    Wild Horses tube door striker post project.

    I did this project today. Maybe it will be useful to someone else. I have had the Wild Horses tube doors for a few years and in my opinion, they are the best looking and functioning tube doors available. I have mine on removable hinges. Anyway, they come with replacement door striker bolt...

    Turn Signal Help

    I am beyond frustrated and need some smarter brains to see what I must be overlooking. I have an early 1973. OEM Auto column, OEM Hazard switch on dash. Centech harness I installed in 1997. Column harness and dash harness do NOT connect via a connector and wires are connected individually. All...

    Inside the gas tank wiring issue.

    I am probably over thinking this, but I nicked the insulation on the wire of a brand new OEM gas tank sending unit. The wire is slightly exposed if twisted the right way. I am not sure if I should be concerned, because either end of the wire (at the fuel level float and at the bulkhead) are both...

    Odd sending/pickup unit

    I am posting this because it may help someone do what I sort of thought about for a second and maybe it's interesting, or maybe not at all. I am changing to EFI and while gutting all the fuel lines and pumps and such, I figured I would replace fuel pickup/sending unit that was in the truck when...

    Quality Aftermarket Ignition Switch

    I am replacing my hacked-up OEM dash with a replacement dash that only has the speedo/column/relocated glovebox. I installed a Centech harness in the late 90s and it works fine, but the Centech ignition switch looks ugly, the key is pathetic and looks like it's for a golf cart, and if I am going...

    Bestop bracket "breezer top"?

    Does anyone make the mesh breezer bikini tops for the Bestop windshield bracket? I have seen that some vendors used to offer for the STC/Rampage but not anymore. It looks like Tom's offer one still but it doesn't say it fits the bigger Bestop. I almost never use my full top, usually just the...

    City/State?

    Am I the only one that is missing the feature where by the avatar it shows the poster's city and state or just state? I am not saying that listing your location should be mandatory for privacy reasons, but if volunteered it is often useful to see if the person's post may be relevant to others...

    Front Turn Signal Help

    This is probably something really easy I am over looking but I am stumped. Centech wiring harness (I installed myself in 1999) in fiberglass tub. That being said I am 99.9% sure this is not a grounding issue. I don't know when this happened, but I noticed the other day my front turn signals do...

    No more C4 3rd Gear

    I did a bunch of googling, and most of this came back to Mustang C4s with this and that....and although I have turned nearly every bolt on my 73, I am NOT a transmission guy. Hoping for some quick guidance before I get professional help. 1973 factory C4 (302). I had the C4 rebuilt in 1998 by a...

    C4 is stuck in park

    So I backed my 73 into the shed the other day and put it in park (OEM C4) with my winters floor shifter. Nothing too unusual, except I did notice that as I had been driving it that day it seemed the shifter became harder to move. Almost like there was a pressure building up in transmission (I...

    Upper shock eye bushings

    So my front upper shock bushings (Rancho RS9000 from the 1990s) are gone. I have the long travel shock hoop from Duffs that I put on in the late 90s as well. So I have double eye shocks for a 3" suspension. Can't really use reference charts. Anybody know if the top bushings would be the same as...

    Restoring OEM horn ring

    I have a OEM 73 horn ring on my steering wheel. The lower ring part is pitted. Any suggestions on repairing it? I was thinking of taking it to get media blasted (not sure, but was thinking glass beading) but I am unsure if it will still be the same grey color, or if that will then cause it to...

    Keep or Sell Doors

    Looking for opinions. I have a pair of hard doors with no rust (repaired) with all the glass and workings, minus the top lock knob (Why lock your doors with a soft top they can just open, don't even have the key) but otherwise the wing window glass frames are rebuilt and such. Yes they are rhino...

    SC Used FORD grill letters

    I am looking for a set of FORD grill letters in any condition (as long as back studs are there) I am going to plasticote them black anyway so I hate to buy nice new ones only to scuff and spray them, but I will. I can do PayPal. If you have an old set and want to make a couple bucks PM me. Thanks.

    Stupid leak

    One last leak to fix. Tired of it leaving little drips in garage, but also seems like a good way for mud or water to get into the oil. The oil dipstick just "press fits" into the pan. Has to be an easy fix, but trying to figure what to use that won't melt away or contaminate the oil somehow...

    Shop recommendation in Charleston, SC

    Does anyone know of a quality general auto repair shop in the Charleston, SC area that will work on an EB? I am used to doing almost all the work myself, but since I moved from MtP I no longer have a garage that I can do anything other than really simple things in so I have been looking for a...

    Switch to OEM steering wheel as an upgrade

    I am just throwing this out there as a possible steering solution for folks with issues to explore. I was looking at parts online and keep seeing steering wheels and I recalled that I had a name brand aftermarket steering wheel on my 73 (OEM power steering, 3in susp, 35" tires) and I THINK it...

    Stock steering wheel size?

    I am looking for the diameter of the stock sterring wheel for a 66-74. I would also like the distance from the back (where it meets the column) to the front (front side of wheel). If somebody still has a factory wheel I would really appreciate if you could measure that. I no longer have a...

    Help with vent window frame

    I need some help here. I bought all the seals to do the windows/ventwindows and the piece I most need I can't find anywhere. It's the black metal/rubber channel piece around the vent window, the area where the ventwindow latch hooks into. Mine is rotted. I have a call out to a glass shop, but...
