Hi all, I'm looking into getting a new upholstery set for my 1971 Sportsroof. However, I'm need of some info. In regards to my poor 1971 Sportsroof back seat area. All of the seat, trim, and supporting sheet metal was removed before I got the car. Metal parts were totally hacked out. I think...

Hi All, I have an opportunity to get the spare 9 inch rear axle i have been hanging onto for my Sportsroof rebuilt at a good price, and need to decide on a gear ratio for it. The car is not a racer, it's a mild 351W/4 speed currently with a 3.00 ratio in it now, which has been fine, but as long...

Hi All, Getting back to work on my Mustang projects, one of the three I need to tackle is getting a new HVAC box installed in my 71 Fastback. The box in the car is very weathered, and the movable doors inside were rusted in place, gentle persuasion broke the fiberglass at the pivots. So need a...

Hi All, Trying to get back to work on my projects, one of the three I need to tackle is getting a new top installed on my 71. I have noted here that E-Z ON and Kee are recommended vendors. Does anyone have any other vendor names? Also, I am going to farm this out. Does anyone in the Riverside...

Hello, trying to get some projects moving, a big one is getting a dual exhaust kit for my 71 fastback with a 351W and a manul trans. I am looking at the Pypes system, #SFM04S, which sates it is a specific fit for the 71-73 year cars. I was also considering the Flowmaster system for a 1970...

Hi all, After a day of cleaning the trunk area from decades of fluid leakage and spills, I buttoned everything up last night, ran the top through a couple of cycles, and had a top hose part company with a cylinder. Along with the inevitable lotsa-fluid-leakage and choice-words-leakage, I now...

Hi all, hope it's OK to post this here. If not, lemme know... I recently replaced the front suspension on my 71 Convertible. I have what I think are factory original (71k mile car) upper and lower control arms and perches which are in decent condition and I imagine are rebuildable for someone...

Hi all, Trying to get back to work on the Mustang projects. Need help with longer wheel studs. I am putting alloy wheels that take acorn style lug nuts on my 71 Vert, and due to the thicker mounting pad on the wheel, I would like to put in longer wheel studs. The car has front disc brakes and...

Heh, fun never ends... Driving home, car was running horrible, again. Was running sooo nice on the way to work, too. Turned out I had another bad vacuum cap which caused the bad idle, again. While walking around the car to fix this, I find a trail of fluid going down the driveway and into the...

Needed to do a brake pad replacement on my dads '99 Crown Vic, and while waiting for rear pads to come in (not in stock? huh?), I decided to readjust the rear shoes on my car. And finally had time to try Crown Vic rims on the car. Fit is nice, no rubbing. I have searched for a while for info or...

Hi All, Working on the rear brakes on my 71 Sportroof. Car was originally a 302-2V with a 3 speed manual and 8" rear. Rear axle was converted to a 9" from a 69 Cougar, but the rear backing plates from the 8" were changed over to the 9". Did this with a sealed system as I had already replaced...

Hi all, Sorry for the long intro, have covered a lot of ground before getting here. Had been looking long ago for a 1971-1973 Mustang site, only found one looong ago for people with 71-73 Mach 1’s. Don’t know what ever happened to that one. Joined a few other Mustang and Ford forums, those...
