A friend of mine went to the event and sent me a few picts of the 71-73 he saw there and some pricy NOS parts. So (with his permission), I share them with you guys. May be its one of yours!?

How do you remove this long black trim? No idea how it's called. I've removed the screws expecting it to have some play, but not really. Is it squeezed in on the top (where I have the arrows)? Do I need do some kind of lever to make it move toward the front of car? Are there other hidden screws...

Hey guys, There was this week a topic on how to restore our dash/shifter chrome plastics... Because I'm doing some home plating for a while now, with pretty reasonable success on all kinds of parts using different metals, before I pick the way I will go to restore my 71's plastics, I wanted to...

I'm curious about what kind of solution you came up with to hold your phones. The dash having this inverted angle vs newer cars limits the options. Since I've upgraded to a newer, bigger better, gooder phone with also a more heavy (batt). The thingy I was using with my old lighter phone fails...

I've started restore my 71 dashboard. Over the past few years, I bought new bezels for both my cars. lighter, wipers, lights... from Ohio mustang. Seeing I forgot to buy the defrost one, I went look and can't find it. Went to other shops and same result. Is it not in reproduction? My 71 not...

Hi all, As the picture bellow suggests, my passenger B Pillar needs some "refurbishing"... I can/could cut and try reproduce the complex shape with multiple pieces of sheetmetal the best I can. but before I use my scalpel: Are there repops for these available? Haven't seen any... For Mustang...

Hi All, Been busy in past days (will update my thread soon) Came across 3 things. First on my 71, where i'm currently busy removing the interior: 1: how do you remove the fold down? There are 4 bolts on the front, 2 on each side and after removing these I couldn't do the expected: remove it...

I'm looking for info about how the silver (or black) is supposed to be painted. On this page, there are infos about masks around the doors, but nothing about the doors themselves. http://429mustangcougarinfo.50megs.com/paint_info.htm The exterior skin is obvious, it needs be masked either just...

Slowly but surely installing some parts back on my 71, I came across a few details.. 1/ What should I use to seal the wipers mechanism (the two rotating bits) once installed back into the cowl? I recall some sticky substance when I've removed them.   2/ I've received an idler arm from moogs...

One of the first car chase movie... by Claude Lelouche One take, no montage, no edits. He was charged for all the red lights, potential accidents that could have occurred as he refused to tell who drove the car, but not being the driver all was dropped...

Busy putting my proportioning valve apart for a good cleaning and install a new kit. Not a luxury after 50 years :D While one side went out with no problem, the other is something else. There is a screw, it doesn't feel like there is any thread there, so while it turns, it doesn't get out. So...

Funny how there was no hesitation to crack the "other" manufacturer back in the days... I don't know if that spot has aired lots, but it clearly fits into the myth that 71-73 had become or were lesser cars. The comments on youtube are also a funny read. Most coming from idiots with no source...

I still have drag on my wheels. Not much effort needed to let them turn by hand, but not free as they should. If the car has not be driven for a couple of days, no drag when I test. After small drives of couple of minutes the problem returns. I'm now pretty sure the rod of the booster is the...

On both sides of my 71, the thingy that holds the j-bolt allowing you to fasten the lower side of the fender is gone. As if someone really did not like these thingies! I need make a pair and weld these back. Tried look on my 73, but it's hard to really see without removing.. Sooo if anyone has...

Hey guys, Just received oil filters, so I can change oil now. Just before I do... I used to push 20w50 mineral rich in ZDDP for my 351c, but saw on few occasions across some reads that 10w30 could be a better choice. What are your thoughts on this? 

There were a few posts on these rare, expensive and 71 only pieces of plastic... https://www.ebay.com/itm/254827475338?fbclid=IwAR2JtIMqm7pbBL1c9SQmQWP5bhDazarI8LDPDUPvdWP2osJnq_IoI8hPhzg

Saw this one on Discovery last nite, in a show called over here, "GAS extreme customs" https://www.magnaflow.com/blogs/magnaflow/the-mach-22-joey-logano-s-custom-mustang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfDydyKjqZo&ab_channel=VMPPerformance...

Removed the rods today and couldn’t remove the big bushings in the eyes. I could be destructive as I will replace them, but want to stay civilized till I know how :) both cups seams to be flanged om the inner tubing... Do they need to be unscrewed somehow? I could rotate them a tad, but looked...

Busy looking at what I will need to restore the steering linkages, I've looked closer at the drag assy and it looks like it's crooked. Didn't really looked at it from this angle before, but both the eyes for the tie rods balljoints should be on the same line no? (weather is too bad to go crawl...

Could someone on the other side of the pond find/buy me a few screws for the power windows bezels of a 73 and put them in an envelop? I have been with the only correct one I have to shops dealing in "special" hardware, and while I've found other hard to find screws here, like the flat short...
