Back in the day, I heard it said you could drop a golf ball down a 2v port and a tennis ball down a 4v port. :ROFLMAO:

You did good to cut the new panel oversize. It's amazing how far the rust can travel and weaken the remaining panel, so that you end up blowing holes through it when you weld. I bought a " Lincoln 110V, gas shielded, wire feed Mig" for doing my sheet metal work. I've read online, and talked to...

Back in the day, I usually left my rear seat folded down. I used speaker boxes that fit 6x9 speakers and put them on each side of the trapdoor and used Velcro to hold them in place on the carpet. Good sound without butchering the panels. With the rear seat up, they would sit behind the seat...

I had a '68 Mustang that had a big hole under the battery tray. I got a repop panel, but cut at the bend on top to save the original top strap that had the fender bolt holes, and VIN. I used a spot weld cutter along the sides and bottom to remove the old panel, drilled holes in the new piece for...

You could also contact Kevin Marti. He used to do custom searches of his database (standard rates may apply) and could probably tell you if any were made, and maybe even the VIN's if they exist.

In Rick Ybarra's Boss 351 book, he shows no 4F cars out of 670 registered cars.

Here's a picture of an electric trunk release kit with a 1969 part number. The actuator was part of the latch mechanism. Hard to believe Ford would have made it bigger and clunkier a few years later.

I wish I had the skill to do something like that.......and the wisdom not to.

Looks like a well optioned Mach 1 before he took the ax to it. I have to admit, I kind of like the direction he took, for the most part.

It would depend on what they want for the car, and how much rust it has. I have a friend that had a Boss 302 with a sunroof, and the body shop fixed it so you couldn't even tell, but it wasn't cheap. It would be cool to save it, but if you haven't done one before, and have to have others do a...

I'm currently working on my '69 Fairlane convertible. The inner rockers are shot. Aftermarket parts aren't available, so I found a sheet metal shop locally that was willing to custom fab both sides. I had to cut out the old ones and take him what was left as a pattern. They aren't concours...

I believe one difference is the "Boss" bellhousings are cast iron, instead of cast aluminum.

In Rick Ybarra's Boss 351 book, he states the early B1's had bellhousing C5TA-6394-A, and the late is D1TA-6392-AA. He is unsure when the switch occurred, but says his with a 135... VIN has the D1 bellhousing. My boss is a 141... VIN, scheduled for build Nov. 16th, actually built Nov.30th, 1970...

In addition to what was previously called out, the Boss didn't have the honeycomb panel between the taillights or the pop open gas cap. The hood decal should say "Ram Air" not "351 Ram Air". This car looks like a really amateur restoration.

It would probably read the same sender/sensor, but you might have feedback or accuracy issues. You should put in a "T" and run separate senders if you want both gauges. You could also use the center gauges for transmission oil temperature, air/fuel mixture and fuel pressure, just to use up the...

I had a '68 Mustang with air, and I replaced the hoses and dryer with the higher pressure ones for R134. I figured changing hoses and dryer on a 50 year old car was a maintenance item regardless, so going to the higher pressure ones was no big deal. I rebuilt my stock compressor, but had to...

A fool and his money are soon.....washed out to sea! :LOL:

If you mean you can turn the lock cylinder on the steering column without the key in it, you should just need to replace the lock cylinder. https://www.cjponyparts.com/ignition-switch-cylinder-1970-1973/p/HW1543/

Thank God it appears it's just an artist's rendering. I'd hate to think someone did that to an actual Boss.

On a Cougar I had, I took the window motors apart, cleaned the old grease out and put in new and it solved the problem.
