The Ranch Wagon is now owned by a local fire fighter and he and his family daily drive it and love it. The Maverick is gone and this Mustang is all I have left so I can focus 100% on it.
TCI is my first choice hands down...I put that stuff on the Maverick and the quality is top notch...we'll see if that fantasy comes true on this project! As to the rest of your suggestions...HOMERUN! Looks like we are getting a pretty firm shape for what to do on this car.
my 1st car was a 73 coupe. Long gone but 22 years later I still miss it. I dont know what it is but an old school set of slots looks absolutely badass on these old cars.
It may be a bit outlandish, but a Coyote 5.0 would be awesome in that thing! I'd start by making it a little more agile than it is, some coilovers, 5 speed, and an LSD (as someone else suggested) would be a nice addition. Can't wait to see what comes of this!
Just came across your channel - when I was looking at how to do a drum to disc conversion. And to see this video, and where the Mustang is now - so damn inspiring!!!!!
Howdy and welcome! Thanks for that... you won't believe it... but I just finished a road trip into Death Valley in the Mustang! It was 128 degrees and the thing did great. Look for the video next week sometime!
@@AutoEdits Looking forward to it! Have been watching the "Large Marge" playlist, and love the learning factor that you put into it. Am getting into learning about cars now at the age of 38, and got a long way to go - but these videos help so much. So thank you for what you do :)
Just getting ready to start the resto-mod on my 73 Mustang Convertible. Watching as many of your video's as possible as I form my plan of attack. Also, a Jeeper who builds/modifies his Jeep as well. Lost of synergy. Sweet ride.
Man, I kept seeing this car in the background of your videos and had to come check it out. That '72/'73 body style is my absolute favorite and would be my go to for sure if I got another vehicle.
Love the ride! I'm sure that a 5.0 Coyote would liven up the 0-60 (and they're starting to become available). Leave the body as-is, it's a time capsule!!! I'll enjoy following this build for sure!
Well, I was bummed to see the end of the Maverick build... but this Mustang is one I can surely get behind. Very Cool Car Jason. I think if it were me I'd build it in the Resto-Mod style. Make the body and interior look close to stock but do up the engine, tranny, rear end and suspension. That 302 isn't a bad place to start if you want to keep that engine. Good Luck Jason. I'll be looking forward to the next episode. -Drew
Honestly, you've got a pretty good base to start from. I say put a high duration cam, some headers, and a 4-barrel swap are the way to go. Also an interesting tid-bit is the 1973 302 is a C-code engine, meaning you can put bigger heads on it like a 351 Cleveland. I did it to mine and it really brings the original engine to life. Also doing a coil over conversion makes the steering a breeze. A 5-speed and a 3:55 gear ratio also couldn't hurt anything. As for paint and body, I'd remove the spoiler on the trunk, add a chin spoiler, black out the grill, paint it a metallic dark blue, and give it correct stripping in pearl white. As for rims, some 17inch 5-spokes in chrome or brushed finish. Interior wise, I think the interior on these years aren't bad. Maybe swapping the gauge lights for LEDs and having custom upholstered seats to look like the originals, but have the support of a modern racing bucket, similar to a recaro or bride seat. Also another thing you could do is get a working ram-air set up for the hood. A place called Mustang's Unlimited sells them, it would be a cool way to have a cold air intake. Good luck though, can't wait to see what you do with it.
Whoa! Awesome Ideas. Thanks so much for the input. Lots of what your saying makes sense and I just installed the sport seats. I did commit to stripping the interior and at this point must make new door panels and such for it. We'll see about the suspension and brakes...
Sweet, I'm definitely keeping up with this build because nobody real builds the husky Mustang's. I definitely like your Shelby styled roll bar idea and the seats are actually what I bought for my '73 haha. Anyway, love the car and the videos. Good luck!
It's too bad you got rid of the Mav because it was nice to see a different project. I have a 1969 Mustang Mach 1. One of the first projects I did to it was replace the front suspension. It drove like crap and all of the bushings were rotten. I haven't worked on the rear suspension yet but that will be a future project. I need to drop it's engine which is a 351C. I was going to go 460, but after adding up the cost and weight gain, I decided to stay with a 351ci engine and a 5spd trans.
