Hey guys I gave up on my 1973 mach 1, it needs too much body work and I cant do body work, im a beginner and it turned into too big a project for me. Its a real 1973 mach 1, has a 1970 351c 2bbl with a FMX tranny which I pulled. It has the Boss guage package, center console, A/C, front power...

Ya thanks, Numbers matching isn't important to me, i'd like to have a built big block or a 351c. If the car had front disc and a ford 9in rear i'd really be upset about loosing. I just want something that looks good and has some power to it. I think that engine stock was rated at 340Hp...

Thanks guys, I feared the 8in rear would be torn up by the 429 and the manual drums would not stop me too well. I do have a 9in and front power disc's I could have used from a 73' though. But I seen a few other cars that interest me. If any of you guys know anyone selling a restored 69' or...

I seen a car on E-bay I liked, a 1969 restored sportsroof with a rebuilt 429 thunder jet engine. So im waiting to the last minute to bid so I dont get outbid and I place my bid and it says I have to be verified to bid over 15k, anyway I lost the auction because I could not get verified because...

No, unfortunatly just the regular seats. I have alot of brand new interior stuff and engine stuff i'll probally post on E-bay if I do sell. Jim

Hey guys, im not sure if this is the right forum for this but I was wondering if you could estimate what my car would sell for, it turned out to be too much of a project for me. Its a 1973 mach 1 351c 2bbl car with FMX, the engine and trans ran but are now out and apart since I was preparing to...

Thanks guys, thats what I thought, its not a BOSS 429, just a regular 429. I know even my 351c in my 73' middle plugs weren't as easy as I was expecting to reach. Its them huge ford shock towers. Jim

Could anyone tell me if its hard to change the plugs on a 69' mustang with a 429 engine? I was thinking about buying one but im worried for the simple task of changing plugs I might have to pull the engine. Thanks, Jim

Do you guys think I can find a nice 69-70 fastback/Mach 1 with a 302 or 351 in the 15,000 dollar area. I want something that is allready restored. Has anyone seen any around for sale in the PA, NJ, DE region? I want something I can have fun with till i get around to finishing my project car...

I seen a deal on a 69' Boss 302? I think it was, a few days ago on E-bay for like 3k or some really low price for a "mint" car. I E-mailed the buyer and said i'd buy it if I could come and look at it first but he was conveniently located in England. I knew it was a scam which is why I asked to...

Could anyone tell me how the power on these cars was stock? I might be purchasing one. Thanks, Jim

Oboe, has a good site with tech tips and good photo's on projects for 1971-1973 mustangs at www.desertmustangs.com Jim

OK thanks guys. Jim

I just had the same question last week, everyone I talked to told me Hobart so I went with a Hobart 125, I got it new on E-bay for 300 shipped. Its a Mig and flux core machine I do need the gas kit for it though, some 125 models come with it installed. It should come in the mail today im...

Anyone know how these bumpers come off? I dont see any bolts for it. :shrug: Thanks, Jim

I have a big angle grinder and a 6in wire wheel for it, It is hard to control but will get me down to bare metal in a matter of seconds and covers alot of ground. For the undercoating in the fender wells I used aircraft stripper in several applications but a hammer and scraper worked even...

My Hobart 125 MIG should be here this weekend and I just picked up a Craftsman 60gal 7hp dual stage compressor and a orbital sander, now I just need a paintgun. I think between the 2 I spent around $675 dollars which aint bad, of course im broke now but this should keep me busy for awhile...

Thanks for the reply, here's a stupid question, whats a stitch weld? Also what size flux would you recomend for floorpans? Hopefully my welder will be here this weekend and I can practice. Thanks, Jim

I cant seem to get the rear bumper off and the window molding above the doors. The Haynes doesn't help much, it says undo the 4 bolts in the trunk for the bumper, the only bolts I seen were small ones that I undid but it did not loosen the bumper. Anyone ever take theirs off? Also the chrome...
