    Re-visiting 3 point seat belt conversions.

    Hello everyone, although this is an older topic, I am dealing with the same here. My situation is, I am 5-11 and my wife is 5-2. I bought Scott Drake belts, but they dig into both our necks. What are your findings since 10-2021? Thank you

    3 point seat belts

    Stanglover, Thank you for the info and the pics. I will take photos and details of mine and upload here for your feedback. I am also going to look at Seat Belt Planet, but wait to purchase until my details are worked out. I too would rather have the retractable and not the free belt style. In...

    3 point seat belts

    Stanglover, I installed a set of retractable 3 points in my 72. I bought them from Scott Drake I seem to remember. However, ever since I installed them, they have been nothing but a pain in the neck, and I mean the side of my and my wife's neck. We have tried all the nifty add Ons to try and...

    Anyone do Classic Auto Air?

    rcadd1ct, that is one cool looking set-up. I am guessing you installed the Classic Auto Air system. What is your opinion of the operation of the AC system? Did it meet your expectation for cooling? Thank you and all others for your input. This is a huge purchase and requires feedback from...

    RIBS, Thank you for the info. Since my last primary post in 1-2021, I still monitor for additional info. Seeing how our projects and/or completed Mustangs continue to cause an intrest in these topics, Thank you for the reply. I will look into the AC system you recommend. That is the item my...

    1973 Mach 1 a/c conversion

    My recommendation is to not use those types. There is a reason for their non-approval: https://www.aa1car.com/library/flammable_refrigerants.htm When R-12 was first made unavailable, we in the aircraft community began looking for a replacement for the aircraft AC systems. It did not take too...

    1973 Mach 1 a/c conversion

    Good advice all around. I am faced with the same delima. This is what I am looking into. Any users out there? https://www.originalair.com/71-73-mustang-cougar-ac-performance-upgrade-kit-v8-stage-3 I have converted several cars over the early years of 134, and each one was not as efficient as I...

    Anyone do Classic Auto Air?

    Thank you for the added input, as I am thinking of an aftermarket system too. My MACH I is a factory air car, and in the distant past it worked, but like older systems, the loss of R-12 to operate it correctly, I am having to consider my options now. I may have converted it to 134A in the past...

    To EFI or Not EFI, that, and which one, is the question.

    I have enjoyed the EFI talk, thinking of one for myself. However, I had to comment on this under hood art work. Could you post a pic of the lucky car this rest in? Great work!

    Shipping sucks

    I remember when a guy would walk into a speed or hobby shop owned by some local person, or Hot Rod chain store and buy off the shelf. Recently the last local store here closed due to on-line sales. Now they own us. I still stop by my local Autozone, Oreillys, & NAPA trying to keep them in...

    71-73 Mustang Values

    Man, those pics sure bring back old memories. The burns were a bit before my time, but I remember the look. I was more of a shaggy haired skateboarder. However, that 70's look for the gals is unforgettable. You know, it is interesting, all the people I have known from all over, we all seem to...

    Thanks for the help. I will look into those covers. Stanglover, great looking car. I started to blackout the hood when I painted, but decided, with feedback from family to keep the original look.

    71-73 Mustang Values

    Stanglover, NP with the change of pace on the topic. You are correct, we have to relax and remember the "good old days", our good old days from time to time. I grew up in P'cola FL, and had a jacket very similar to that one myself for our short winters. That pic brings back some fun memories of...

    71-73 Mustang Values

    I do need some replacement front seat covers. Any recommendations? I also need to put the MACH I decals on it, so can someone help me with this question. This was my now wife of 40 years car in high school. Here is a photo in 1980. This is all the decals on it when she got it in 78. Is this...
