Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Cody and I live in Mayer, AZ. About two months or so ago I bought a 1969 mustang coupe. It has a 302 2barrel engine and for the amazing condition it's in (compared to some of the other rust buckets I saw online), I only paid $5k. As good of condition it's in, it does need some work...right now I'm working on converting the 2-barrel carb to a 4-barrel and after that, I'll be saving up for a power rack and pinion steering set to replace the old steering box system as it's really lose anyhow.

Well here's some pics and thanks for having me!!

 

 

Very nice, welcome to TMS.

 

Great car!

 

Welcome Cody, we will coming up that way to Route 66 show in Flagstaff on September 9th! Look for about 25 Mustangs coming up the hill!

 

I'll definitely look out for that! Since I live a little off of I-17. Do you have an exact location on where the show will be in flag? I'm off that Friday and might wanna go. Maybe I could bring my mustang, not sure though cause the steering is kinda loose and I don't wanna chance anything happening going that far up north. What all years of mustang can be in the show?

 

Its downtown in the main square, all year cars are welcome! We are going up through Sedona and staying off 17.. Having lunch at the Fireside in Prescott!

 

Welcome fellow AZ person!

I will also be heading up the hill to flag for the show.


lol mayer is where I have to go for all my speeding ticket(well years ago)

 

Ha! Speed traps in Dewey and coming down that hill into Mayer, gets em all the time, I got lucky one day a Porche went by me and got caught just as I came over the top!

 

So are you driving up I-17 till you get to the highway 69 exit? Then taking Prescott down through Jerome, cottonwood, sedona and on up to flag?

And thanks flagstang!

 

the one that sit behind the bush on i17 is my foe! nice cop.. Ive slowed down a little in my old age(im 27).

 

Nope, coming up through Wickenburg over Yarnell Hill then into prescott, wanted to go to Jerome but maybe next time!

 

Yup. I have seen him too many times!

 

Ok just some updates...

I was having a problem with my battery going dead so I got the alternator checked and its in great shape. Found out the voltage regulator was bad so while replacing that, I replaced the battery too just to have a new one.

I also found out that there was no license plate light so I got a LED strip at auto zone and wired it up and looks great.

Last thing, bought a set of LED tail lights from CJ pony parts and got some comparison pics along with a shot of the license plate light.

Enjoy!

 

Good lookin car! Sounds like you got a good deal.

 

Nice, those LED's make a huge difference!

 

Thanks a lot! Next LED upgrade will have to be the gauges as they are so dim, you can barely read them.... But before that, I need to work on getting the new 4-barrel carb so it will start better after being hot.