I have no experience and bought myself a 54 ford mainline last year after my 20th birthday, anything I try to do is met with problem after problem, just spent about a week changing the rear end from stock to a 9 inch. I love watching your build up and it inspires many ideas I just need the money! I know I'm a little late to the show -.-
I like this as well.....keep it super simple. Just spend your money on go fast pieces,gut the interior and redo it with sound deadening a carpet kit and aluminum panels.... make sure the body is reasonably straight and just plastikote it.
I can't wait to see what you do with the mustang. I am sure you will make it an awesome show car. I am sorry about the Mav that was an awesome car but keep your head up and it will get done.
Hey man, hope you get to complete this project. I was looking forward to seeing the v10 maveric completed. Looking forward to see what you have installed for this one. Good luck!
Make it safe first. Get some decent shocks on it and make sure the brakes are up to par. Once you have that sorted you can start replacing the ball joints, tie rod ends and changing all the rotten bushings out for polyurethane ones that are cheap and easily acquired. All in you are probably less than $500 in parts to get this baseline. You will then have a feel for the car's true nature and make better decisions about how you want to move forward with the project.
Suggestion: 351 Cleveland. Port plates and Air Gap duel plane. :) 5-Speed out of a newer Stang. 9" Rear with some 3.91's to go with that overdrive :) My Grabber Maverick has 3.70's in the rear and with the T-5's .68 OD it does about 2500 RPM at 70 MPH.
Off road style. A Baja Mustang. That would be unique and bitchin'. I would not go overboard and try to install 4x4 in the beginning, but some rally lights and a slight lift with dirt tires and a high compression rebuild. Yeah that would be sick. A poor man's Rally Fighter if you will.
A heidts or TCI K frame & rear suspension W/coil overs. 17" wheels with good tires. A curry rear (the 8.8 works just fine) will cure the one wheel peel. I would go for a 4 bolt main Windsor. There's infinite cheap power parts. A TKO 5. That cures the suspension & drivetrain.
Hey man, I have the same sickness! I enjoy driving my so-so condition 1965 Mustang coupe as a daily driver 22 miles round trip to work everyday; even regardless of the weather; hot with no AC, cold, rain, snow even! I am slowly fixing it up a bit and improving it though. Enjoying your videos so far. Would love to do the coil over upgrade but cost too much for now. ~ Norm in Pennsylvania.
This is ultimately your choice, but I would get the nyan cat off the fan shroud as soon as possible. it's the opposite of the old school badass-ness that your project mustang portrays, haha. Also, I love how you enjoy every little quirk and shortcoming of the old chassis while acknowledging that it can be improved - sounds just like what I'd do, haha. Glasspacks are awesome. Keep up the great work
Toss those baby block engines and stuff a 429/460 BBF in there with a T56 manual transmission. A set of the aluminum AR CJ heads and a Weiand Stealth intake will both provide some power and remove some weight off the front end. Give it some power to match those Mach I decals. Replace that one legger with a Detroit Locker in a 9" or 8.8 rear end. Then go to work on brakes and suspension.....or maybe do the brakes first. ;) P.S. Take that girly nyan cat off the shroud.
Wow, thanks a lot for answering! Good to hear that it found a nice home, but sad to know we'll never see it in your videos. What's the plan for the Mustang?
Great question... this car found me actually. I owned a daily driver but kind of ratty 70 maverick at the time and a young dude that owned this thing wanted to trade because he actually wanted a slightly smaller car with a straight 6 engine. So we traded and the rest is history... I haven't talked to the guy in years... hope he and the maverick are good.
I just came across the Maverick series of videos and watched the set. Too bad to see it go. I'll share some thoughts on the Mustang. I must agree with what abesc2 posted below. Start by bringing the car back to a baseline with shocks, brakes and front end wear parts. Then STANCE!!! Meaning wheels, tires and altitude (not a typo). I would definitely pursue one of the bolt-in cross member / coilover kits for the front. Hopefully, one with R&P. If not, then remove the last of the looseness by installing a good rebuilt steering box. (While you're at it, and have a chance, "shave" the shock towers to allow for future engine swaps.) For cost and simplicity in the short term, install a set of the de-arched composite mono-leaf spring sets in the rear. Eventually consider a coilover conversion here as well. I'm particularly disposed toward the track arm style myself. There are plenty of viable engine/trans combos to consider down the road, but drive it with the 302, as is, for now. That said, the quickest power train performance upgrade I would suggest would be a set of 3.73's and an AOD. I bet this entire package can be ssembled for under $5k. Hope you find these suggestions helpful.
