    Replacement Top DYI

    http://www.convertibletopguys.com/convertible/387/1971-73-Ford-Mustang I was pleased with the kit overall. It came with everything but the instructions left a lot to be desired. I had taken 50+ photos as I took it apart and that helped a lot. The new tack material works good. The pads that came...

    Sound off if you have a convertible

    The wheels are 17" American Racing Hopsters. The guy before me put them on. I was thinking of getting Magnum 500 when I got the car 1 1/2 years ago. It had a white vinyl top that was old & had holes. Once I got the black top on, and the black Mach 1 side stripes, I decided to leave the...

    Sound off if you have a convertible

    I just "finished" my '73 and am just driving it now. From the factory: 351C, C6, NASA Hood, Appearnce Group, Sport Mirrors, Console, blue interior. I have the original bill of sale and factory sheet with pencil marks for installed options. Its been repainted once, same color (close). 117K miles...

    Replacement Top DYI

    I finished the top a few weekends ago. Just added the Mach 1 stripes. A lot of work and I would do a few things different next time. The line up of the rear bow should be about .75" higher than what I did but it works and doesn't leak. Also I don't think the cloth top streches as much as a stock...

    Front window felts 72 Mach

    I bought mine from Mustangs Unlimited. I think about $70 for set for all four needed inside & out. Fairly easy to put in once you take the door panel off. Cleaned up some overspray from when the last owner had painted it. While I was at it, I repainted the pull handle and hard plastic part...

    Replacement Top DYI

    I'm in the final stages of doing my top myself. I am so detailed, its better I do it myself but I'm sure I didn't save any money. I do hope to have a better job once done than if I hired it. I did one on a '66 Olds Delta 88 about twenty years ago in a weekend, but only had to do the vinyl. My...

    New to 7173 and 1st classic Mustang

    Thanks. I will do that. I plan on hitting the aluminum radiator with black as well. Did you have your car at the Kaneohe Air Base Air Show in late Sept. 2010? I saw a nice coupe with the Ram Air and Magnum 500's there when we were on vacation and attended the show.

    New to 7173 and 1st classic Mustang

    Been looking off & on at 71-73 convertibles for about ten years. Mine was built when I was in Junior High and neighbors had them new at the time. I fell in love then. I preferred the 73 for the front end treatment and wanted a cloned Mach 1 look or was going to do it myself. I bought a 73...

    3 point seatbelt conversion

    I was at work yesterday when I posted and planned on taking some photos to add today. Here they are. The bracket in the door jamb doesn't look too bad and doesn't interfere with door closing at all. You drill through two sheet metal pieces and the interior 1/4 plastic to get the bolt through...

    3 point seatbelt conversion

    I just installed the 3 point set in my 73 conv. this weekend. Very pleased with results. Buckles look period original though don't match what I took out. Wanted the shoulder harness and didn't like the safety aspects of 40 year old belts. I bought the set from Mustangs Unlimited $200+. Used only...
