    Parts For Sale 1973 flat hood

    Spare hood I was given when I got my 1973 fastback. I believe this would be the original hood. Overall is in pretty decent shape. None of the corners are bent or rotted away. There is some surface rust on the underside. And more surface rust on the front lip where the trim sat. Previous...

    TKX/tremec install documentation?

    I ordered the TKX kit from modern driveline. It comes with supposedly everything you need to, or at least most of it, to swap our cars from a C4/FMX/C6 to a TKX. I've figured it out up to the point when you install the bellhousing and transmission itself. They just give you a baggie of...

    How to mount power steering cooler when deleting AC compressor?

    I have a 73 H code car. It has the power steering cooler that was mounted on top of the AC compressor. When guys are getting rid of the stock compressor in favor of a newer style compressor, or deleting it altogether, how are they mounting the power steering cooler? Did any of them come from...

    Worth it to sell C6 and related parts?

    When I pulled my engine to rebuild it, I pulled the C6 transmission out, too. I'm fairly confident that I will never a transmission back in this car that does not have an overdrive. I thought about saving the C6 in case one of my other cars needs a transmission, but again, if I have to pull...

    Adding center gauges to a car that didn't come with them

    I'm working on a car that came with the idiot lights in the dash. I'm trying to figure out what all needs to be done to add the 3 center gauges. If I want to keep the idiot lights working as they current are, I assume that means I need to find a spot to install the oil pressure and water temp...

    1971 Mach1 429 in racing simulator

    I've got a coworker who's a car guy over in the UK. When he's not out drifting his 370z, he's playing some driving game on his computer. Its a pretty elaborate setup with a real steering wheel and gear shifter and a VR headset. From what people say, this game is one of the better ones in...

    How much does a missing title affect the value?

    I'm looking at purchasing another 73 car. It looks like the options are pretty average. Fastback, AC, 351C/Auto, power steering, power brakes, basic interior, no tach, no console, no center gauges. So not anything extra rare like a shelby or boss 429, just a basic driver car. The car is...

    How big should the big 73 bumper be?

    On a 73 mustang with the painted eurathane urethane bumper, how far should that bumper stick out? I met another 73 mach1 owner. We were comparing notes. On his car, the middle of the bumper sticks out like 6" past the chrome trim. On my car, it sticks out 6.75". As far as I can tell, both...

    Which models share the same A pillar and windshield trim with a 73 fastback?

    My car is rusted pretty bad around the windshield. The A pillars and the first 6 inches or so of the roof is toast. Nobody sells reproduction A pillars. I called west coast cougar and they have this sheet metal they can cut off a car, but they don't have any fastbacks. On mustangs before 71...

    I just noticed it today. While the engine is running, automatic transmission in park, i can hear a faint whistle. When I press the brake pedal, the sound gets much louder. It sounds like one of those recorders they gave everybody in music class in elementary school. It also happens while the...

    What to do with an old motocraft 2 barrel carb?

    I was at my mom's house cleaning out her shed and ran across some old tools and car parts. One of the parts is a motocraft carb with a "D2wf CB" tag. I believe it came off my parts car back around 2001 and has just been sitting there. The car was a plain jane 72 fastback with a 351C. Is the...

    1973 Mach1 Etched glass LED sign.

    I got myself a CNC machine and have been making all sorts of little things. My project for this afternoon was this. I found a drawing of a 71-72 mustang online. Then had the wife change the headlights and side stripes so it looks more like a 73 model. I used the CNC to engrave it on a sheet...
