    Would you buy a 71-73 again?

    For me, if I was to buy another 71-73 it would be a vert. As my 72 coupe was bought by my dad when it was 6 months old, and I bought it when I turned 16, it is what I have. That said, I am glad that I still have it after all these years. But higher up the buy list would be either a 67-70...

    Dash pad Metal cover help

    I am in the process of putting my dash pad back in. Spent most of the afternoon working on it. My original one was cracked, so about 10 years ago I bought a replacement from dashes direct.  I think it was advertised as Ford tooling, but who knows. Color match with medium blue was very nice...

    Center pod removal

    Turns out I just installed my bezel a few weeks ago Yes, but it is held in place in 2 spots... 1) the heater/air conditioner bezel is hooked up and loosely holds the bottom in place...as a first step 2) the radio bezel (big hole under the tri gauge cluster) is what really holds/secures this...

    Speedometer gear changes (on tire size change)

    Due to relative lack of availability of 14” tires, I’m thinking about buying new rims/tires.  I haven’t landed on the size as of yet, but I am curious as to the impact of a larger diameter tire on the accuracy of the speedometer. I am curious as to if it might be a good idea to think about...

    Correct harness routing for map light installation

    For what it is worth, I ran my wiring through the tri gauge cluster hole, and then routed it up and around the glove box/cubby hole...as I had some extra length of wire on my splice. I was thinking about going the same as your route, but I wasn’t sure of how the dash pad cover would fit over...

    map light

    In my opinion it All depends what you want to do... if you are going concourse, then it will be expensive to get it all the concourse parts and harnesses (desirable if you have the $ and want to do it right). My car had the “map light delete plate” (a plastic cover that fills the hole) instead...
