Guys, Thanks for the replies that for sure helps. I did see some rants about CJ pony when i was browsing thru the forums but it looks like they took care of the problems. Thanks for the inputs.

Guys, I have a 1970 coupe I am looking to get some input on these following parts suppliers. www.cal-mustang.com www.macsautoparts.com www.mustangsunlimited.com www.cjponyparts.com www.scottdrake.com www.aapd.net www.npdlink.com What I am looking for is which supplier has better deals and are good to work with or completely stay away from. The other thing is how is availability with the supplier? and do they take care of back orders in a timely manner. If you have better experience with a supplier not listed please let me know. Thanks in advance Henk

Thats a bummer , i guess the sentimental value is higher than the money. I had the same problem with the mustang I bought the lady wouldnt sell it at first. After a little talk she was willing to part from the car. I told her that I would keep her in the loop and if she wanted to see the car she could any day.

Roger C, Sorry not a B-52 guy....... Used to be F-16 Crewchief now work A-10's in depot and civillian T-33's i am just a firm believer in the old fasioned way of war......! Thanks for the reply. DRASTiK thanks for the info, that is usefull info for the next mod.

Guys, I was given some very low miles 3.23 gears from a 2014 mustang. Does anybody know if they will cause problems in a 1970 coupe with a 8.8 rear end. Previous owner put in 4.11 gears in the coupe and i want to cruise more on lower RPM's .The engine is a original 302.

Check out www.mustangtek.com maybe they can help I have a 70 coupe with the original engine it has the last 5 of the vin on the back of the engine. The date stamps on her where from 1971. Try to explain that one!!!

Ok sounds good thanks for the advise. I will tear in to it one of these days.

Bob. These are my other projects with this car Sorry all pics automaticly turned side ways!!!!!

Thanks for the info super stanger

Hope so!!!!

BandBSTANGS, i havent thought of it yet. I am in contact with RSANTER who has some parts and i am thinking of going to "cut and paste" first so cut the old part and weld in the new/ other part. As for the rust on the side next to the window i guess i have to put my sheetmetal skills to work. I was a aircraft sheetmetal guy but we dont rivet things on cars like we do with airplanes. So I have to learn the skill of welding i assume in order to get this project going OK moderators what is this automatic attachment stuff that I cant delete!!!!!!!!

Bob i send you a PM

Congrats

I am thinking of working on it and after i take the window out see what the difference is and i hope the joggle that the rear window sits in is the same as earlier models so i can cut the bad part out and weld a new piece in without messing toomuch up

Bob, i live in northern utah. You are right about the other holes. They had/have pop rivets in there thats how they mounted the rubber strips to staple the canvas roof too. I dont know how to weld "yet" but willing to learn. There is also a hole on the outterside where the roof comes down. Those are my two major problems and i heard that you still cant weld rust so i have to sand it down quite a bit to get to solid metal. 1970 coupes are hard to find and if i can find one they want a nice$$ for it. Thanks for the advise and keep it coming

Guys I have no idea what the first pic is???? I couldnt delete it. And have no idea why it posted the pic upside down?? I did this from my phone so i guess it doesnt work too good. Anyway the bottom pic is from before i changed the rear shocks and small wierd tire. The first pic is from right after the tire change and now she sits level since i used airshocks so i can load up the kids and go cruising without worries of bottoming out

This damage is from when she had a phantom convertible top on her. When I bought the car it was ripped so I took it off and have to fix holes in the roof too but they are very small. Other than that she has the common rust problems. Quarter panels and a little on the doors.

Here are the pics the hole is right against the window seal. In one pic you can see my other hole on the side piece and have to work with that somehow

Guys, I need some advise. I have a 1970 coupe and the Deck panel between the trunk lid and the rear window has a rotted thru hole. I can't find this part for a 1970. Can I use the 1967 coupe part and try to fit it in or just cut a piece and weld it in to place. Thanks in advance Henk

does this fit a 1970 coupe??

does this fit a 1970 coupe??

those are sweet looking

Guys, I find old stuff on C-130's........ we pulled a galley out of the plane and it showed that this guys made a bet with another guy in 1964!!! and wrote it on the wall of the plane!! But stuff like that is cool..
