- 1971 Mach 1, Grabber Blue w/Argent stripes. Original 2V 351C Auto, Tilt, rear defog, Black Comfortweave Interior. Under restoration. Original colors, 4V 351C, 4-Speed, Spoilers, Magnums, Ram Air. All Ford parts.
Several projects now that they salted the streets here in Kansas City.
1) Blower Motor - under the dash it squeals when running. I have a spare but have the following questions.
a) Can the blower motor bearings be lubed in the car? Will it last?
b) With the spare I have it is an original. Should I buy a new one, have it rebuilt, other?
2) Speedo cable. I have a bounce when it does work, but it works inconsistently.
a) Do the experts feel this is a lube problem, or a connection problem at the dash cluster?
b) There is one spot where it hit the exhaust and has some melting on the cable shielding. Should I consider a new one?
3) Passenger door Power Window Bezel - has anyone been able to make the factory clips work. I don’t understand how they are supposed to hold in the switch body. Has anyone found an alternate attachment method?
4) Front Bumper refinish. Looks like my original body man used flex agent in the paint, but not in the primer.
a) how much should I expect to pay for a refinish on that. I own the paint already.
The other projects I feel I understand well enough at this point.
