The best place to start would probably be a set of Shop Manuals and (Osborne) Assembly Manuals. There is no interior assembly manual for 1969 but the 1970 is very close. https://www.npdlink.com/search/products?search_terms=interior%2BAssembly%2Bmanual&top_parent=200001&year=1970

I don't know about the Dynacorn part but I bought a rear valence that has the dual exhaust cutouts for my convertible to replace the stock single exhaust (no cutouts) and I'm sure it would also fit a coupe. I don't recall where I bought mine but NPD carries both. https://www.npdlink.com/1965-1973-mustang/body-exterior/body-parts-and-sheet-metal/rear-valance-panel-rear-license-plate?year=1969

The link provided by Vic is for a standard interior, it sounds like you're looking for the deluxe interior. NPD has both in stock. You could call NPD and ask if it fits the ACP dash: https://www.npdlink.com/search/products?search_terms=map%2Blight%2Bassembly&top_parent=200001&year=1969

Happy holidays everyone! Good to hear from you, Print Dad! Will keep your wife in my thoughts, that's a tough fight.

The 3M DI-NOC coverings seem to be a popular choice. Never used it myself. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/c/films-sheeting/architectural-finishes/surface/i/automotive/

Thanks for the kind words, Bob, but it's definitely a team effort. I really wish Ben would update the site.

A spammer replied to the thread, which is why it got bumped. The spam's been deleted. Re=reading it got me thinking of giving it a try myself.

Old thread, I know but I just dispatched my first mouse of the season and it reminded me of it. I use the old fashioned mouse traps baited with peanut butter. I have a vert and over the years the buggers have been a problem in the trunk, under the rear window and in the rear window well. I've tried the peppermint, dryer sheets, steel wool and other stuff but concluded that mining the shop with traps, especially around the doors where they come in is the best defense. Never tried the high tech electronic stuff but the reviews aren't great. Sure, it's dirty and requires checking the traps every day or every other day and reloading as needed but they haven't done any damage since I got diligent about it.

I'd be interested, too. The big box store bits I usually get are ok for my woodworking but never survive any metal work. I've read Norseman are great but can't justify the price tag. Maybe someday.

Yeah, they're back again, very discouraging....

@bswor , did you see the e-mail?

That is the standard interior panel with the clock option. I don't know if that dash panel or the clock are reproduced for the standard interior. One option is to replace the dash panel with the plain, no clock style: https://www.npdlink.com/product/trim-panel-dash-rh/205504?backurl=search%2Fproducts%3Fsearch_terms%3Ddash%2Btrim%26top_parent%3D200001%26year%3D1969&year=1969 My car came with the convenience group, so I got the clock style panel with a clock delete plate. That's the only way they could give me the glove box light.

Got my shirt in the mail, it looks good, even the red Mach 1 on the back :) Thanks, Bob.

A request has been sent to Ben, the site owner. We'll keep you posted on any news.

You can adjust out some of the slop using the adjustment screw on the top of the steering box. Google the process and be careful not to over-tighten things or you can do more damage than good. There are places that will rebuild your box for a fee. Of course, you can replace the old system with a modern steering system if you're looking for a bigger project. :) Good luck, let us know what you decide to do.

I'm not the OP but I think this is what he was talking about... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/show-me-50s-and-60s-to-1964-cars-with-dog-dish-hubcaps.1143697/

Still waiting on the much-needed update to the Invision Community forum software. https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/

Welcome. That car looks like could probably be saved, but as pointed out, it's going to take a lot of work and money. I'd offer less than $10K, since there's no drivetrain and nearly all the sheet metal is bad. As mentioned above, confirm it' what it's advertised to be, not all fastbacks are Mach 1's. It sounds like you've got the right attitude, it's gotta be a labor of love because you will end up upside down on the money and time invested but it can be rewarding if you end up with an old Mustang you enjoy. Not trying to discourage you but go in with your eyes open and know it's going to be a long haul.

LOL, thanks Bob. I've cancelled my next three birthdays so that should slow down the aging a little bit. :)

I retired earlier this year and have the same problem with being busy :) As for the site, there is a software update needed to bring things back to top performance but it seems to have lost momentum.

Yeah, it's a trend. Went to a small local show last August and there was a whole row of late model Mustangs and a few modern hemi's. Some very nice (and very expensive) but not my thing, at least at a cruise-in. I like built over bought, like the old-timer with the flathead-powered deuce that was there.

Awesome, I remember going through the same search.

West Coast Classic Cougar sells what you are looking for. If the link below doesn't work, the assembly is called "Fuse Block Accessory Wire and Bus Bar" There is also a switch on the e-brake pedal that I assume you already have. https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/18740/32804/fuse-block-accessory-wire-and-buss-bar-rapro-1969-1973-mercury-cougar-1969-1973-ford-mustang.html

There is an auxiliary post on the fuse block that accepts a yellow pigtail, about 6" long. This is what the brake light bullet connector plugs into for power. Most Mustangs did not need the aux power and did not receive the yellow pigtail, so you'll have to source one or improvise. I thought I had pictures but I can't find any, I'll see if I can dig anything up.

It's a never-ending battle, the bots come back every day, sometimes more that once. We need the forum software upgrade - that should kill the bots and allow the site to be secure again which should fix the "unsafe" warnings and let the "like" feature work again.
