Welcome from Michigan, nice looking car!

The finished product!

Update! So the retrosound radio and speakers are phenomenal. Was not the easiest install as I opted for 6”x9” rear speakers which the deck was not made to fit. After making templates and measuring, checking and rechecking, the deck was modified, new insulation installed, deck board repainted...

I vote beater car cover AND a beater car block party. 😎 Love the car! Clearly they have no clue what an eye sore is… 🙄 No way no how could I ever put up with an HOA.

Makes sense. Unfortunately after my dad put things back together the camera and screen for it got misplaced so it doesn’t have one right now. Will look into a more modern solution for it. Possibly one that integrates with the rear view mirror so as not to have a screen mounted to the console...

I may just be the happiest person in the world to have working back up lights… a few months before my grandpa (previous owner of my car) passed, he had decided to install a back up camera in the car. Unfortunately he had removed the back up light switch, stuck the end of the wiring harness in...

Well I’ve finally figured out the existing wiring headache. I traced all the yellow wires to one source… my aftermarket tach that grandpa installed when he had it. Rather than keeping the color coding of the wires coming out of it he must have had an over abundance of yellow wire to use up at...

This is different, I’ve seen a couple original paint 71-73s, none were even close to being this rough.

As far as the speaker wire that’s easy, what’s existing is being taken out and new wire provided with new speakers are going in, speakers and radio are all the same brand so wire gauge is a perfect matchup. Figuring out the constant 12v feed and accessory feed was my dilemma.

Update! So upon tracing down the yellow wire(s) that appear to be spliced in with the blue/red wire, the wire running off to the left goes directly into the fuse box (looks like constant 12v feed?) and the wire running off to the right goes through the firewall through a corrugated cover, comes...

I do lol it’s a really neat deep dish that’s a gradual dish, not double stepped like the fronts are. Haven’t seen another set like them anywhere. Was great seeing you today also!

I wish I could, then I’d know to never use it on anything else. It’s god awful, feels like 120 grit sandpaper or bedliner. The painter my grandfather used, used the wrong paint, never fessed up to it or offered to correct it and told my grandfather not to ever contact him again. Someday I will...

Got the bright idea to upgrade from the factory(ish) radio and speakers to a retrosound setup. Wiring is far from my strong suit so I finally broke down and bought the wiring manual ebook from ford manuals website. That was somewhat of a help in regards to the speaker wires coming out of the...

Haven’t attempted it yet, but it should be no problem when I do get around to it. Currently have half the interior apart doing an overhaul of the radio/speakers.

1973 Mach 1 original Q Code 4 Speed bright red A continuation of a build my grandpa started shortly after he bought it in 2001(3rd owner), one of his last of many mustangs he bought through the years. It also ended up being his favorite and I can see why! Inherited in 2016 after many years of...

The 1-1/8" is the inner nut, the outer one is the lock nut which they also show having at WCC but they don’t give an outer dimension. Another website called auto krafters shows both together in one kit and lists it at 1" for the locking nut. I’m just wondering if these replacements are the...

The "incorrect hardtop" version was mine. Discovered that problem last fall. What a headache that was. Here is the hack job done to the incorrect mounts that came out of it. Done by the previous owner my grandfather bought it from before me. Yikes.

***EDITED*** Turns out it was just an excess buildup of paint not letting the 1" get on it before. I’d delete the thread if I could figure out how so I guess just disregard the post. A true head scratcher here.. my 73 Mach 1 is in need of new strut rod bushings. Problem being, the outer nut...
