Hey all, I got around to get the 429 TJ motor in my 72 running. Everything is hooked up and no visible leaks anywhere after running for about 3 minutes at idle with occasional revs. I get in the car to turn it off and notice the oil light on the instrument panel is lit up. I quickly shut off the...

I'm replacing the timing chain and gears on the motor and while the job is pretty easy and straight forward, I need some advice on getting around an obstacle. Long story short, how do I remove the crankshaft bolt (harmonic balancer bolt) without turning the crankshaft? I need to slide the crank...

Hey all, long story short, I removed my water pump from the used 429 motor sitting in the car because it was leaking from the weep hole on the bottom when I went to fill her up with fluid. Took the water pump off and found this: When I took off the pump I broke one of the bolts going from...

Does anyone know the correct adapter I need to hook up a GM style saginaw pump to the stock power steering pressure hose? I have tried 3/8 NPT to 3/8 NPT and that apparently is not the correct size. After researching for a while I found the mustang pressure hose fitting is 16mm? Has anyone done...

Does anyone know if the brake lines are identical whether hooking up to an 8 inch or a 9 inch or will the brake lines have to be modified if doing this swap....Found a 9 inch from a 71 mustang and am wanting to know what this swap will entail as far as brake lines go.

Has anyone had to convert to a cable shifter instead of the old shift rod? I can find aftermarket stuff that will let me mount a bracket to hold the cable on the transmission side but not the floor shifter side. I'll need something similar up at the floor shifter...I've heard the cable goes up...

Alright, so I bought a "FMX/C6" crossmember off ebay a while back to mount my C6 and ran into a couple of issues. During install, I let the weight of the car fall on top of the crossmember while only 1 side was bolted in which I think bent the crossmember slightly (entire weight of car w/ big...

Alright, so I found a decently priced 9 inch from a '58 Edsel to handle the 429 swap motor. The guy selling it told me its 60" and has the 43" spring perch length that the mustang uses. It's got 3.56 gears with the old 5x5 bolt pattern. My question is this: is there anything I'm not considering...

Does anyone know where each of the small hose tubing goes to from the heater and A/C control module on the dash? I'm looking for a full complete routing description because they are all disconnected from their endpoints besides one of them. If you're not sure what exactly I'm describing, it is...

Ok so I need help understanding what the passenger side wiper arm entails. Long story short is I got the car with only the driver side wiper on it. My question is what does the wiper arm on the passenger side look like and where can I find a replacement? The drivers side has the pivot arm...

Hey guys/gals, it's good to be back on the site. I need to update my project pics but I am in a predicament I've never dealt with before. I was trying to start the new engine in the '72 when I realized all of my connections are just receiving power at all times. I cannot find a switchable power...

The Mother's Polish Classic car show is at Pismo Beach June 20-22. Anyone going? It would be cool to meet up with some fellow mustangers off this site.

So I was looking through craigslist for mustang parts and came across this coupe. It completely changed my plans for the paint scheme and I think if your stang has a non-mach1 hood, these stripes are the way to go! What do yall think? I think it looks perfect.

Does anyone know an online retailer that sells those trunk filler panels? It's the cutout that makes the trunk flat from where it drops off. I can't find anywhere that sells them for our years. They do for 64-68 but nothing after that. I guess these are on the list of "rare" parts...

Bought this coupe with this rear damage. My questions are 1. Am I screwed? 2. If not, is it fixable 3. Any way to fix this myself? (No body work experience) and 4. Is there supposed to be some indentation along the bottom like that? Any body work guys or those with experience would be helpful...

I'm seeing if anyone else had or has a mustang where the glove box door isn't completely flat or doesn't sit flush with the dash console. I bought the car unrestored and found that pushing the glove box in a little more after it's been latched seems to help keep it flush but either way the door...

And so here it begins. This will be a work in progress of the rebuild (restomod) of the 1972 Ford Mustang coupe. Expect photos but this might be slow due to working 5 days a week and earning basic pay! Also, the majority of the first photos will be strictly procurement of parts. I plan to show...

So I know I have to switch the motor mounts on my '72 since I will be going from an old 302 to a 429. However, the mounts are technically 2 pieces. You have the brackets that hook to the frame (crossmember) and you have the insulator that bolts on to that which is what actually bolts to the...

Hey all, just bought a 1972 Mustang hardtop last week from the original owner out here in California. No rust, no motor and plenty of body flaws. Bought her for 500 bucks. Then bought a 1971 Thunderjet 429 motor for 500 this weekend. I'm pretty excited to have one of these Mustangs. I love this...
