Hello,
Although I am a member of various message boards, this is my first post on mach1club.
I have had a 72' Mach 1 project car for the past 8 years or so and am finally getting around to restoring the car. To date, I have disassembled the car and have completely rebuilt the engine. I purchased my car when I was in high school and had good intentions. Obviously restoring cars is not the cheapest hobby so after the engine was rebuilt I was stuck.
Now that its a few years later I am ready to move on.
All in all the car is in OK shape. I do have the rusted cowl issue that most of the 71-73 Mach's had, as well as some other minor rust and body work issues. I do not foresee any major issues.
I do want to do a frame up restoration back to its original setup. I am not looking to modify the car in any way.
Basically the point of this post is to see where you all purchase parts from, and to see if any of you know where you can purchase those hard to find parts like the seat rail tracks.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I will obviously post more specific topics when the time comes. But for now, this is the start.
Thanks,
Mateya
