Might want to give Paul a call at Mustang MD in Castaic CA. I'm pretty sure I saw several 69 fenders there last time I visited him. He doesn't like to ship parts to flaky unknown people, but told me he'd ship them for my friends. I'd use Henry fenders if available. 

His number is 818-367-0055.

I dropped by the other day and he doesn't have any good 69 fenders.

Why not use Dyna mat or something similar ?

Nagging wife or girl friend also helps drown all squeaks and rattles ...although the stress level is probably just as high as the squeak and rattle !

Huh, I've found that squeaks and high pitched noises come from the nagging wife or girlfriend.

Is the hip damage a result of kicking too much a$$?  I sure hope they've given you meds until the surgery. Best wishes for a successful replacement and quick recovery.

Interesting responses. I agree it looks great and I would do it before painting. The squeaks and rattles probably would annoy me, but man that car looks good with the slats, and its the only car that does. Since mine didn't come with the added rear wing, they just won't look good to me. The chin spoiler is a must! One thing that car needs is a good backup camera. I put one on my C5 and it helped immensely.

Yep, I agree.  The rear visibility is so poor I added a rear camera on the license plate frame. It works pretty well but mine doesn't have enough side view to see all the way to the outer edges. Better than nuttin though.

Thanks Terry, but it's a 30/30 car with its share of flaws. And all of which I caused :)

[Sport Slats before or after paint?]

The page I'm looking at has 3 chin spoilers, I'm using the middle priced one.

[Sport Slats before or after paint?]

I'd fit and drill the holes before paint. I used the chin spoiler from NPD, which fit great and installed easily.

I envy you guys who have the talent to do the hood black out on these 69 Mach 1s. I didn't think I had the skill or patience to do it correctly, so I just painted the entire hood. Ya, I pussed out.

Anyone accuse you of being a packrat?

There's only one Pakrat. Wonder what he's up to.

Welcome to the forum! And pics, we need pics.

This Jim Osborn manual has some info, no idea of it helps you.

Nice. Where did you find a lower dash?

[I see the light ... body and paint]

Damn. Sorry to hear this, but you are not alone. Last year in October while leaving Ogallala Nebraska I backed into a parked Yukon damaging my bumper and rear panel. Back circa 1999 with the 69 idling I was adding tranny fluid. Apparently it was started in reverse, and when the trans had enough fluid, it took off into an 8x8 gate post. Damaged the quarter panel, bumper, deck lid,  and rear body panel. 

I feel your pain bro. 

[I see the light ... body and paint]

Good decision Ed. 

[69 mach1 Wheel and tire size]

What is the backspace on this wheels? Pics look like you could've gone deeper.

I'm thinking you ought to paint that scooter red :)

GT or Cobra? I think they are 3/8 in.-24 Thread,

This is a clue. Cobra is metric. 

 

 

[What all seals are involved in the gas tank and sending unit?]

I guess I got lucky installing my fuel sending unit. It went in easy peasy and didn't leak. Yet...

[Thinking about another project]

I thought I read that the aftermarket shakers were fiberglass, and I know the factory are metal. 

[Holley carb, continually problem]

Petroleum products make pretty good weed killer. Or so I've heard.

[7.25 differential gone]

You'll need to check its fit with your driveshaft once the rear end in installed. At the very least you'll probably need a combo U joint, as I think the 7.25 rear has 1 inch cups and the 8 inch has 1-1/16 inch. Good chance I'm wrong though.

Have you used octane booster when you fill up your tank? The needle on my Holley Ultra XP was sticking until I started using the octane booster. If I fill up and don’t put in the octane booster right away it starts sticking again. I’ve already taken the needle out and cleaned it prior to using the octane booster and continued to stick. 

It wouldn't take too many fill ups along with a can of octane booster to pay for a new carburetor.
