    1971 Grande Project

    I'm referring to the filler panel between the trunk lid and the back window. You guys are thinking about the quarter panel extensions, they have a gasket that goes between it and the quarter panel. It is made of some type of pot metal.

    Thanks alot, that really helps. I am going to try and get the filler panel and tail light panel completely welded in this weekend. I am thinking about welding the seem where the filler panel meets the quarter panel. Give it that seemless look. Any pros or cons in doing that?

    The T5 is completely taken apart and washed. I purchased a rebuild kit and have to order a cluster shaft and input shaft. The gears look to be in good shape. I have also been working on the rear of the body. Had to patch several areas around the trunk seal. I also patched several areas on the...

    I purchased a used T5 last weekend for $50.00. I have completely disassembled it and ready to start the rebuild. I am glad I got it so cheap because it has at least one gear that needs replaced and the counter shaft will need replaced also. I still think I can rebuild for less than $500.00...

    I was wondering if anyone may have a drivers side A-pillar lying around that is not rusted out. I started doing some repair on mine but have stopped for now. Thought I would reach out and see if someone on here may have one. Sometimes it is a lot easier to replace than to repair.

    Thanks, I have a trunk lid that I just purchased off of ebay and it is pretty nice. I got it for $10.00, could not believe nobody bid on it. I am going to check my frame measurements tonight. Before I welded the rear cross member I did get everything level and made sure the frame rails were...

    This car originally was a 302 with a FMX transmission and an 8 inch rear end. My plan is to install a 351 windsor with a T5 and upgrade to a 9 inch rear end. I want to have a little fun with it on Sunday afternoons. I am purist at heart and like to keep things original. However, this car has so...

    1971 Grande Project

    Finally found a website for 71 - 73 mustangs. I have been posting on other sites for a couple years but I do not get a lot of help from those folks. Here is a little history on what I have. I obtained a 71 Grande a few years back that was in fair shape but restorable. I was able to get it and a...