I like the mustang, id definitely do the suspension parts first, get it sitting and handling right. Once that is near done then i would start considering its purpose and decide on an automatic or manual transmission.
How about making it safe and giving it tight handling with some suspension work? Starting with ball joints, tie rod ends, spring and shock upgrades, after market swaybars, etc. or if you want to trick it out maybe a complete after market suspension>
Make it into a road carver. Start with your chassis and suspension. And of course the biggest breaks that will fit your set up. Like 20 inch rear wheels with 19 in the front. Just go to Shelby Automotive and look at what they are doing with the GT350. I am extremely happy with what they did with mine. Drop in a 5.0 modular engine and you can develop up to 700 hp without touching the bottom end. And still have great reliability. But start from the back and work your way up to the front.
Nope. Posi rear end first. You need the wheels to spin at the same speed in order to have any fun. Then manual, and then power for the engine. (does it have disc brakes yet? That should be done 1st/2nd no matter what.) At least that is what I would do.
Be sure to check out what Griggs Racing offers as well as Total Control Products. Also Detroit Speed has a fairly new line for Mustangs. Will definitely follow this project, but what happened to the Wagon? Still got the 3rd gen Camaro?
Any news? I've been thinking about this a bit. I still think a high reving small block is the go. Are you familiar with the 'aussie' v8? 302 clevo heads on windsor block. They're dirt cheap on ebay Australia. I can get a set and send them to you if you like?
Great channel man. Im excited to watch all these project builds ! Quick question...How can i start to learn about working on project cars? Where do i start ?
+Diego Nava Thanks! Here's how you get started... get a few dollars together, look at the local ads and find a car in your price range that makes you kind of happy and start tinkering. Basic tools, common sense and the internet will help you learn as you go!
Go on Craigslist buy a car from like 1960-79 and start taking it apart junkyard parts will help if you don't want to spend a lot and the Internet will be your instruction manual
autoedit , get a 71 to 73 mustang. then find a 75 to 79 Granada and use it as a parts car. it is much cheaper and you can up grade to power disk brakes without modification if the Mustang did not come with it.
i'd would build a street/track car me personally i love sleeper cars. Although i don't know if you could consider a 73 mustang with a 302 a sleeper but to each his own.if it was my car id get the interior ie carpet,headliner,door panels,etc also i love the look of aluminum, Beef up the motor maybe new intake,carb,cam,maybe head work and a bitchen exhaust, depending on the stock axle ratio maybe new gears and a welded diff,locker,posi whatever works, and id get rid of all that mach 1 decals and stupid spoiler and either do a simple and cheap but still nice paint job or leave as is after decal removal and enjoy the shit out of it at the track.strip or to work and some people may not wanna drive a loud ass muscle car with no interior to work everyday but i see no problem with it i ride a bike with a straight pipe exhaust every day and would love to have a car that i just shitely described
the car is a keeper put upgrades turbo anc stuff but im working on my 1973 theres no video on youtube that shows how to change the ignition switch maybe make a video
Mach 1 clone, with pro-touring suspension. Not a full competition suspension just some cheap, easy bolt on stuff. Some good disc brakes all around, you don't need performance brakes on a daily driver and you don't want hard competition suspension.
Nyan cat? hehe, it's a silly song with a silly image of that cat flying through space. Hope to see videos of the project as it begins and goes on, it's what might inspire me to get my own ass in gear and get my Buick up and running again :P
So sorry, but the video doesn't show how crappy this thing actually is. Don't miss understand me...I absolutely love it and am committed to making it awesome but don't get sucked in to the brand thing! If it quacks like a duck...it's a duck! LOL
The Ranch Wagon is now owned by a local fire fighter and he and his family daily drive it and love it. The Maverick is gone and this Mustang is all I have left so I can focus 100% on it.

