Hello All,

[Topless73Qcode4SPD]

::welcome:: Nice looking car! I was expecting a white top, but that blue one looks good with that color!

It did come originally with a white top.

I like the blue but will probably replace it with Black.

That's way down the road though.

Great looking vert! I had to do a double take when I saw the chrome front bumper...looks great!

Topless73Qcode4SPD Did you use the 73 front valance?

Ok..I was wondering how long it would be before someone busted me on the

front bumper.

The front valance is a 73. The bumper is a 72. I had to make my own brackets

for it but I hated that plastic covered guppy bumper that the feds forced on everyone. It also weighed about 150 lb's. So not only did it lose weight but

looks much better to.

I think it looks much better. They are insanely heavy. Are the fenders and extensions 72s or 73s? I like the blue top. Chuck

Fenders and extensions are 73, all the 5 mph guts are there ie the rubber bushings.

I only needed to fabricate the brackets that hold the bumper to the original

5 mph extensions. The first bracket took me about 8 hrs of labor time to fab,

the second about 2.

I love my plasma cutter. I get a real kick out of that thing.

A plasma cutter is a great tool. I wish I had one. Chuck

What I love about this site is that there are people on it from all over the world/country.

Good Day Mate

Can't agree with you more.

I tried to keep everything original, down to the nuts and bolts.

But found it to time consuming and restrictive.

Once I decided to "free style" the project started moving right along.

Besides, a lot of the current replacement parts are superior to the original

fomoco parts.

I'm also using stainless and zinc coated nut's and bolts where ever possible.

It is my stang and I'll drive it like I want it.

Freedom is a beautiful thing.

Happy 4th
