Hi all I’m Steve. I’m new to this site. I was looking up pics of 71 -73 mustangs and found a pic on here of a fastback mustang with a full vinyl roof, I was amazed! I am currently restomodding a 71 mach1 and when I had it blasted I found that it was a full top car itself. I’ve only seen a few pictures of this option and loved it. I had no idea I had one. Any info, advice or anything would be greatly appreciated. I sometimes think I’m the only person in the world that loves these mustangs. Every time I meet another mustang fan, I always hear the same thing……Why didn’t you do a 69, 68, 67? Don’t get me wrong I love them and all, it’s just the 71 is my favorite.
Here are a few pics of my car. I have been working on it for years now. It should be done by now but the economy sucks.
This is when I first got the car. (The pic looks alot better than what the car actually looked like)
Tear down before soda blasting
After blasting I found holes where it was an original vinyl top car
Tremec TKO 600 Lakewood Belhousing
13 1/2" slotted rotors on all four corners. QA1 adjustable shocks and Comp Engineering slide-a-link traction bars. (By using these each has 2 mounts so you can retain your staggard shocks.)
Currie crate rearend narrowed 2" on both sides
460 stroked to 521. All roller 429 cobra jet heads.
17x8 Vintage Wheel works, all grab a track front suspension 1" drop. Wheels have been powdered coated a dark gray in the middle.
17x9 1/2 Custom offset with a 315-35-17 when the vehicle sits on the ground the wheel tucks nicely in the wheel well. I am also running grab a track 1" drop leaf springs in the back.
