- The Mach-A-Reina build threadHello y'all! Recently I got my dream car: a 1971 Mach 1 in white. It's a car I'd been pining after for a long while. The car (of course) has some issues and I've been slowly trying to work through them. Some are major, some are minor and some are TBD! The car itself is […]
- Header options & installation adviceHey all! I'm looking to swap out the stock exhaust manifold on my 73 Mach 1 (351c 4v). I heard the Hooker 6915 long tube is a good option, but my question is mostly on fitment. It's pretty tight in there so do I need to just loosen the motor mounts, pull the engine or […]
- Replacing the front springs on my 1971 MustangI bought an entire suspension and steering kit from CJ pony. Have had issues! ......but this is about the springs. I have all the other suspansion parts in place and now need to install the springs. The spring compressor I am using will not allow me to compress down to the size I need. The […]
- Where the hell I have been and why your order isn't done yet.I am not sure if my email auto-reply message is working and my website notice is minimal, so I am posting this on the websites most frequented by my customers. Unfortunately I have been hit with a barrage of issues lately which have kept me away from work. In early October I was told that […]
- Rebuild UpdateRestoration shop was able to tear down my 351 this weekend so figured I would update those that were interested! Tranny is also all cleaned up and rebuilt. I’ve included all the pictures I was sent, as well as the texts I received from the shop. Nothing I didn’t expect to be honest. Could be […]
- 1973 Convertible Project: Continue Rust TreatmentWell, I guess I did it. I got a second 73 Project car. Now, while my 73 Coupe (Grande) looked like a basket case (BC) project when I got it, I might have just found one that is one basket short of a BC. Ok, the Pros and Cons: PROs Looks like it was a […]
- D1AE heads, when did they start producing them?Hello all. I am putting my 1971 M code 351c together and noticed my 4v closed chamber heads had the casting numbers of D1AE-GA so I felt they were probably replaced through the years. They have 0J4 and 0J8 date codes. Which if I am correct means 1970 Sept 4th and 8th. My question is […]
- PBR and The Amazing Technicolor Paint JobSomebody was quite undecided about what to do with this thing over the years and sanding this has been a bitch. If this thing had a crayon sharpener in it, I'd have the Crayola 64 box.
- ’71 Mach 1 Resto ProjectI just bought this '71 Mach 1 in November in Vegas and shipped it back to the Chicago area. I was just informed about and joined this forum today. I am going to restore this Mustang to my tastes rather than to original. I had a white and black '73 as a high schooler and […]
- Accidentally cut the metal fuel lineI was trying very hard not to do this, but I nicked both the fuel and the vapor metal lines while cutting out flooring. I slapped on some 3/8 rubber fuel line, let me know if this will present an issue. I assume ok since there's already rubber / metal / rubber all the way […]

- Marti Auto email?After several attempts to reach Marti Auto on the phone, I left voicemail for them over 24 hours ago... no return call so far. They don't list an email address for contact.
