Looks great! What sizes did you end up going with?

Lol! You had us there with the GB pics! It really looks outstanding. Don't forget to paint the black on the inside the hood near the wipers when you get around to the black. Many restored Mach 1's miss this detail. EDIT: here's a discussion with pictures...

I've had good luck with Norton Abrasives brushes.

I went with the Ferrea valves. No issues and they offer a nice military discount if you're a veteran.

Personally not a fan of parts that are just dress up, but I wouldn't knock you adding them if that's what you like. Still interested in how the brakes work out.

Nice score! It's rewarding to find good bargains.

Howdy and welcome from Texas (by way of Valencia, Spain currently)! You've got our attention, so pictures are in order.

Dogs understand car guys and gals.

I have a pair of the new HF 6T stands. They are as well-constructed as any I've used or seen. I have no complaints.

You've done a nice job cleaning it up and detailing the underhood! @7173Mustang will be happy to see your bumper sticker; looks right at home there.

Ballast resistor?

Perfect for that time of day! Reminds me of staying up and watching the late TV movies as a kid - mindless entertainment.

It can be done but requires some patience to get it done right. There is a step-by-step procedure in the factory service manual. This procedure is different between the 71 and 72 manuals so if you don't already have a set, get a set for your model year.

Well done, Bill! That's a generous offer that'll help out one of our '73 owners.

If your old radiator's tanks are still good, take it to a radiator repair and get a new core installed. I'm still running the original radiator in mine with no overheating issues.

Be sure to disconnect your battery before you begin. Be careful not to lose the spacer on the top bolt. You should be able to pull it tight enough with your one hand. You don't want to over tighten it and put too much load on the bearings.

Nice save! Many more years of service left in that set!

Howdy, @fordnutjm , and welcome from Texas! Very nice convertible, and cool old school wheels! Are they Keystones? Enjoy the forums and jump in the conversations!

Try rockauto.com. I get my air filters from NAPA. They should be able to cross reference the number and get you the right one.

Same experience here.
