Do you have the urethane bumper and painted trim, or the chrome bumper and chrome front of the hood trim? If it’s the chrome (as in the last of your 4 pictures) then another option for you to consider is to get the nasa hood inserts chromed. That’s what I did...i painted the hood all one...

Welcome from a fellow Albertan By the looks of it you are well along the way on your Mach 1, but have a few hours of work in left front of you. Looks like you have lots of room to “get er done” look forward to updates on your progress best of luck

Wow, great stories AND I have to say, that you have had some great cars in your driveway. I don’t have the stories, nor the past history of the cars I’ve owned well done!

Get well soon my mom just a hip replaced last Friday...was bone on bone and she was in a tremendous amount of pain The hospital discharged her the following day...no more hip pain...but currently dealing with the incision pain it sucks to get old (or older) when stuff starts to break down

I assume they have what I think is referred to as aluminum oxidization on them? (a white residue that feels rough and looks bad). got Picts to share? I’m not sure if it’s the same issue, but I have a 2006 gmc truck with factory aluminum rims that had this issue (pict is of a new rim). As I...

Changing the subject slightly Cost of batteries, just like everything else, has gone up in price over that last few years. I just replaced a battery for my Acura MDX on the weekend old one was cdn $120 in 2019 at Costco...new one last weekend was CDN $170 ($50 increase over 3 years) beauty with...

Never tried myself, but There is a older YouTube video made by WCCC (west coast classic cougars) that is worth a view (Leaving the doors on the car...as cougars and mustang are very similar). i don’t know how to copy/attach the video here but just search “ door hinge rebuild -1969 cougar”. He...

When I redid my seats a couple years ago (pre pandemic) ....for my car (coupe) there was no foam made or available for the rear seat (Just the front seats). The appolsterer stuffed the rear seat with a packing material (not exactly sure what it was called ..but looked similar to cotton batting)...

I had the same issue on my car For my c4 automatic transmission, it was a faulty neutral safety switch attached is a repop picture for reference purposes I found on the web it attaches to the transmission and runs up the firewall and plugs in good luck

Dash pad screws...6 or 7 of them if I recall it correctly...all under the lip of the dash pad...I ended up buying the entire interior kit, and labeled the old ones all on disassembly (was pricy and overkill for what I needed...but worked for me)

I believe that the screws at the top go into your dash pad. the screws that go through the radio bezel and center console are the other attaching screws if I recall it correctly. the lower portion is loosely held in place by the heater cables but there are no screws down there good luck

For what it’s worth, my 72 (manufactured in oct 71) had the entire seat track sitting above the carpet. I just cut out the 4 holes for each seat, and bolted the seat down (along with the other required holes...seat belts, low/high beam switch, shifter, and other assorted odds & sods). i think it...

I am, by no way an expert, but I recall reading something somewhere that if the factory tach craps out, your car won’t run potentially leaving you stranded...I believe some guys get around this by wiring in a bypass jumper wire that will let you run the engine to get you home). if I recall it...

The expert weighed in...awesome

Tach (with rocket man idiot light conversion to modern technology) is 2 wires. One to power (live when key is turned on), the other to the coil(i think negative side) tri gauge cluster oem power goes through the IVR(pulsing power from the factory that effectively reduces power from 12 volts to...

A couple years ago, I converted my idiot light cluster to tach (via sending it to rocket man for conversion) and i installed the center console tri gauge cluster (had rocketman convert the alt meter to a volt meter.) I had an oem factory tach cluster as well, but chose to go the conversion...

Congrats!

There is an alleged ‘72 sprint currently advertised for sale here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on Kijiji.ca as attached...(custom paint job ...asking cdn$15,000) (that’s roughly US $11.5k using ~1.30 exchange rate). if it‘s a real sprint, it certainly does not currently have a vinyl roof. (Not...

WooHoo!! So close you can smell it Get that beast on the road for a test drive! I am sure there will be a ton of minor adjustments yet to tinker with, but it’s close to the end of July....not sure how long the driving season is up in Alaska, but I bet the window closes by the end of sept good...
