I am going to follow the ‘72 stuff from the 429 site.  The most interesting things with yours are 1) the rockers and how the black wraps...

After spending time studying the photos on the 429 site and then sanding/stripping work on my car—wow, the original paint job was crap.  A combination of paint and striping tape on the lower section.  Then more paint applied over the top during a lousy repaint speculating in the 80’s or 90’s...

Thank you C9ZX—I remember that site, but had forgotten about it!  What a great resource.  Looks like I did it wrong last time!

I have some questions about the blackout treatment for repainting my ‘72—I can’t remember what I did last time when I did the ‘73.  Here goes: 1) I know the blackout treatment wraps into the door jamb along the quarter panel and the rocker by about 3/4”.  Is there a precise measurement there?  ...

Follow-up—ordered one yesterday from Marti.  Thanks for the replies.

A person skilled at back-tape application can make a paint line nearly invisible.  On the ‘73 I used to have I painted the insides of the doors off the car and the jambs at the same time, then put the doors back on.  I had also painted inside the trunk, but didn’t worry about the top side of the...

Give me some time to think about this—its a bit more than I anticipated for belts that are needing so much work.

Has anyone considered a backup camera where the screen replaces the clock?  I know the shifter may partially obscure it, but it seems like a good use of space.  May have to enlarge the clock opening to make it viable though as the clock is rather small.

Notice how the torsion bar is installed—it is adjustable. The second post photos show the torsion bar engaged in the rear-most point, where the first post has them in the middle.  There are three slots available.

Thanks Hemikiller, mine has had one crappy paint job and crappy masking job already, so it needs to be dealt with properly.  New paint, new sticker.  Thanks for the lead!

Is there a source for replacing this sticker/label?  I am getting ready to do lots of sanding and painting, ideally I put on a new one.  Not sure if that is possible, not to mention legality.
