I have replaced thousands  of these air bags ....  in all the other cars .  really only ones that seem to  possibly have issues are the rangers and convert mustangs .   these 2 are always very rusty when removed .

I hear some FORD employees enjoy setting them off behind the dealerships.

yes some may but i also  reminded the co workers  them the reason they are being replaced is they killed people when they exploded...... I will be inside .  Ford also had no disposal program for returning them .

that looks like it hurt

unless the  numbers being transferred are in  pristine condition  the hardest thing is the inconsistency in 2 different  materiaial  the grain of the steel does not match /or the condition of the the 2 panels  that aged at different rates in different places .

So what ever happened to the " other bullet mustang"    \\  you know the one kevin marti blessed as being the real car ?

Who fixed it and how is more important.

When I took out two doors on my car, they wanted to use two used doors. I opted for the more expensive new doors. It is as good as new, probably better.

They like to use aftermarket "new"  doors/ wiring harnesses /headlights/ tail lights. 

had an explorer come in with wiring problem  the parts tags on the harness were written in chinese..... nothing matched .

Any used car has a history these days. with new trucks in the 80-100k $ price range there is alot of room to fix 40K worth of damage . and still make money . And carfax is a joke  because it can be fixed under the radar and never show up  on carfax. same with shelbys if it sounds too good to be true it is .
 

 2 of   tdf falcons were built at dearborn steel and tubing  then modified for road racing  at holman / they had studabaker front disc brakes . 

It would be nice if gt350shelb would post a few more pictures?

I will drag them out and shoot some more photos

Hey Phil,
  Since it's a 69 302 head, according to Bob Mannel's book, that E is just the suffix to the  whole casting number (C9OE-E). Hope this helps.

 ahh that  is  reasonable   

 any ideas what the E  in the casting stands for ? in same location where 289 / 302 would be

I haven't been this excited about January 1 updates for a long time!

Hopefully, they are better than this AI image.  🙂

Might want to  check the files there is an action shot that may be the fastback .  I bought off ebay  a few years ago .

The track is somewhat still there. 15 minutes from my house. lots of broken concrete and glass cover the crumbling pavement

grandstands were torn down last year after the kicked the squatters out with the illegal junkyard they were running out of the property .
