Welcome from the beautiful NW!

Excellent commentary everyone. I will be replacing all dash lighting when mine comes apart. Thanks!

In the end - it's your car. What you are describing are mostly bolt-on and can be changed back if so desired by a perspective buyer in the future. It is not a highly collectible car, nor are you going to show it in a Concourse class it sounds like. The other side is that restomods have come up...

1972 Mach 1 Q-Code automatic If there are no privacy concerns, it may be easier to ask the moderator for the data on membership. Might save a bunch of tallying.

Bahahaha. Cheers!

Much of the 35k I am about to pour into my 1972 Mach 1! Lol.

Sorry Midlife, I was momentarily distracted by pic in your signature. Lol. Aha! Got it everyone. What I thought was a butt splice or 40 year old pice of brittle pice of shrink tubing was indeed a "bullet" connector. I found one of these in the quarter recess of the trunk and it snapped and...

Uhh. Mmm... Looks like a 70's Plymouth something or another. Give you an I for Ingenuity but not sure if it would fit a Mustang.

Welcome from the beautiful NW. The jump from a Vette to a Mustang will not be that painful. I have bounced between Chevelles, Impalas and Mustangs. Unlike GM, Ford did not build a car and drop whatever engine into it. Ford built the car around the engine. So, make sure the car you buy has the...

I am not struggling with getting the body grommet out. I can see how I may have misled you. I just want to remove an electrical connection so I can pull the wire and grommet out together. It looks like the wire is soldered to the lamp assembly so the lamp assembly will not fit through the hole...

I am doing the disassembly on a 1972 Mach 1. I have removed the rear bumper (Ugh. 42 years of rust) and the rear license plate light housing is next. Obviously the wire must be removed to release the light housing. The wire goes into the socket on one end and into the rear trunk harness on the...

I am disassembling a 1972 Mach 1 and just removed the pop open gas cap last weekend. My cap was rusted as well but original to my knowledge. It looks exactly like yours pictured. I believe you have an original or NOS. Either way - you likely have the real McCoy. My opinion is that the pop open...

Congrats on your first Mustang purchase! I remember that feeling as well. I was 18. I am also working on a 72 but it is not in the shape that yours is. Good luck and you have come to the right place for advice and support.

Greetings and welcome from Oregon, USA. That reminds me - I need to post my pics.

Thank you for the encouragement and insight. I looked at your project pics. Boy, I am feeling better already regarding the condition of my car. Wow! Well done. Your car is absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you for the words of encouragement. Fortunately I have mechanical aptitude and patience. I will likely farm out most of the work but may change my mind on that. Don't have to decide anything yet. Just take it apart. One question for you. I have looked through CJ Pony parts and CA Mustang...

Thank you for the input. Since the floor pans and trunk need to be replaced, the hood, trunk lid, and doors are all coming off. Then all exterior bright work and emblems. Then interior, engine compartment and everything under. Anyhow, that's my vision now but I have 6 months of tear down to do...

I am not sure there are many reusable components. The interior is shot, floor pans/trunk are swiss cheese and engine/tranny need rebuilt. So, basically, every inch of this car will be replaced or restored. However, the body is actually in decent shape. If I had it to do again, I would have...
