Always appreicate pictures. I'll look into getting one of those jack adapters too. Thanks a lot.

Thanks mate. Lots of usefull information here, I'm still learning so my terms aren't up to scratch. I think the problem is a lot of people incorrectly refer to parts too so it gets confusing. I was just reading a similar thread on the same topic and there were at least 5 long-term members that...

I've annotated possible spots on this image, if that helps at all.

I'm probably kicking the bee nest here, but what is the best jacking location for the front of a 73 mustang? I cannot seem to get a concrete answer anywhere. Some people say to use the engine cross member (which sometimes gets confused with the radiator support), but that can apparently cause...

Apologies, I responded to this eariler thinking it was direct message.

I'd be interested in the center dash vent outlet. PM me so we can work out shipping. Cheers

Not a bad idea! I'll give him a shout. Cheers.

That's good to know at least. I don't think I'd buy a dash and then cut it and weld it in, I meant just fabricate a metal box to put in instead of buying a new panel at all. I think that'll be a lot cheaper and a lot less time consuming than ripping out the entire dash, and the dash panel...

TLDR: Can I buy just the highlighted part in "4.png" below, which is just a box for the radio, or do I need to buy another dash panel? Alternative solutions welcome. I'm still in the process of putting together my 1973 Mach 1. It's a job and half with some of the "innovations", we'll call them...

Not to rain on your parade, but $50 + shipping is a bit expensive, they were $45 on Amazon, brand new, with free shipping yesterday. They're now $57 with free shipping.

I'd have to see it in person to know what I prefer haha. I did some rudimentary color grading to your picture to bring some of the color back.

I don't believe they do, but I'm sure that happens to some of the parts. All the parts I listed above have no logo on them.

I'm slowly realizing that, but this is all new to me so I had no idea. Daniel Carpenter's parts are only sold wholesale from what I can tell, so surely the price varies depending on who you buy it from? The only store in my state that resells his merchandise is dreadful by all accounts. I've...

Someone else recommended him too, but I don't think I need his services yet. I did talk to 71fast too for a while, and he was incredibly nice and helpful. The situation with the wiring harness in mine is a complete disaster lol. A lot of it is there, but disconnected, and/or replaced with 12g...

Does seem to be the way. I do try to do this when I can. I've already bought a couple of used parts and I'm happy with them. This basicially sums up what I've been thinking/saying too. It's definitely a hard pill to swallow when you go from working on much cheaper cars to this! I get that...

I really like how that looks! When I repaint mine, I don't think I'll go with a matte black for the NASA hood like Spike's, I'll probably do it the same gloss as the rest of the car.

Nice! Mine supposedly came Medium Bright Yellow (Ford #5080-A) but the previous owner sprayed it (very poorly) a matte black, so I'm hoping to completely redo it. Medium Yellow Gold looks a bit nicer, even if it's not my factory original color.

I bought a '73 mach 1 about a month ago (my first classic!), and she needs a lot of work. One thing that seems particularly unique to this type of car that I've never seen before is how expensive small plastic parts are. I know "expensive" is subjective, but surely we can all agree that this is...

Can I ask what yellow you used too? In fact, your paint spec is almost exactly what I'm going for, so anything you can share would be appreciated!

I've researched this topic for hours and hours over the course of this week and last week, trying to find the most optimal way to do it, and Gilbert summed it all up perfectly. 100% agreed.
