Hi all, Thought I would share Marti report and original invoice for my pretty unique Mach 1. Cheers!

Assuming you mean the shock top mounts to the shock towers, they should be natural steel finish. So preferably blast it and shoot some satin clear over it.

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread. But since we're discussing welding in floors... What's you no1 tip for getting the floor to line up perfectly against the trans tunnel? I wanna do butt not lap.

3 or 4 of those smaller holes are for the rubber "grommets" that hold the firewall insulation in place from the inside.

Looks great! Just for info, if you're not aiming to use the 73 rear bumper those 8 small holes in the tail light panel should not be there. All tail light panels are made the same, but needs to be welded shut on 71-72.

Only found a hi res image of the 69 seat and the comfort weave looks pretty real? 

Thank you! Never realized this before, though fixed had higher seat backs like coupes and verts. 

I'm on the hunt for complete seat upholstery for my 1972 Mach 1. But I have realized that it's very hard to find a source where the vendor even mentions whether it's for folding rear seat or the regular one. Often only defining Mach 1 or Sportsroof. But that doesn't say what the rear seat is...

Sounds reasonable because those ramps up onto the Dearborn train cars were pretty steep. Probably would have toasted the spoiler. 

Sounds great. Hoping for the same luck for myself..  Btw, how do you even measure to the front bumper bracket hole since it's oblong. Center? 

Thank you, I also read in the thread Frame-measurement-madness that you built you jig with the 15.03 dimension and it all turned out OK. Did the idler arm bracket and steering gear mounting holes match good as well?

Hi, yes it seems so and it's very strange. Frame rails are the same between 71-73 so there should be no such big differences. The 11.74 dimension actually is from the 1972 diagram. So they had it correct in 71 and the intruduced values that are way of in 72/73. Makes no sence.. I just read an...

Hi, I just now mounted my "new" rear frame to a frame jig. It's mounted to the jig in the leaf spring holes in the positions given in the Underbody dimensions diagram for 1972.  I expected the rocker to sit parallel to the base line, but it really doesn't. The front of the car will sit much...

Thanks all for the warm welcoming! :D

Hi all, thought I'd introduce myself as I've been around for a while on this fantastic forum and it's helped me out a lot already. Lots of people with great knowledge here! My name is Niklas and I live in Sweden. Bought my second 1972 Mach 1 last year, 15 years after I sold my first one. Had...

Beautiful, exactly that even free space around the tire that your'e looking for!

Old thread but super interesting!

Hi, are the rear seat plastic quarter panels still there? If so, are they damaged from sun and brittle on the surface?

Thanks to all of you guys for straitening this out!  ::thumb:: Buying the unit wont be a waste of money then, just need to modify my original am/fm bezel.  Thanks, Nik
