    5 on 4 3/4" bolt pattern--what do they fit?

    What cars/trucks do 5 on 4 3/4" wheel pattern fit? I got stuck with a set of wheels at a swap meet a while back--the guy told me they came off his Mustang. Well, got them home and whaddya know, they aren't for an early Mustang. I must have been wearing a Mustang t-shirt that day or...

    Tips for changing steering gear on '72

    Just FYI, I ended up rebuilding my idler arm as the ones I found at local parts stores were not correct. I found a place locally that sold the bushings needed to rebuild my idler arm for my 73. The pitman arm puller was the only way to get it off--that was a lot more work than I expected!!!

    69 Mach 1 Project question

    Could the front end accident car be repaired using new panels and straightening of existing structure? That would be better than cutting 2 cars in half, but would need to see what you are working with to make that decision. Post several pictures of the front end hit so we can see it.

    A Different kind of paint question...

    Is that a cast water pump? If so, get some paint on it or it is going to turn a lovely shade of orange/red.

    Anodized Aluminum Moldings

    The 71-73's have anodized aluminum windshield, back glass, and roof rail moldings. I sanded off the anodizing on the roof rails and polished them, but there are too many curves and sculpted lines on the other moldings to even try. But, bright dip anodizing may be the solution--thanks for both...

    Anodized Aluminum Moldings

    What can be done with anodized aluminum moldings? I have a set for my 73 that just look nasty and won't just clean up. They can't be polished unless you sand off the anodizing, which on roof rail moldings can be done, but windshield and back glass moldings are another issue. I know I can...

    Question #1: Both of my Clevelands do the exact same thing on hot starts. Cooling down a while and they start fine. I am getting ready to put on new cables and re-check the timing. Looking forward to other replies.

    Who thinks Lman's new avatar is too creepy?

    I replied to another post where he had posted that I thought it was creepy. How about changing it to Pam Anderson's chest or something--that I can understand! That boy ain't right!

    Rear Door Glass Weatherstrip Replacement 71-73

    Has anyone successfully changed the verticle weatherstrip on the rear edge of the door glass on a 71-73? I looked at the ones on my fastback and if one wasn't damaged wouldn't even attempt it, but one does need replacement. I can't see any way to get the old one out let alone squeeze a new one...

    Tire Pressure Decal location 73 stang

    I am putting some finishing touches on my 73 and can't remember where the tire pressure sticker goes. I know it goes in the passenger door jamb, but does it go on the door or on the quarter? I almost feel silly asking such a simple question.... :p
