Does the fuzzy go over the body lip in the photo?
Nothing is fitting well. I moved the windlace up and that helped, but I can't figure out if the fuzzy goes outboard or inboard of the body.

Following.

Thanks aslanefe. Weird they way they're made.
-
OK, I got them installed. Takes quite a bit to get the door to shut. I hope they break in quick.
Anyone know the purpose of these tabs on the bottom rail? Should they get bent over or what?
Sorry for the crappy pic.
-
No. I didn't see that. Thanks for bringing showing me the link.
-
Also, does the rubber get glued into the corner, or the left side or the right side in the pic?
I can't find any good images.

Installing lower weatherstripping on doors. These are repop doors and there are no holes where the front of the weatherstripping gets attached. Doers this look like the right area?

Thanks Kris.

So my Coupe had no windlace when I bought it and I'm not sure if this windlace is different than what I already bought for the headliner. Scott Drake Mustang Quarter Post Windlace Pair 1969-1970 (cjponyparts.com)
I'm thinking it is and I need to order the windlace for the quarter post also?

5 hours ago, aslanefe said:As they were with your cowl panel hardware, they go under the cowl panel where the rubber bumps are at both ends to level the cowl with fender. Put them between cowl panel and cowl before you tighten the rubber bumper screw (screw goes through the opening of shim). My 69 Grande have those to align the cowl panel.
That males sense and explains why they were with my cowl hardware. Thanks!
-
OK. So shims for body alignment or steering column bracket. I guess I was drunk when I put them in the cowl parts bag, lol.
Thanks.

So I went through all my disassembly photos and these didn't show up anywhere. They were in the hardware bag for the cowl, so I'm maybe under the cowl somewhere? Looks like spacers of some kind.
I went all through the Parts and Body Illustrations and couldn't find them in there either.

I think it rides great with 15". My suspension is very stiff and if I had 17" wheels I don't think I would like the extra jolt of manhole covers or other road imperfections.
Looks good. What are your suspension mods? Tire size and offset?

I really wanted the Fiero seats in mine. I just couldn't find any close that were a decent price. I ended up buying Infinity Q50 front and rear seats for $200. The front seats were larger than I expected. I re-sold the fronts for $200 and did some mods to the rear. They were too tall like the seats you have. I shortened the bottom seat and put the top section behind the bottom, making it sit lower. It still sits a tad high but I think they will work.
I bought Scat seats for the front. They look and feel good. I'm a little worried about how long they will last though. Not sure the quality of the material. I made my own tracks for them since they wanted $80 each for Mustang specific tracks.

That's a very sharp car. I've always loved red and black together.

That's really cool. I'm not sure I'd have the patience to do that though. It'd probably be easier than what he did though since I don't have a hood scoop. Good thing about that is it's not permanent and I could change it if I didn't like it.

I do like those hood stripes. I've never been a big fan of the stripes on the side though.

12 hours ago, rwcstang said:IMO I think they work well with early model fastbacks/coupes, but never liked them on 69-70 mustangs as I was used to seeing the matte hood and trunk ( i.e Mach 1/Boss). I like that style even more as it had a purpose of blocking the sun hitting the hood and potentially distracting the drivers eyesight.
Yep, that's what I had read. Not a lot of 69/70's around here so I can't say I'm used to the blacked out hoods. I have a couple weeks to decide since my painter is on the road. The more I look at the Le Mans the more I get used to them. Of course I got used to the stripes I had before, even though they were horrible, lol.
8 hours ago, EastYorkStang said:What about a single offset stripe ? Thinking about doing it if I get rid of my shaker.
That would be different. You're not worried it would throw of the visual balance of the car. I've seen some cars like that and they didn't look bad.

I didn't even realize the gold car was a 70 style. I thought it was a more modern design. I showed it to the wife and got a mixed response though. I think it looks pretty good and will still consider that design.
rmarks, your search skills are definitely better than mine. I found everything but the pics I was looking for, lol. Those are some great examples. I can see where the stripes on the crown of the hood kinda looks weird looking from the side on the 69. Overall I like the look though.
Thanks for your thoughts fellas.
My painter (son) did this to his Mustang a few years back. Unfortunately he lost it shortly after. He added twin turbos and was out testing them and it caught fire. He thinks it was an injector, but was never really sure. He had forgotten his fire extinguisher and still kicks himself over that.

So I'm at the stage of deciding on stripes or not. Car will be same color as before (burnt orange/copper) and I bought white paint initially to do Le Mans stripes. Now after more research I've read Le Mans stripe don't look that great on 69's though. I think they look good on the blue car posted, but it's not a good pic looking down the hood. I do not have a hood scoop like the blue car.
I've also thought of these larger stripes like on the gold car. I have no idea on the dimensions for those though.
It had these ridiculous stripes on it when I bought it. Don't know what the PO was thinking.
Anyone have good pics of a coupe with Lemans stripes? Opinion's on Lemans on 69's?

If all else fails try cleaning the fuse contacts in the fusebox.

I did this when I converted to EFI. It's nice, but by time you buy the high pressure fuel line and fittings.it gets pretty expensive.

Good info. I thought they limited how much you could drive. Thanks.

Does Hagerty limit when you can drive your car? Like only to Car Shows or on the weekends?
Quarter Post Windlace?

I got it figured out. I forgot there was a tab on the panel that slipped over the body.
