Welcome from another Michigan-der. I'll be at Autorama next month... I'll keep my eyes peeled for your car.

It's good to see our members have pointing out the many red flags on this car. Even the mfg door tag doesn't look original. I hate to see this kind of stuff happen in our hobby.

Welcome from Southern Michigan. Nice cars you have there!

This is a followup to my original question regarding front and rear sway bars for my 71. I’m happy to report the front and rear suspension work is completed. I appreciate everyone on this forum who replied and provided helpful suggestions. So here’s what was done: I swapped out the...

Beautiful Car. Welcome from Southern Michigan.

Thanks again to everyone for the informative, and helpful advice. My plan is to do both front and rear swaybars in the very near future. The front should be a piece of cake, as I'm just swapping out the old one for a new one. The rear might be more of a challenge, but hopefully will go...

Hi, Reference the Rear Sway Bar. Attached are 2 pics I took of identical holes that are on each side of my rear frame rail of my 71 Sportsroof. Are these the same holes that you used to mount the rubber bushing bracket for your Rear Sway Bar? Also, can you please advise what type of...

Very good. Thanks for the information, and also taking the time to take and post the pictures.

Thanks everyone for the helpful and accurate information. Based on your input, and other research, I'm thinking of going with a good quality 7/8 inch front and a 1/2 inch rear swaybar, although am not sure how to mount the rear bar. Although there was no rear swaybar on it when I got it 3...

I have found a whole bunch of differing information on the internet regarding the actual correct OEM factory size for both front and rear sway bars on a 1971 Mustang. So I thought I would reach out to our forum on this. I have a 1971 Mustang Fastback that I acquired a few year ago. It has...

I had JC Taylor for many years, and had one claim with them and they took good care of me. For the identical amount of coverage, JCT cost a lot less than Hagerty. However JCT wouldn't allow me to drop collision coverage for the 5 months of Michigan wintery weather when my cars are stored away...

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I stopped at my painters shop and I've attached photos of the paint brand & paint code used. Hot Rod Black / matte finish. Matte is what he actually used, although, at the time he told me it was semi-gloss. Apparently he feels that semi-gloss and matte...

Thanks. I just know how vital it was to get the hood blackout sheen to satisfy my personal likes, as the hood is such a visually important part of the car. But everyone has different tastes, and I've also seen flat black and gloss hood blackouts that looked really nice.

Hi all, The hood paint blackout color/sheen was an important decision I had to make a few weeks ago while my 71 was being completely repainted. After much time spent looking at black Mustang hood photos (or in person at car shows), reading this forum, and consulting with my painter and a few...

Thank You. Yes, this has been an amazing site to gather and share information. Your convertible looks pretty sweet.

I'm just a little southeast of Jackson

Thanks for that bit of into on the lighting. Right now my lighting is stock, however, I may look into LED's in the future. When I do, I'll give you a shout.

Wow, I looked at the postings on your build thread. Very impressive. I enjoyed reading everything, and the work you're doing looks immaculate. Best of luck on the completion of your car.

Hi, Thanks for the compliments on the color. So, the wheels in the pictures were on the car when I bought it. And I'm not sure what year they are from...but you are probably in the right ballpark with 2005 - 2008. They are nice looking wheels, however, at the end of the restoration, I'm...

Thanks. Picking a color took my wife and I a little while. We wanted either red or blue. My painter did some small spray-outs for us in several different reds and blues. We then eliminated red, and narrowed the blue colors down to 3 different blue colors from the 1969 - 1971 Ford color...