Leave the body as-is, it's a time capsule!!!
I'll enjoy following this build for sure!
I love the Clevelands! Great suggestion and thanks for the details on the transmissions. A manual shift is a must.

Love this car because I use to own one. A 1972 best car ever!!!
Have to sell it to my brother couple years to go....
I disagree...this thing is a forgotten gem! Stick around and you'll see!

that thing sounds really good. gotta love that old school glasspack sound!!
Thanks Dude...Glad to hear you're sticking around...It should be fun.
WOW...loving the way you think!
Thanks Dude! I'm really glad your sticking around!!!
Looks like a fun project. Can't wait to follow your progress.
I like this as well.....keep it super simple. Just spend your money on go fast pieces,gut the interior and redo it with sound deadening a carpet kit and aluminum panels.... make sure the body is reasonably straight and just plastikote it.
Rebuild the suspension & steering with stuff from Opentracker/Streetortrack, bigger swaybars, Shelby Drop it, 17s withsome sticky rubber and look out!
I can't wait to see what you do with the mustang. I am sure you will make it an awesome show car. I am sorry about the Mav that was an awesome car but keep your head up and it will get done.

I don't like cars that drive themselves. I like cars that let me drive them. Old cars are the best.

LOL, Thanks!
Awesome car. Those cars handle amazing, maybe yours needs TCP, and tender loving care.
My list would look like this
1. Coil-overs
2. Four link
3. L.S.D
4. 5 speed manual
5. Make it rev!
Great vid man, Just found you through reddit. Will continue to watch!
I'd personally say go the full pro touring idea, fat tires, low down stance, a bit trackable but not stupidly so.
LMAO Nyan cat on your radiator fan shroud
A screamer 347, or a stout 351 would be my ultimate goal in that car :)
Probably running Edelbrocks EFI system too..
Toss those baby block engines and stuff a 429/460 BBF in there with a T56 manual transmission. A set of the aluminum AR CJ heads and a Weiand Stealth intake will both provide some power and remove some weight off the front end. Give it some power to match those Mach I decals.

Wow, thanks a lot for answering! Good to hear that it found a nice home, but sad to know we'll never see it in your videos.
What's the plan for the Mustang?
Jason, what made you decide on the 73 mustang? Did you just like the car, or found a great deal or? Always wondered. Love the entire build up.
Great question... this car found me actually. I owned a daily driver but kind of ratty 70 maverick at the time and a young dude that owned this thing wanted to trade because he actually wanted a slightly smaller car with a straight 6 engine. So we traded and the rest is history... I haven't talked to the guy in years... hope he and the maverick are good.
HAHA! That's hilariously put...thanks for the info on that goofy thing.
I just came across the Maverick series of videos and watched the set. Too bad to see it go. I'll share some thoughts on the Mustang.
I must agree with what abesc2 posted below. Start by bringing the car back to a baseline with shocks, brakes and front end wear parts.
Then STANCE!!! Meaning wheels, tires and altitude (not a typo). I would definitely pursue one of the bolt-in cross member / coilover kits for the front. Hopefully, one with R&P. If not, then remove the last of the looseness by installing a good rebuilt steering box. (While you're at it, and have a chance, "shave" the shock towers to allow for future engine swaps.)
For cost and simplicity in the short term, install a set of the de-arched composite mono-leaf spring sets in the rear. Eventually consider a coilover conversion here as well. I'm particularly disposed toward the track arm style myself.
There are plenty of viable engine/trans combos to consider down the road, but drive it with the 302, as is, for now. That said, the quickest power train performance upgrade I would suggest would be a set of 3.73's and an AOD.
I bet this entire package can be ssembled for under $5k. Hope you find these suggestions helpful.
That there is a very well thought out list...and I like it a ton! Thanks for taking the time and jumping in on the project with me!
I like the mustang, id definitely do the suspension parts first, get it sitting and handling right. Once that is near done then i would start considering its purpose and decide on an automatic or manual transmission.

