    Fan belts for 72 F code 302 V8

    Maybe it's just me, but it used to be a lot easier to get fan belts without having to remove them and take them in for measurements. Looking for part numbers for the: Alternator Power steering A/C (although Is not critical at this time until it gets serviced) Any clues from...

    Passing on a bit of connector mating knowledge

    When correcting an out of place heater bezel lamp, I thought I firmly reinstalled the 3 speed switch. But to my dismay and $80 later, this was not the case. Odd thing was medium and high speed would work but not low ( and wasn't sure if it ever worked before... so with some dielectric grease...

    Misc. hose wrapped around shock

    Does anyone know what this hose goes to? Here's a pic from "original factory build" but since I've changed the shocks and the dual exhaust is now sharing the space. Now it looks ripped from the termination end and I'll investigate further over the weekend but any pointers before I find the...

    Striping week procrastination

    Copper metalic hockey stick stripes came in this week and the vacillation has begun...Not my first time but my self imposed OCD will be in high gear...in the end they will look great and hide a few minor blemishes in this 50 survivor...The new Magnum wheels T/As really changed the stance of this...

    Paintless dent repair

    Anyone had recent experience with this technique. My 50 year old survivor has 2 minor battle dings that haven't scratched the paint and look like candidates for the process... One tiny one on the trunk lid and one on the front fender that can be reduced and reached by removing the fender liner...

    New to the group, Lifelong Mustang guy

    Just purchased my childhood dream car to add to the stable of Mustangs. I've owned my 88 LX 5.0 convertible for 34 years but just recently added a 72 Mustang convertible to the mix. The 72 has 217,000 LESS miles than my 88 LOL. It's a unrestored, unmolested survivor with 18,000 original miles...
