    Installed lowering springs, have a question

    I believe it was leonardo Davinci who said that "art is never finished, only abandoned". You clearly take after the master, it's great to watch you constantly evolving your car. Looking forward to seeing your latest iteration.

    First trip to the park for some glamour shots

    Nice car, looks great! Just a tip for all you guys shooting your cars, if you want to avoid the wide angle distortion, back up farther away from your car and zoom in with your lens (assuming you have a zoom lens.) Try to be shooting at greater focal length than 50mm. Also try to get even with...

    Dim….Very Dim instrument lighting

    Dim lights are a common issue on these cars. As John J mentioned the fix a lot of us have done is LEDs, plus replacing the headlight switch. You could replace the voltage regulator that's attached to the back of the cluster while you are there and probably the printed circuit just to be safe...

    Power Polishing your Mustang for Top Results

    I also would like to know if you recommend any particular brands. I've personally had good luck with the meguiars ultimate compound and ultimate polish, but only tried it so far by hand. I do have the dual action polisher that comes with the power system kit but have only tried it on small...

    Air Conditioning Upgrade for the 73 Coupe

    With some hesitancy, I would say that my experience with the classic air auto system we installed last summer in my mach 1 was not all roses. In general it's a well thought out system, but there are definitely some issues. The mount for the compressor especially seems like it could be better...

    How to check and fill FMX transmission

    Thanks guys. That's what I needed. This forum is a great resource. I will check and top it off as soon as it warms up a bit. I started with a pan gasket leak and I've had a couple different mechanics try to seal it/get it to be flat and the pan may be fixed now but the transmission is still...

    How to check and fill FMX transmission

    Hey guys. I know the information I need is already out there but google searching has brought me conflicting information, so I thought I'd ask the collective wisdom of the board. I have a 1971 mach 351 Cleveland with an FMX transmission. The trans is of course leaking small drips onto the...

    Dimming dash lights

    I pulled out the blue diffusers, replaced my headlight switch and swapped out all the bulbs to LEDs and I have great night visibility on my gauges. Jeff73mach1 also has a headlight relay he recommends to take some of the load off the headlight switch. I just use LED headlights.

    Ringtone immaturity

    Not everyone loves the sound of a big V8 engine, so I grant grace when people annoy me in hopes that it is granted back to me. Especially since I also have a ducati with an aftermarket muffler.

    Instrument panel wiring

    Good for you keeping it period correct. A little extra challenging but extra rewarding too. I believe what midlife does is you pull your existing harness out and send it to him and then he sends it back to you cleaned up and refurbed and whatever else you need on it. He is well respected on...

    Instrument panel wiring

    You're probably too far down the road to do this, but I used a modern tach (original face) from Bob at http://www.rccinnovations.com it's $180 if you have the idiot light core still. and it's easy to connect. I think it was power and a wire to my MSD. It works beautifully. It dropped right...
