Thanks! Was hoping to save some time but not going to run 480 to my house and then pay more than the car is worth for an industrial spot welder. Figured I would ask. Do you know anything about tig welding replacement panels into place?

I feel like I am spamming lately with all my questions. I have a mig and have used it for a battery apron replacement and some small patching. Also for SS exhaust using different gas. Will not win any awards but good enough. I know a 480v spot welder is what is really needed for heavy duty spot...

Evidently I am a slacker. Between him and kevken I think they have half the market cornered.

Pics would be nice. Detritus is closer to me. I often see him at local shows. But his car looks a bit weathered but still better than mine. See the pics I posted in response to him

Included a pic from my Mach 1. I should have taken some measurements. Other pics show what I am dealing with. I was thinking I could patch the LH outer rocker panel. Rocker is probably the first thing I need to repair and then the inner rocker installation. I need to start a building thread lol...

Will get some more pics and see my reply to Detrituts above.

Looks like I may be making a visit to you to assess. Are the aprons and radiator support in decent shape? in other words the entire clip good? Will take some more pics this morning. In descriptive terms it is the area in the pic at the front of the A-pillar at the bottom(directly below the...

Sold my enclosed trailer many years ago. Was paying storage for it and rarely used it. Would have kept it had i been on land but in a subdivision. I did get a 20% discount on the torque box/frames. Many of the other parts were decently discounted but the free shipping sealed the deal. I did...

I knew he had a rather substantial collection but I figured 50-ish. He qualifies as an overachiever

I searched the forums on my phone and then went to the computer. Did a duckduckgo search and found this thread. Looks like I get to exercise my fab skills. https://7173mustangs.com/threads/front-torque-boxes.31060/

I think that is what they are called. See pic. Specifically this is with respect to the carcass vert Mustang I have been posting about. Both sides need replacing. They do not appear to be part of the apron assembly nor anything else I can find. They do make a heavy duty version for earlier year...

I ordered $1500 in parts from TF yesterday. I got charged $1100 by extra mile brands so I am hoping that is them. Also hoping it all ships eventually. No indication on the website not via email what has actually shipped. I ordered the vert inner rocker panel from Kentucky Mustangs. They and NPD...

And Your comment about the seat belts I had forgotten about! There were also numerous differences in the seat belts themselves over those 3 years. WCCC has a great video about all the differences. Not sure what, if any, there were between 71-2 from memory. I want a SCJ even if it is a carcass...

Kevin...I read many of your comments on barn finds along with 6972. What are the nuanced differences in the 72 compared to 71. I know about the seat belt warning light above the glove box but what else is there? Where there pics of body panels with 72 date codes? I looked but did not see...

W T F...... My personal 85 cars😲😭😭

Ok...carcass SOLD back to me to save it from being scrap ...although most of it actually IS scrap and needs to be replaced. Fortunately I have a rebuilt Cleveland and a C6 that just needs to be put back together

I am giving top flight a shot. They had the full length convertible rear frame rails/ torque boxes in stock. Only place I have seen them. Got the individual longer lh and rh floor pans. I got many other parts. Nothing that required freight. Will contact Gilbert about the trunk floor. For the...

I did not get it from Paul but the guy that got it from him (I traded for it and a lot of parts that can be used on this). I live maybe 30 miles from him and this never came across my radar. There were 166 ramair verts in 71, 34 of which were 429s. I have a 351-2v ramair vert so very close to...

Engine dyno start from a month ago. The engine pull video is too large to upload. Struggling with headers. Just found out I need to cut a hole in the rear apron for the R4 tube. Installation is today's task.

Thank you for the encouragement. I am nearly finished with another vert that I have had for 28 yrs and never been in the road. I bought it because it was a solid, albeit pathetic looking, mostly rust free grabber blue ramair car. Guess I need to pull some items off the for sale list. Seats and...
