Well done, Bill! That's a generous offer that'll help out one of our '73 owners.

If your old radiator's tanks are still good, take it to a radiator repair and get a new core installed. I'm still running the original radiator in mine with no overheating issues.

Be sure to disconnect your battery before you begin. Be careful not to lose the spacer on the top bolt. You should be able to pull it tight enough with your one hand. You don't want to over tighten it and put too much load on the bearings.

Nice save! Many more years of service left in that set!

Howdy, @fordnutjm , and welcome from Texas! Very nice convertible, and cool old school wheels! Are they Keystones? Enjoy the forums and jump in the conversations!

Try rockauto.com. I get my air filters from NAPA. They should be able to cross reference the number and get you the right one.

Same experience here.

Just get a replacement 55-amp alternator for a 71 Mustang with either a 302 or 351. They use the same part number and will fit your 351W.

The CA381 is correct for your 73 302. The parts shop bubbas need to do better looking up parts for their customers.

First, welcome to the forums! Confirm you have the calipers on the right sides? They can be installed on either side so it can be confusing. @Hemikiller provided us with this illustration to help.

Long time coming but I'm sure it'll be a blast to get in and drive soon! Keep us posted...and add pictures!

How's the progress on your Mach 1 going?

I believe the side marker lights bezels are pot metal and have built in studs. Self threading nuts with a soft sealant material are used to fasten the light bezels to the fender opening.

The handle for the interior door release is different, also. @Rick@NPD has researched these door panels for his business and says the TMI panels are the best quality available and best replicate the originals. Others have attested to this, as well. Many years ago (late 1980's), I bought and...

That's @giantpune 's Mach 1.

Your Mach 1 is looking good!

Check around some. Check with Northern Tool if there is one in your area - they offer a military discount if you're a veteran. You have to buy a bottle to exchange but the 75 argon/25 CO2 should be less than $100.

I'd bet it works better in the Arizona desert than other regions of the country. :D LPS and CRC make some pretty good rust inhibitor sprays. WD40 is actually a good rust inhibitor for use on sheet metal and can be removed when ready for body and paint.

That's good to know. What's your assessment of the Mustang Steve kit?
