New to the group...

[Pastel Blue]

Would like to introduce my latest project, a 1971 429cj J code convertible. 1 of only 42 produced in '71. Low optioned car; auto, A/C, AM/FM radio, tinted windows, bumper guards, sport hub caps. Car is currently in tear down stage for a complete body rotisserie restoration and paint. Arizona car up until the early 2000's, then the son took the car and stored it away in the Spokane, WA area in a dry machine shed environment. Now resides with me in the Niagara Falls, Canada area. Car was on a recent national Mustang magazine cover in September, 2015; shown being pulled out from the shed. I purchased it from the dealer who pulled it out. Big $$ invested, and the real work still to come... However, I have owned many of these cars, one other J Code Mach 1 for 17 year's. This one is special in that it incorporates its original complete driveline line, save, for the missing carb, alternator and distributor. I have searched out all but the correct distributor so far... Anyway, will post pics of the restoration process if the group is interested. Cheers. BTW... trying to post a picture, not sure if it will come through here, patience...


Picture will not post? I get it to upload and then hit the "include in post button", but no luck... What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the site from West Texas! ::thumb::

I checked the thread, and I'm not seeing an attachment associated with this thread or your profile of any kind. In a Reply text box, you'll need to 'attach' the pic (click "Add Attachment" after browsing to find your pic and inserting into the "New Attachment" blank space - found below in the "Attachments" tab). Once it's attached, you'll need to "Include In Post", where it will add an attachment tag (with the attachment number) into your post - you can move it around if you like, just make sure you get all of the tag code moved if you do so. When you post the reply, it'll show up as a picture. There's a tutorial (with pictures and everything) in the FAQ section.

Hope that helps! Can't wait to see your pics!
