Those of you that have looked up how to built DIY adjustable strut rods have probably seen this website.... http://dazed.home.bresnan.net/adjustable. But, much to my disappointment, the website took down their instructions on the strut rods because of concern over the hardware used to attach...

I'm selling my spoiler off my 71 coupe. Doing a resto-mod on the ol' girl and removing the spoiler completely. It's in good shape and comes with mounting hardware. Just make an offer. I'm located in central Arkansas but will ship anywhere.

I've been back and forth on ideas to create more room for bigger tires on my 71 coupe. I've thought about fabing up some mini-tubs but I don't want to lose my rear seat if possible. So my latest idea is to cut out the section of the factory wheel tub that archs down and is spot welded to the...

Hey guys, I'm started much needed rust repair on the B pillars this weekend, when I noticed what looks like lead filler between the roof skin and quarter panel. I'm guessing this seam was probably lead filled from the factory, and I'm thinking some of you guys have ran across this too. I'm...

It's not too often my day job and my hobbies really intertwine (I work for a software company). But I'm been messing around with microprocessors lately and it's really got my thinking about some new possibilities for our old mustangs. If you are not familiar with microprocessors, they are...

Well, I've been working on my engine bay for what seems like forever (but really several months off and on), and I finally got it in primer yesterday. My goal was to clean up the engine bay, giving it a very smooth look that will be painted body color. The first order of business was fixing...

Hey, sorry if this has already been posted but HowThisWorks.com did an article on the 71-73 mustangs. I thought it was interesting so I thought I'd pass it along. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1971-1972-1973-ford-mustang.htm

I spend so much time staring at my 71 mustang, it doesn’t leave a lot of spare time to look at some of the cars build by Detroit in the muscle car era. Of course the icons of the era are burned into my brain, ie the 69 Camaro, but I never paid much attention to the other less iconic cars. I...

I'm in the middle of a 71 coupe build (probably couldn't have gathered that from the name) and I'm at the point I need to make some decisions about the suspension. I love the staggered 18" wheels in the front and 20" in the rear, but i'm also wanting to have the lowered 'pro touring' look. This...

Alright guys, I've budgeted $500 for my 71 coupe so i need some help figuring out what to buy next. I'm hoping some of you guys that have restored one can provide some insight. My project is nowhere near complete - Here is where I am: *BODY* Car is gutted and most of my time and energy has...

Well, I just went on a spending spree (with the wife's consent...well until she sees how much i spent :)) with my tax return. I'm curious if anyone else used their tax returns for mustang gear? If so, list it! I'll start... To finish up my engine bay project: 1) Summit Racing LVLP spray gun...

Anyone tried or hear anything about Opentrackers camber kits? I've read a lot about his other products and he really knows his stuff - just wondering if the camber kits are worth buying. OPENTRACKER Thanks!

Hey I've screwed around with this imagine for a while today and can't get the look i'm after. Can one of you guys that have photoshop skills help me out? Here is what time trying to do...I want to to drop the car and increase the size of the rear wheel opening up two inches. The idea is I...

Anyone ever use a LVLP (low volume low pressure) spray gun before for primers and/or any automotive finishes? I'm looking for an option to spray primer on spot repairs with my 3hp 6cfm (at 40 psi) compressor. The HVLP (high volume low pressure) guns just require too much CLM (9-13 CFM normal)...

...Between a convertible and coupe quarter panel? They seem to be interchangeable based on most of the parts suppliers, but just looking at both cars side by side, there looks like a difference! On the convertibles, the panel above the wheel (right behind the side glass) looks to 'swoop'...

http://www.cjponyparts.com/prothane-total-bushing-kit-without-transmission-mount-1967-1973/p/SBK12/ I found this on CJ Pony and was wonder if anyone has purchased this kit or knows how hard it is to install. Any information would be great.

I've been back and forth for weeks on deciding to use a mustang II frontend or using a coilover setup like global west. Has anyone attempted a mustang II conversion? Paul Horton's Welder Series has a 60" Mustang II crossmember, which based on this link, it will fit the 71-73 mustang...

I got my car with a gutted interor/no dash/etc...I haven't thought much about it until the other day I realized my VIN is missing from the usual driverside dash spot. I think it is stamped on several areas of the car, but I'm not sure where to look. :huh:

I need to repair section of quarter panel connecting to the roof skin. The prior owner had filled in the grove where the vinyl top connected...with bondo. It eventually rotted out the entire section. Has anyone had to repair this area before? How did you do it? I have some 20 gauge I was...

I am by no means a welder, but i've been doing a lot of rust repair on my 71 and i'm getting better...But I have a question about 'cold welds'. My last project was on the firewall. I needed to replace a section, and the only metal I had available was some 16 gauge. I welded the piece in with a...
