New to the Forum! '73 Convertible Mustang

[Lastbreed73]

Hello, my name is Joe, I finally signed up on the forum, i thought it might help if i had any questions. About my mustang, I bought around 1987, it was my daily driver. Around 1998, had my engine rebuilt my Mike Gantz a track racing guy. He left the 2v head on for more torque but put edelbrock performer manifold on it with carter carb. Since than i put a 600 cfm edelbrock carb. Put 3:55 gears in 9" rearend, need a fourth or fifth gear LOL. Had it repainted and custom interior done early 2000. Top is 15 years new LOL, hasn't seen rain EVER and sun on a few occasions. Its a felt top with original glass window with zipper to open. My wife would like me to sell it, i would like to put a Total Control Products g-link coil over front & rear suspension, convert my auto to clutch and put 5-speed tremec trans. Rebuilt motor with 0.30" bore, 3.75" stroke with TFS 195 aluminum heads and Edelbrock air gap manifold. That's all i want to do. LOL But I'm a backyard mechanic in a condo with no space. I'm in south Orange County, semi retired, if anyway likes to do projects i would enjoy working together on this.
Take care, Joe

Welcome Joe from another So Cal resident, a bit north of you in Upland. I also have a 73 Vert, but my car is at my place in Az. You car looks great.

My wife and I are planning a move this year I believe to south Orange County, to Laguna Woods; the Ca condo life for us too. Maybe when we get moved, we can meet up. BTW, if you’re asking if we agree with your wife’s or your plan, it’s no contest. Steve
