I have a 1970 convertible and I recently bought a new top for it but i cannot find the convertible header panel (the horizontal bar on the actual top) i can find them for 65-68 only. Will one of these work on mine? Or where can I get one, i have looked at quite a few places and no luck. thanx for the help

You need a header panel from a 69-70 Mustang. the repro 65-66 will not fit. I have heard the Cougar is the same, but can't verify that. These are the only years that will fit. Not reproduced, not likely it ever will because of the low demand for that year. You need to find a good used one, without a lot of corrosion. When you find one, clean it well, then prep it properly and paint it. I use a light acid etcher and painted it with a POR 15 product for aluminum to keep the corrosion from coming back under the top material.

Welcome to the fun world of finding the obscure parts for 69-70 'Verts! You'll find lots of parts VERY hard to come by! with Worth's help, I was able to restore the rear quarter interior panels, as they are not available. Caution to all 69-70 'Vert owners, think before you cut up your interior....
