Great car brother. Welcome from NC. I have a mixed stable as well. The mustangs and my first gen K5 get along just fine.

Congratulations brother. That’s a very impressive car you are making.

Welcome from NC! Cool car brother.

Went down this path a few years ago myself. The stock bar from addco was a different thickness than the aftermarket bar. Here are some relevant posts around the different bar types and pairings with the front: https://7173mustangs.com/threads/sway-bar-brands.38104/#post-388362...

My respect to you, sir, for your stewardship of the car for 50 years! Welcome to the forum from NC

Sweet car brother! Welcome from NC.

Nice of you to say brother. I personally think pewter with the boss treatment looks fantastic. Back when I was deciding on my car’s design, I pulled these pics down from an article:

My vote would be for trying the boss hood treatment. I’d have someone (a reputable, diligent someone) try to match the pewter at top of the fenders and of course the boss treatment means the small strip of paint wouldn’t jump out if not perfect. I suppose you could try to get fancy and blend a...

Based on that video I reckon I am doing pretty well on the redneck scale since I own 2/3 cars shown: yellow Mustang vert and first-gen k5 Jimmy. They show a Jeep briefly also but I don’t have one of those. If we wanted to recreate the video maybe @Mister 4x4 could supply his Jeep.

Have Dynacorn quarters on my 72 vert and am very happy with them. I bought pretty much all dynacorn: a one piece floor, trunk, quarters, inner/outer wheel wells, and NASA hood. In general the sheet metal lined up pretty well. I have had bad experiences with aftermarket sheet metal in the past -...

Beautiful car brother. Welcome from NC!

That’s pretty much exactly what I am describing. The problem is if you tweak the top of the quarter out, it quickly conflicts with the swoop in the top of the door. i think sinking the front of the c-pillar is the superior approach but to your earlier point, you’d have to cut the whole...

Yes, something like that. I think the way I would do it is actually move the C-pillar outer skin back in just a bit at the window, so that the little bump-out crease/line just to the rear of the quarter window was not there. That way the quarter line from the top of the trunk would meet the...

Not really my thing, but I have to admit I am always intrigued by attempts to give the quarter panel more relief off of the c pillar.

Merry Christmas from NC brother! Mike Isaiah 9:6 Matt 1:23

I am curious about these, given that they would match my deluxe rear seat: https://www.cjponyparts.com/distinctive-industries-front-bucket-seat-touring-ii-pair-deluxe-1971-1973/p/SEAT219-V/ Also available in Mach 1...

Man that car is beautiful. I love copper on cars and trucks.

Glad to hear it my friend. Can’t wait to see the sportsroof!

Honestly sorry to hear about your troubles brother. My wife has come to grudgingly accept my love of old cars, but there was a time it was a big point of contention. That said… One of the reasons I am loathe to give marital advice is because one never really knows all the details that go on in...

Do you currently have the polished aluminum headlight “doors”, or the ones that are mostly black? Either way, painting those fully black would go a long way. Assuming you have the large original big bumper on the front, you will need to keep the turn signals on the grille because you can’t have...
