Funny, the Everstart MAXX H6 is the same battery that's in my Saab 9-3. I've been using that brand in our daily driver vehicles for quite a number of years. Yes Deka is also good, and located not too far away from me. My next door neighbor works there. My '71 Mach 1 429 calls for the group...

Thanks- I see a few possibilities on that page.

Hi there-  Can you possibly let me know which aftermarket tips you are using for the 2.5" pipes?  My 429 CJ-R has long-tube headers and 2.5" pipes.  Would love to add the tips as a finishing touch if they are close to stock looking.

Thanks for that justdashes.com site.  I might also get a quote from them.  The original door panels on my '71 J-code look very nice and fit in well with the rest of the interior as far as condition.  My driver's side door pull is loose, which is common and I can deal with that.  A previous owner...

Spike-  Us bored long-time married guys want to know- did you?  heh heh

Yes incredible job there Ryan.  When I first read your reply I thought, what is this guy talking about, he has a urethane front bumper.  heh  I think it would take a certain skill level to get it that smooth.  I think it looks better than the actual urethane bumper, which is usually off a bit on...

On a Sportsroof the rear view mirror is almost useless.  Just use the accelerator pedal instead.  ;)

I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but did you forget a zero?  It's going to cost a lot more than $3000 to repair lots of rust damage and repaint the car.  Maybe a number of the panels could be saved if they are cleaned up internally and something like POR-15 is applied.  But removing, treating...

This is good advice regardless of what is being discussed.  Do not use Chinese *anything* if there is another choice.

It was too much hassle to re-shoot that scene so they left it as is.  Yes that transition scene in the alley is a hoot.  They didn't expect people to be analyzing the movie 49 years later, just like Ford didn't expect people to be restoring and driving these cars 49 years later.  lol  You were...

Do you mean the Hemmings car was changed to red from light pewter?  The door tag shows color code 3, which is bright red.  So maybe it was that different color and they restored it back to the original bright red?  Also, the axle code on the door tag is A, which is a 3.50 conventional axle...

Yes I just went out to the garage and mine has that 5th button "Lock".  I always assumed it was to lock out the other window controls, since that feature is even on our modern-day Navigator, and likely many other vehicles.  The Hemmings red car ad states "Power Windows & Locks", so perhaps...

It's like the 1967 James Bond film- "You Only Live Twice".  This car was original twice.  lol  Where did they get that $120K that is crossed out below the $72.9K.  Crazy.  As others have stated this car has a lot of things incorrect and should be way less.  It's only saving grace would be if the...

It would draw a lot of flak from lovers of other marques, but I have felt for a while that the '71 Ford Boss 351 might just be the best factory small block V8 engine ever manufactured.  Perhaps I should say smaller displacement engine rather than small block, you get the idea.  There is also the...

That's a great thing to have!  Is the 8-track player still in your car?  My first two cars had 8-track tape players.  I still have the Beatles White Album on 8-track buried somewhere in my moving boxes from decades ago (car was '68 GTO).

Great work- yes took a few weeks but this was no doubt in your spare time.  Your second gear theory makes sense as well.

I sure hope that's it.  From working in IT for 30+ years, it seems you have found "a" problem but possibly not "the" problem.  Still seems odd that this kink would cut off right at 3K rpms but allow up to 4K rpms when dropping down to second gear.  Well I guess you have to replace this section...

Hello-  Welcome to the forum.  From the looks of that picture, you had better get many more pictures.  Why do you need to make a decision quickly?  You could be in for a lot of sheet metal repairs / replacements.  If you expecting to do that anyway, then it might not be an issue.  Still, you'd...

Looks very nice- you did a much better job than a number of the original 1971 UAW guys at the factory! 😉  I have seen survivor cars with fairly low miles, no door sagging issues, and the stripes don't even meet up at the door and rear quarter panel.  lol

Just piling on here.  Beginning in 1980 and for a few years, I drove a '68 GTO 400 4 speed daily where I had opened the hood scoops.  The inserts were metal so I carefully cut out the opening in metal shop.  Didn't even flake off any of the paint around the opening.  Drove that car in rain and...
