    71 Black Hood Paint Finish

    The factory finish was never glossy. It would have come from the factory in a matte finish. Some guys prefer it to be glossy and some guys prefer it to be matte. If you decide to respray it in a matte finish be careful which products you use. It may come out looking chalky. If you go on the...

    Hood graphic measurement

    I've seen the stencil that you can buy from mustang vendors. Maybe you could use that? I was considering doing the same thing. Having a graphic shop do vinyl wrap from the same 3m black vinyl used for the side stripes. I was also planning on having them wrap my front and rear valances so they'll...

    I have a couple of pieces in mind. The metal bumper reinforcement panel that fits between the front bumper and the radiator support. The other piece I could think of is the metal strap\bracket on the backside of the door panels that holds the door pulls. And one other piece I could think of...

    Starter Cable Smoking Hot!!

    You mention checking all your negative ground connections but what about your positive connections? It sounds like to me that either the positive cable is making contact with the chassis at the solenoid or it's making contact on the starter body. Sometimes when you tighten the nut on the starter...

    Advice needed before removing Quarters

    I think I would as a precautionary measure. Put in support bars side to side and possibly front to back in the door area. Also make sure that the car is completely level. I think I would do one quarter panel at a time and one floor pan at a time that will help you with keeping the body strong...

    Yes that is the one. And you are right it has a lot going for it. a lot of money wrapped up in that car but we all have a lot of money wrapped up into our cars. Most of us on here will never get back the money that we put into them. We do it because we love it. And the old saying goes, a car...

    Fitment issues with front fender extensions

    If it were me, I would build up that area of the extension with epoxy or panel adhesive and "sand in" the body line from the fender. Sometimes while dealing with reproduction parts(especially body panels) you have to get a little creative to get your desired results. Good luck. Hope this helps.

    Bellhousing question

    Stock would be externally balanced, so you will need the 28 oz flywheel.

    Bellhousing question

    As long as you're not dumping the clutch at 5500 rpm, I think you are safe with what you have. If you just want peace of mind and you already have the transmission out, Ford racing sells a billet steel flywheel for about 200 bucks. Make sure you get the 28 oz imbalance flywheel unless...

    Bellhousing question

    Bell housings typically don't blow apart unless the flywheel and/or clutch gives up. Run a billet steel flywheel with arp bolts and a good clutch set and you'll be ok.

    Restoring Exterior Reflective Lenses

    I just went through this with all of my lenses. I took them all in the kitchen and scrub them with mild dish soap and warm water with a scrub brush. Once they were dry, I then applied a plastic polish. I used Mcguires plastic polish but mothers makes some too. I did it by hand with a...

    Differences between 71 and 72?

    All very good points. I really wished ford continued producing the woodgrain insert in the long center consoles. I personally love the look. If anyone has one, I will pay $$$$$. Lol. I think 71 only had a "stamping indent" on the driver side trunk lid opening. On the body, not on the trunk lid.
