Thank you and everyone. I took my car out this morning and it did not shift at all. I basically had reverse and 1st gear. My friend agreed that it might be a vacuum hose. I had him come over. We took off the air filter cover. He shined his flash light behind the carburetor and said there it is...

Thank you

All of a sudden my automatic 3 speed transmission is not shifting properly. My 71 Mach 1 came with a 302 2V and I am not sure but may be the original transmission. The car when I bought it has a 351W and had a 4bbl put in. I have owned approximately 5 yrs with no major problems. I only drive...

Passenger side mirror will stay adjusted. Shut the door or hit a bump and it goes out of adjustment. I have tried googling but seem to find buy or replace. Any way to tighten?

Thanks everyone. It took a lot of calling but found a paint shop would make me w can of spray paint to match. Not sure if the used the code or matched the quarter panel I brought in. Put another coat of adhesive promoter then to more coats of paint. I think it now looks pretty good and have them...

I am back again looking for paint help. I have found a place that will make me a spray can with the color I need if I have the color code. I have tried Ford but car is to old. I also do not have the sticker on the door. I know the exterior is Bright. I need the interior color code for Vermillion...

Thank all of you for advice, I appreciate it.

I started this new post even though I had one before but getting confusing. Hope no one has a problem. I purchased SEM vermillion red which is the interior color of my 71 Mach 1. I sprayed on the adhesive promoter as directed and 4 coats of the SEM paint. I ended up using the whole can and was...

Thank you for the very good information and pics. It is good to hear about the consistency of the 2 part epoxy. I am going to do some quarter panel repairs using the J B Weld putty stick. I do not have any cracks juts gouges and worn areas. I need to work on the front not back. I plan on...

Thanks, I have SEM paint.

I have the paint, texture stamp. Once I have filled the gouges, scratches. Should I use a spray promoter/primer? If so, what brand should I use? I do not want a spray that might cover the texture. I have read about some that sounds like it sprays on to thick.

I made an attempt on making a texture stamp. I don’t think it turned out to bad. Getting the epoxy filler smooth and using the stamp at the right time just before it sets up works.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have purchased SEM flexible color coat from NDP. They say it will match the Vermillion for 71 - 73 Mustangs which is what I have found is the color. We’ll see.

I need to get it pretty close to so smooth at application since I am going to stamp the texture into it just before it dries. Anything will look better than the gouges. Going by a youtube video “How to copy a texture especially plastic.”

Thank you all for the great advice. I am going to look at the JB Weld for plastic. It states it works on ABS plastic.

Thanks for the advice. It was suggested using DAP Tank bond but not sure, never used.

I have asked before and received 1 answer in another forum (bondo) pictures I need to fill and paint gouges in my plastic rear side panels (pictures attached) of my 71 Mach1. I have purchased the correct matching paint from advice I have received on this forum and other forums. But first I have...

That’s right, sorry I completely forgot about all the info I received on the Vintage Mustang Forum. Just getting old and involved in to many forums. I appreciate just receiving the link and not criticism of asking before.

Tagging on to your thread, hope it is ok. My 71 Mach1 interior color is Vermillion red. I am trying to find where I can buy Spray paint to match. My rear side panels are all sun damaged. Anyone know where to find?

On my 71 Mach 1 the interior rear view mirror is bad lower center just above the day night switch. I have owned for 3 years it is not numbers matching. At some time the stock 302 2V was replaced with a 3t1 4 V Windsor. Which I had a 4 bbl installed. Should I go with an after market mirror...
