    69 Coupe Headliner

    I am getting ready to install a new headliner in my 69 coupe and am not sure of the proper sequence of the bow locations from front to back. I believe that there are different sizes in bow height/height's but can't be sure because there was no headliner installed when I got the car. Can anyone...

    69 Coupe correct side window weatherstrip

    Does anybody know the correct door and quarter window weatherstrip and window channel configuration for a 69 coupe. I can't seem to find any concrete reference that tells me if the back edge of door glass is plain and the quarter window has the metal channel and weatherstrip or if the quarter...

    429

    I paid $600 for a doner car with a 429, C6 and 9" rear end with 15,000 miles on a engine rebuild. Expected investment is around $2500 to get the motor into a respectful high preformance condition, rebuilding the tranny and mods on the rear end to get it to fit, who knows I'm afraid to find out...

    Rearend Swap info - FAQ

    All this information is very helpful for my reference and I am saving all of it, but never having experience with working with rear ends I am lost in information overload, hopefully someone will be kind enough to repeat it again for the slower classmates. I recovered a 429 drive train with a 9"...

    68 Coupe Just Finished

    GREAT JOB! keep the all black look, I think the rocker trim would pull the eye down and take away from the car. Another AWSOME COUPE on the road. Great job on working the scoop in, flawless

    Fan Shroud Question?

    This is a problem that I am also going to get into soon, not just as easy as slapping in a fan and shroud, not all fans need shrouds, this quote caught my attention: "X-fans don't need shrouds; all other fan types do. Flex fans, clutch fans and multi-type fans need shrouds to incress air...

    Need 69 instrument voltgage regulator

    Just as I thought, NPD said that the standard replacement #10804-3 is not available but they do have the new replacement version in stock as a direct snap in. Thank you again for responding, I now have my purchase source and a do it yourself option by 68Restoman.

    Need 69 instrument voltgage regulator

    of course it would be at my own risk, in either case I need to confirm that I have a spare source lined up. I agree with you that the amps in the battery is a major risk. Thanks

    Need 69 instrument voltgage regulator

    Thanks for all the great feed back, I had a feeling that there was another way to skin that cat. Do you think I can test my old IVR by connecting a 12v car battery + pos lead to the pos terminal of the regulator and the - neg to the IVR housing and meter the other terminal to see if I get 5...

    Need 69 instrument voltgage regulator

    I picked up Mustangs and fast Fords, so I missed the add and will have to give them a call. I have not found any specs on the voltgage or current rating but I assume it acts to maintain a constant output at 12V to the instruments. If we had the specs, I am sure a subistute could be designed.

    Need 69 instrument voltgage regulator

    Yeloxr7, picked up a copy of Mustangs and fast Fords like you referenced but did not see the add you are talking about, is this the mag you are talking about. p.s. I had a red 69 XR7 and loved it, they are hot cars and I regret ever selling it.

    Need 69 instrument voltgage regulator

    I have my 69 dash cluster out for fresh paint and new lenses and wanted to replace the voltgage regulator, word is the manufacturer is out of production and nobody is accepting orders. Does anyone have a source for this part or any other clever ways to get around it. Looking for Comments...

    1973 mustang mach 1

    You gotta love the car for what it is, a "Classic Mach 1" man, I would go for it if you like the style. Personally I think the long hood and full sweep fast back look is really cool and it will only be a matter of time before the '71-'73's become more desireable and the value goes up.

    Rewiring my 69-suggestions welcome

    "unrealmach1" sounds like we are at about the same point, I have replaced all the necessary rotted metal; floor pans, doors, tail light panel, hood, trunk cross beam, rear lid, and qtr panel. Holy crap when I write it down it sounds like a real basket case but all the right parts were solid to...

    Rewiring my 69-suggestions welcome

"unrealmach1" are you also rewiring your entire car, I would like to know how you make out, please keep me posted. Where can I get replacement bolt in stock gauges, I have only...

    Rewiring my 69-suggestions welcome

    Thanks for the tip on E-Z wiring, this looks very similiar to the "Ron Francis wiring" web site that I found, I assume you need to reuse existing end connecters, how are the instructions and tech support if you needed it or did you just follow a factory Mustang wiring diagram.
