‘73 Q code Mach 1

Although, using seam sealer on a lap joint weld would prevent rust causing moisture.

We seem to be the minority. I was surprised to learn that many if not most 1,2,3 fans are actually not fans of their taillights.

Convertibles had the one piece back.

I wont put the currently available aftermarket louvers on my car. They look too cheap. But I NEED to get a set of these.

I dig where it's going. My only input would be to increase the radius of the pinstripe tape to match the radius of the center square.

Impressive. I like where your head is. The '69 dash is my favorite too. I used the dustless blasting too and despite what I was told, it flashed by morning. You wouldn't be in the Detroit area would you?

My hinges were in good shape but the bushings needed replacement. instead of the regular cheap and simple rebuild kit I spent the big bucks, $72, on "Mustang Steve's" upgrade kit that is particularly good for those hinges with rounded out holes. The kit is robust with much bigger bushings that...

I bought some additional braces for the roof having read a post here about how soft the roof can be, particularly when sanding out filler. Note that the factory braces only fit well in it's original location because the roof is more narrow to the front and wider in the back. The rear had to be...

I haven't updated this build in a year but there has been progress. I've been frequenting the Facebook page with some updates. I have installed a free floating three link axle with watts link from Street or Track. The truck and tail panel steel has been replaced. The three link requires...

Yes, Melodies and Memories the day after the Dream Cruise. I never miss it.

I too live in the Detroit area, Roseville. I hope to see your car at a show next year sometime.

But the '69 Mach 1 had a black out hood without painted rockers, Scott. And it looks fantastic. Painting the rocker panels tends to give a slimmer appearance if that is something you would like. I find your car refreshing without them. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I don't believe the MII is the worst driving at all. It was superior to the Previous Mustangs. There are still at least a half of a dozen different Manufacturers building MII kits for various cars today, even non-Fords. I have installed this kit one my '73 but I will be of no use to claim its...

What about the idea of fabricating a piece of steel to fill the gap and entirely welding it in? Was it originally designed to be a flexible point? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I'll keep it in mind. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

About fifteen years ago I discovered an excellent method. Fine grit sand in the sandblaster removed all white decroated plastic and what remained looked like a new plastic part. No painting. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

My dash is out and I searched for the plug with print in hand. No success. But my car is a late year, July 1973. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

In this picture you can see how far my ten inch wheels stick out (no tire yet). I'm considering shortening the axle and flares. A four link kit with adjustable coil over shocks will allow me to tune the height and ride. The reconditioned wheels are a bit dirty but will look delicious with...

I didn't do anything all summer but now it's winter and I've been laid off. I finished cutting out both wheel wells to accommodate 30 inch tires. I even removed about an inch and a half of rocker to get the room. It's not tubbed but I excised the outer curve of the outer wheel well. I...