Drop in a fresh 302 w/ a few Mods, Posi, Suspension & Rims/Tires!!! It would make that Jalop a LOT more FUN!!!! ;)
Make it into a road carver. Start with your chassis and suspension. And of course the biggest breaks that will fit your set up. Like 20 inch rear wheels with 19 in the front.

had a 70 with 351 cleveland now i have a 72 convertible with a 302 love it put a efi system on it upgrade the steering system & suspension
Character on fan shroud: nyan cat
Hey thanks, I still keep that hanging in the garage.
I'm gonna follow for sure,the car looks really good
because they do not have any video of this project? I want to know if the car was ready.
Cool movie buddy, I enjoy it :)
If the cat make you laugh, just keep it:))
Nope. Posi rear end first. You need the wheels to spin at the same speed in order to have any fun. Then manual, and then power for the engine. (does it have disc brakes yet? That should be done 1st/2nd no matter what.) At least that is what I would do.
inspiration to finish my '72 351c coupe. thanks.
302 crate from the new boss with a 6 speed. That would be nice
That little pop tart cat is neon cat it's a classic game character
What a awesome car!
I would like to see the 351 back in it.
I would start with the suspension and wheels then Motor and trans. Interior and paint for last.
Be sure to check out what Griggs Racing offers as well as Total Control Products. Also Detroit Speed has a fairly new line for Mustangs.
Will definitely follow this project, but what happened to the Wagon? Still got the 3rd gen Camaro?
Any news? I've been thinking about this a bit. I still think a high reving small block is the go. Are you familiar with the 'aussie' v8? 302 clevo heads on windsor block. They're dirt cheap on ebay Australia. I can get a set and send them to you if you like?
You are awesome! Thanks for the suggestion and offer...We'll see what happens when I dig in to the motor...
Great channel man. Im excited to watch all these project builds ! Quick question...How can i start to learn about working on project cars? Where do i start ?

What happened to the Camero and the Station Wagon?
Deathtrap mustang grande!
IT"S NYAN CAT!
what about the ranch wagon?
3. M.S.D (not L.S.D) You get the car high enough on that stuff & it will be trippin' to the curb...lol!!
Loool nyan cat. how lovely.
Do you think it’s a good first car or no because of the handling
Sure, it's good.
i'd would build a street/track car me personally i love sleeper cars. Although i don't know if you could consider a 73 mustang with a 302 a sleeper but to each his own.if it was my car id get the interior ie carpet,headliner,door panels,etc also i love the look of aluminum, Beef up the motor maybe new intake,carb,cam,maybe head work and a bitchen exhaust, depending on the stock axle ratio maybe new gears and a welded diff,locker,posi whatever works, and id get rid of all that mach 1 decals and stupid spoiler and either do a simple and cheap but still nice paint job or leave as is after decal removal and enjoy the shit out of it at the track.strip or to work and some people may not wanna drive a loud ass muscle car with no interior to work everyday but i see no problem with it i ride a bike with a straight pipe exhaust every day and would love to have a car that i just shitely described
Well he's going to add a Wiend 174 roots style supercharger. looking to make around 450HP,on pump gas.

Mach 1 clone, with pro-touring suspension. Not a full competition suspension just some cheap, easy bolt on stuff.
Some good disc brakes all around, you don't need performance brakes on a daily driver and you don't want hard competition suspension.
Nyan cat? hehe, it's a silly song with a silly image of that cat flying through space.
Hope to see videos of the project as it begins and goes on, it's what might inspire me to get my own ass in gear and get my Buick up and running again :P
