I've heard back from Hayden at Marti Auto. I explained that I wanted to get the "Elite" report without the frame. He's telling me that I have to get the frame because it's what's 'approved' by Ford. Really? Is this true? Why in the world would Ford care if the papers are in a frame or not? So I...

"ONE REQUEST: If you notice anything about the setup that is not correct for a 1973 H-code Mach 1, please let me know. The car should be entirely correct in factory condition." The air cleaner snorkel is not correct.. It should be the one that connects to an accordion style cold air tube. The...

Have to agree I find it irritating with some of the "fully restored" cars on Ebay.. Nothing wrong with a chrome front bumper if the owner wants that. For me, I grew up with these cars from the time they were new (with my nose pressed against the glass on the dealer lot). A part of the Mach1...

Getting ready to install a 2-post lift in my barn. All the cheaper ones are made in China. I'm planning to get the Mohawk- Made in the U.S.. If you look at how it's built, it's like the difference between a 1989 Ford Ranger, and my 2003 F250 Super Duty Diesel 4x4. Yes it costs more, but what is...

I'm not trying to be harsh on Mr. Marti. I understand they are busy.. The fact is they have exclusive custody of the Ford database, so there simply is no other way to obtain that valuable information..

Wow! That's a lot of challenges piled on! They say He won't throw anything at you that you can't handle. Stay strong! I didn't know about the website- I'll be a future customer...

If that's a good email address, they don't list it on their site. I'll try it, but maybe they don't want to be bothered with email. I would try contacting them through Faceplant, but Faceplant suspended my account as soon as I signed up, and there's absolutely no way to even find out from them...

Also right there on the bumpside pride! 69 F100 Ranger 4x4 in the stable awaiting restoration.. My plan is to use it to pull the 69 Mustang around. It's pretty straight, but needs floor pan work.

After several attempts to reach Marti Auto on the phone, I left voicemail for them over 24 hours ago... no return call so far. They don't list an email address for contact. I want to order an elite Marti report, but I don't want the framing because I like to put everything in a 3 ring binder. I...

Wow Scubaman, Glad you survived.. So sorry to hear about the convertible! Argh! I hope you had it insured for stated value with a company like Hagerty... I believe the car is restore-able though.. Heck, cars that are nothing but empty rusted shells are getting restored every day.. Everything...

It's not hard to punch your own holes for the twist locks.. Here is just one idea on how to do it..

All the factory Ford Chrome Magnums were 14x7 and15x7.. The 14x7 painted Magnums with trim rings were called Rallys.. 15x8 is available in repros. You can write anything you want a repro sticker. I'm just guessing Kevin Marti would not put incorrect information on a sticker to try and make it...

In 1993 I bought a 73 coupe. 302/3 sp. stick, no a/c, for $500. Had the machine work done on the motor, and assembled/detailed it myself in my small metal shed in the back yard. Built a wooden frame and covered it with plastic to paint the car. I prepped it by DA sanding with 220, then spraying...

If you have the option available, get shipping to a commercial address. It's usually a big savings over shipping to residential.

The Kammback though, also referred to the sharp-edged, flat tail end. It was supposed to provided aerodynamic advantages.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kammback

Still true today, but I think the younger guys have gotten wiser, and more able to spot a gold digger...

I believe in 71 the 351-2V was the base engine with the Mach1 package. I've seen several 72-73 F-code Mach1s, but never a 71.

For anyone considering doing their own paint, this fella gives a lot of education.. https://www.youtube.com/@PaintSociety
