Merry Christmas and God Bless!

Thanks for all the kind comments and encouragement. I took her out for some air time today and she posed for a few pics at an old gas station. Check out the gas delivery truck.  Price on the pumps was $.25.9  and $.27.9 for premium.  

It's been a while. It was an extremely tough year in 2020 and early 21 but trying to get back in the groove a little at a time. My wife was diagnosed with a very ugly liver cancer that was untreatable in Sept of 20 and I became caretaker when hospice was not around as she wanted to die at home...

i used the Distinctive Industries upholstery for my 71 vert and I posted several pictures of my progress in a thread last winter as i recovered all seats and redid the interior of my stang.

Welcome from NE Kansas.  Like seeing the convertibles show up.

Is the dual exhaust system for a convertible the same as a coupe or mach body style? Wayne

For now, I am leaving the original 2bbl and all original intake. So any increase in performance would be exhaust upgrade only. Wayne

Interesting.  is there a rule of thumb as to what a few pony's is? Also  what does the dual exhaust over single exhaust do for performance?

I sent Precision a message to get quote. 

I am considering adding dual exhaust to my 71 convertible. She has a original 302 and original style single exhaust now. I want to hook up to existing manifolds and use H pipe with mild flow master mufflers.  I would appreciate any recommendations and advice. The research I've done seems...

Beautiful car. Welcome from Kansas

my son and I were out cruising around and noticed the tach just quit working for maybe a couple minutes then it was working fine. Does this sound like a ground problem or what?  I did put a pertronics ignition on it last fall. Wayne

I saw and chuckled to myself about that one,too.  Rare indeed.  If memory serves, it was a dealer, which made it dumber yet for me. Wayne

I know what you mean. I waffle back a forth. That is why I bought both.I really like both and I can trade back and forth. I did this post just to test the reactions.  

i found a nice set of dog dish hub cap with the trim ring on ebay for $100 shipped to me. I couldn't pass it up just to see what it would look like on my convertible.  I really like both but I am leaning toward the sleek look of the dog dish caps. I will trade them back out when I want a...

Just got my Marti Report and was surprised to find that I have tilt steering wheel,too.  So I had to  do research to find this post to figure out how it works. Push blinker handle forward and it works great.  That will make it easier to get in and out now.  It was worth the cost of the Marti...

Welcome from NE Kansas. Like your color scheme!! Wayne

The boot came with 1/2'' foam pads that I glued in with contact cement.  Thanks to all for the compliments. Took  the boot back off today to put top back up. Top and boot both need to stretch and get broke in. Wayne

Finally got to 90 degrees in the sun yesterday here in Kansas so I got out the boot to see if I could get it to fit. In early May i tried and would have sworn there was absolutely NO way it would ever fit.  Well, after it got good and warmed up, it was a struggle but i finally got it on. Took me...

Just a follow up post here to note that the  RockAuto sending unit with red threads seems to work fine. Factory gauge stays right in middle between hot and cold now. i feel much easier while driving her now because it does not read hot all the time. thanks for all the help. This forum rocks...
