    Help with replacement of car radio and speakers

    Also...one of those "while your in there" projects if you're replacing/upgrading the radio...it wouldn't be a bad idea to check your speaker wiring for frays or shorts. I'd also give the under the dash glass fuses & fuse block a cleaning with Deoxit.

    351C & C4 vacuum question

    What cam did you ultimately go with and do you think it would work with a 351c that although I put aluminum 2V heads on it with roller rockers it's not a stroker?

    OEM battery clock

    It’s also 3D printed (FDM), and poorly done. Not okay for the price you paid.

    OEM battery clock

    Send it back, I hate to say it…but that’s not copasetic. Contact North Hollywood Speedometer if they’re still around.

    Hats? (Baseball Caps w/ the 71-73 Mustangs logo)?

    Hello All, I wanted to know if we could @RocketFoot or other moderators of the site consider a run of baseball caps with the 7173 Mustang's website logo on them. I know we've done the decals (I've got one on my car) and wanted to replicate the MCA hat I have but represent the forum as...

    Problem found with Hella LED conversion headlights.

    Firstly, I'm sorry for the loss of your club member, and offer my condolences. Regarding your Mustang, there's a trick that I've used successfully in the past with other electronics. You'll want to open them up/dissassemble to increase ventilation as much as possible. Go to your big box store of...

    Acid Dip or Media Blast?

    Just a consideration, regarding “ruining cars,” it might take a decade or so for the damage to become visible given the affected spots would be in locations that aren’t easily gotten to by a pressure washer. Also, regarding phosphoric acid, no that wouldn’t be an issue but rather protective if...

    Acid Dip or Media Blast?

    Again, theoretically, just like buffing paint, if done properly and with the correct materials, it shouldn't be an issue and you'll have great results. That said, if done incorrectly, well...we all know the rest. I was just stressing the importance of finding a good shop; I like WOM (word of...

    Acid Dip or Media Blast?

    That's a great write up on the process; that said, given the parts were soaked in an acid and then pressure washed to remove the agents, I'd be leery of the pressure wash's efficacy of getting into the proverbial nooks and crannies. I'm sure that finding the correct shop would be key to...

    Acid Dip or Media Blast?

    I'm sure that there's a right and a wrong way to do the acid bath...that said, I had a good friend that had his '56 Chevy frame ruined by an acid bath due to micro-fractures in the frame's metal being seeded/penetrated by the acid; Also, I've heard good things regarding using almond or walnut...

    New member, 73 mach 1

    Sounds like you’ve made much progress to say the least, and that’s great you don’t have to worry about ancillary brake components.   I hope that you have luck with finding a body shop…Sadly, I’ve found that most people these days are just “part changers” or just talk out of their...

    New member, 73 mach 1

    Regarding stopping fast enough, if you go to front discs…don’t forget to change the proportioning valve and the master cylinder!   The drum/standard aforementioned parts won’t have the right pressure to send to the front calipers vs the rear and the master will be a different volume as well as...

    Removal of rear and front wind shield question

    Best of luck with your headliner restoration!  I would recommend a "while you're in there project," be picking up a rattle can of vinyl/plastic touch up paint for the A and C pillars, as well as the seatbelt hooks. I also used some semigloss (or check with the concours guys for the correct...

    Fresh paint done at last

    Didn't mean to highjack the post but thank you @Mustang Guru. I found original pictures of my car, prior to the repaint, it lacked the hockey stick stripes. Prior to now, I always wondered why I saw some with or without the chrome trim.

    Fresh paint done at last

    I love the color combo but I might be biased! Btw, I noticed that your Mach 1, like mine, has the chrome trim running above the rockers...Does anyone know why some Mach 1's have this and others don't? Was it part of an option package etc?
