Have you tried SMS? They seem to have upholstery for every vehicle ever made. They had NOS upholstery material for my Burnt Orange '73 F100 Explorer Special pickup, and they were able to make the seat covers for me. Not cheap, but THE real thing, not repop.

Sounds like good ol' fuel boiloff. When you park the car, heat from the engine rises up and causes the fuel in the carburetor float bowl to heat up and vaporize. Common problem with carbureted cars.

Correct. My '72 convertible has the Exterior Decor Group. It did include the Mach 1-style grille with sportlamps, two-tone paint, caps 'n rings, and some other stuff. People often ask me if my convertible is a Mach 1 since it looks like a Mach 1 without the sloped roof. I've had to explain...

I bought a gray powdercoated tank off eBay that looks like the one shown above. Looked good, seems to be of good quality, and fits perfectly. No issues. Free shipping, too!

Side marker lights are wired to the running lights. They do not blink with the turn signals.

This is a MUST. Internet theft is rampant these days. I buy and sell radio equipment on a popular amateur radio web site. Due to the amount of fraud, the site no longer allows "Wanted" ads for anything more than low-cost piece parts. Sellers must include photos of their items with a...

Yes, already claimed.

When I restored my car back in 1990-91, I went with a set of 600 lb., 1-1/2 in drop springs. I always use KYB Gas-A-Just shocks (just replaced them recently as the old ones were leaking from age). Never had a problem with the suspension bottoming out and the car sits "just right".

Don't delete the heater. You'll regret it someday. If you have the budget, look into an aftermarket heat/air system. Now's the time to do it since you have the car apart anyway!

A simple H-pipe will sound good and will help to balance the exhaust pressure between the two sides. I have one on my car.

There's nothing you can do about the other driver. His bow wave would be simply considered a "road hazard", same as if you hit a piece of debris on the pavement while driving. Law enforcement would tell you that you shouldn't have been driving on a flooded road.

You must remove the caliper locating pins. They go in from the back side of the caliper. Here are some snapshots from the Ford shop manual.

Apology accepted! No harm done. Simply a misunderstanding. We're good! :)

Let me guess... the seller wants you to send the money via Western Union? Someone tried that one with me a long, long time ago. Fortunately someone with more experience in such things set me straight before I became a victim.

Bought my first Mustang in 1987, which was a '66 Sprint 200 hardtop. '66 Sprint 200 hardtop '72 convertible '69 Shelby GT350 fastback '95 GT convertible '02 GT coupe '05 GT coupe '10 GT coupe '12 GT convertible Still own the '72 convertible. Bought it in 1988. No plans to ever sell it...

I agree with Cleveland Crush. Water Wetter would help, and if you live in an area where it doesn't get below 0 deg F, run 30% antifreeze and 70% water. That combination is good down to 0 deg F and raises the boiling point by about 30 degrees. Try the simple things first before you spend a lot...

I'll PM you the information, Mike.

*** SNORKEL HAS BEEN CLAIMED *** I have this air cleaner snorkel that came from a '71 Mach 1 with 351C-2v Ram Air. Want it? Pay the shipping and it's yours.

*** BRACKETS HAVE BEEN CLAIMED *** I have these A/C compressor brackets that I don't need. They came from a '72 convertible with a 351C-2v engine. Want 'em? Pay the shipping and they're yours. If someone doesn't claim these by Wednesday 08/28, they're going out with the trash!

I've also heard it called a steering column cuff.
