- 1973 Mach 1, Yellow/White
Hello People!
I've been surfing around this site without properly introducing myself as of yet. I've been building older mustangs (65-66) for a while but this is my first 71-73 Mustang. I've really become attached to my 73' due to the area and the overall size of this beast. I had no Idea How cool these bad boys really are before buying mine. This is a great site full of people and their wisdom making this site a MUST for anyone building these monsters of cool! If your reading this post you surely already know that. I just recently got my 73 back from the body/paint shop (Rick) and yes it's been in his hands since my original post which was what, over a year and a half ago. Not real happy about the length of time he had my car (originally supposed to be in for 5 months) but, when the stang was sanded down and he had me by the shorties after that! the paint is still not by any means perfect but I'm not dwelling on that right now, I'm focusing on the rest of the restoration, getting her back to original Mach 1 condition and color, yellow-ext/white-int. This Mach came from the factory with a standard hood and standard interior, somewhere down the timeline some one added a rear deck spoiler. The original owners did splurged for a Rimblow steering wheel though. I must say I kicked down for second hood, a Ram air hood, well... because there too cool! I'll be posting more picks soon and It's good to be back on board. Thanks to everyone for their great feedback and very helpful information!
Cheers!
