looks like the inside of your car is close to mint. And the super model in the car is always a good touch.

Glad you took the ball off it. Yes I know what your saying my wife was the one that made it happen her for me she knew I wanted it and she did the phone calls and the talking prices and made it all come true for me.

she talked both of the sellers down over 2 grand when we bought our cars. New cars she can't do much but old ones she had the touch with ours.

Jerry Baker · « **Reply #12 on:** April 03, 2006, 10:58:34 PM »

Russ we have to work on you some rims. I don't know if you like the hub caps but to me a mach needs rims.

Thierry · « **Reply #13 on:** April 04, 2006, 12:21:42 PM »

What's wrong with Chip Foose's wheels? lol
I don't like his paint jobs in Overhauling but i think his wheels are nice even if the price is pretty ugly lol
Rentascout your Mustang looks in pretty good shape other than the quarters. Nice to see how our members look like too lol

Jerry Baker · « **Reply #14 on:** April 04, 2006, 05:50:18 PM »

Russ · « **Reply #15 on:** April 04, 2006, 09:53:10 PM »

Wow Yeah I know about the rims I am looking and think about going old school but don't know just yet. To give everyone a update my wife and I got the whole interior done. let me know what you think....

Russ · « **Reply #16 on:** April 04, 2006, 09:57:27 PM »

and another I took the reardefroster off since it wasn't factory and it is all facotry wires in there, I ended up getting a intake mainifold but I think it is the 4Vavle nad not 2 Valve how can I tell the difference? I want to go out and put that thing on as soon as I know it the right one but not sure. Everything is ready to go inside but outside is where I am sucking and yes rims, lol.

Russ · « **Reply #17 on:** April 04, 2006, 10:02:51 PM »

I hve alot of pics and I and I got one on the driver side door and it had a big tear in the door and that panel is like 380 dollars to get a good one well anyways the arm rest had a crack in it, well I tried to fix it and it is a two step process and I have on ly the pic of the stage one.

Russ · « **Reply #18 on:** April 04, 2006, 10:05:32 PM »

Hook me up with the intake info I checked it out and it was from a 1970 Galx. so I hope it was just a 2 valve but who knows. STANG OUT

racedraper · « **Reply #19 on:** April 04, 2006, 10:20:08 PM »

dang it I jus got rid of a 2v manifold to a scrapper.i got tired of kicking it so I replaced it with a edelbrock. might be easier to do it like me. Nice inside bro

Russ · « **Reply #20 on:** April 04, 2006, 10:48:06 PM »

I think I might have the 2 valve but dont know how to tell. I am going to the carshow in ok city this weekend and I hope I might find something and then I'll be set.STANG OUT

Jerry Baker · « **Reply #21 on:** April 05, 2006, 09:18:48 AM »

looks good to me as well. Now for the intake I have no clue all I have ever seen is the 4v

Jerry Baker · « **Reply #22 on:** April 05, 2006, 11:33:10 AM »

Hey go to the picture section click on 71 - 73 and go to the 3rd page and look at the silver 71 doing the burn out. That can be your car. Rims and all. LOL

Russ · « **Reply #23 on:** April 05, 2006, 04:57:59 PM »

i AM GOING TO CHECK OUT THE PICS AND MAYBE EVEN GET THOSE RIMS HAVE TO LOOK,LOL. i AM STILL HAVIG PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR WANTING TO STALL AT 60 AND i THINK i MIGHT GET SOME NEW PLUGS AND THEN MAYBE JUST TAKE THE OLD INTAKE OFF AND SEE IF IT LOOKS WORTH A CRAP OR NOT.stang out.

Jerry Baker · « **Reply #24 on:** April 05, 2006, 07:34:08 PM »

I had to change carbs on mine, had rust in the tank and it was stoping the filters up might want to look at that stuff too.

Jerry Baker · « **Reply #25 on:** April 05, 2006, 07:35:34 PM »

oh the rims on that car are the Magnum 500s same as whats on mine if my memory is corect if not they are the 5 star cragers which I thought about getting for mine at one time.

Russ · « **Reply #26 on:** April 06, 2006, 10:26:20 PM »

Yeah I think that might be it I changed the wires plugs cap and rotor to include points. I have alot of ideas and I am leaving tommorrow morning for the car show and I hope I can find the right intake but who knows. I cannot wait to get to ky and get help with the body. I started sanding the top off of it but who knows I want to get as much as I can then get with marty or someone to get this dam body straight. I think it will be the next thing since the motor is running okay for the time being and now it is time to get on the worse part of the car the RUST. STANG OUT

Russ · « **Reply #27 on:** April 10, 2006, 12:12:10 PM »

Hey I found some moon cap rims but didn't get them thought they would be to old looking and they look better the old woodys and coupes not hte 1973 mach one. I know my car is about the ugliest car every made besides the 74-81 models which int my opion are all ugly but that is just me. I cannot believe that my car is so dam hard to find anything for but I guess that is just life the interior is complete and now the body is comming down to primer then it is on but still have those fenders I have to deal with which are going to be fun in it's self. STANG OUT

Russ · « **Reply #28 on:** April 10, 2006, 12:43:31 PM »

Got the top done and not going to put one back on there but shhh, no one can ever know. STAN OUT more to come

Thierry · « **Reply #29 on:** April 12, 2006, 11:21:24 AM »

Would you consider to exchange your ugly 1973 Mach 1 for a nice V6 1987 Firebird? :lol:
Seriously, I don't think the 71/73 Mach1 are ugly at all and they are my favorites after the 69/70 Mustangs. About the 1974/1978 ones, you are right. They didn't deserve the right to carry the Mustang emblems.
