My "Restorer" was able to find a couple. We are going to use the spring out of them. The Scott Drake repops are actually pretty nice, according to him. Thanks for checking 1969Fstback! BT

Unfortunately, the "shell" car I purchased did not have the original exterior door handles. And that is what he is saying, i.e., that the reproduction handles are too thin. BT

Yes, they are original doors, albeit, not original to the car. The Restorer asserts it is the button mechanism on the reproduction ones that is causing the issue. BT

My restorer installed a set of reproduction exterior door handles in my '69 Mach 1. The door button is somewhat hard and according to my restorer, that tends to come with the territory when utilizing the reproduction door handles. He (we) are looking for some originals to use instead but I was wondering if others have had the same experience with their use of the reproduction units, i.e., the buttons being very hard or stiff. BT

It is my understanding (per my Restorer) that the originals should have the Ford logo and a Ford part number inside the handle. Thanks for your response. BT

Looking for a nice set of original outer door handles. What do you have? BT

Disregard...found one at "Tony Branda"

Looking for an original or original tooled hood molding for my 1969 Mach 1. I have one on orded but got a call from CJ Pony Parts today advising they are on back order and are not sure as to when they will be available. Got questions in to a couple of the other Parts Houses that have it listed but not sure if they, too, will have to put it on back order. Let me know what you got and what you want for it. BT

Yes, I had the same issue but luckily my "Restorer" had seen the situation before and had a factory AC type glove box which he used to replace my non original AC glove box. It made the AC install very easy! As noted above, that is one of the REAL positives of having a forum dedicated to our cars. BT

I am getting close to pulling the 1969 428CJ motor out of my '73 Mach 1 for install into my '69 Mach 1 since the paint and interior on the '69 is about finished (I have a 700+HP/730+ Torque 545 that is going into the '73).. The 428CJ motor currently has the Dove 427-428 medium riser Spyder Intake manifold and I was wondering if anyone on the site is running that manifold with the shaker intake? If so, do you you or did you have any clearance problems? Thanks! BT

I am looking at purchasing this steering wheel and was wondering what was the final resolution? Has anyone else use this product with either the 9 bolt or 6 bolt wheel? If so, did you also have "issues" with the turn signal switch not working properly? Thanks! BT

For anyone who might be entertaining the thought of dealing with "rsanter" in the future, please note that I had an OUTSTANDING transaction with him as it relates to the pitman rod he sold me...it was as advertised, with prompt shipment. THANKS, Bob! BT

Still looking. BT

How much do you want for it? ...and how would you like to handle the purchase? Do you have Pay Pal? BT

I realize this is would not normally be the place to make this request but a very close friend of mine is in desperate need of a pitman arm for an early 1967 Mustang. The part number is C7ZA-3590-A. This is the one with the 1" sector shaft. Let me know if you have one or know of a source. BT

I haven't used them but they appear to have some very NICE options available. http://www.newvintageusa.com/69-70mustang.html BT

While I have no personal experience with their kits, it would appear that Survival Motor Sports is the premiere provider of FE stroker kits. http://www.survivalmotorsports.com/FEKitTech.html BT

AWESOME responses! I posted the query up on another Mustang forum that I modierate and got some of the same responses. Since this is one of four (4) Mustang "toys" I have, it probably will not see over 2000 miles a year and never in inclement weather. As previously noted, the undercarriage is ESPECIALLY clean and already painted so I have decided to just hit it with a coat of clear. Here in Memphis, we do not USUALLY get that much snow and the car will stay garaged when not in use. THANKS for the inputs, Folks! BT

...to continue the discussion. I guess I am really torn as the car currently has ABSOLUTELY no rust...I mean it is clean. So, a couple of questions as relates to the posts so far: If you have no rust issues, what would be the reason to use any type of undercoating, especially if the "noice" issues have been addressed in the interior of the car? machm1970 - Are you planning on using the aerosol can version of the 2k clear? Again, I have not made a decision yet; I am just trying to get a feel for what others are doing. Thanks! BT

Well, I was over at my Restorer's shop today to review the install of my subframe connectors and we got into a conversations regarding the pros and cons of undercoatings. It was noted that my '69 is really clean underneath and I am going to be utilizing the Mass carpet inside. Anyway, I was wondering as to what the sentiment is here on the Site as to undercoating. BT

Are you inquiring about just the motor or a "complete" 1969 428CJ Mustang? BT

I don't know if Joshua is still on the site but I purchased this quite some time ago. Sl, it is no longer availabe. BT

What about this one or are trying to get an "original?" http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/c6dz-10884-b.html BT

No problem...he was able to order a set from another Mmember here on the site. BT

Very NICE, indeed! Thanks for sharing the picture of your beautiful '69. BT
