Anybody ever find a source for these letters? My son is looking for replacements for his Mark V.

Got mine in 1975 with a cardboard template as to where to mount them on the door

Tony - The Mustang computer has to relearn which takes about 5 miles of driving. I trickle charge my Mustang periodically to avoid the relearning process

Added a battery disconnect yesterday just to play it safe while in storage:

Very nice. Good luck and Happy New Year!

Hi John! How are you? If it’s any help, I can tell you where the top end goes to:

I have seen numerous pictures of Mark V’s catching on fire while sitting in the storage due to aged or defective six way power seat switches. These switches appear to be identical to the ones in my 1973 Lincoln coupe. The ones on the 1977 and newer Lincoln’s appear to be redesigned. I was wondering ...

The caps, yes. I didn’t like his big sticker with a black background behind the word motorcraft so I had separate Motorcraft letters made up, which I think look much better.

I had individual Motorcraft letters made up for my Interstate battery and replaced those (2) three ganged cell covers with individual Motorcraft caps. I think it looks terrific!

Nice work, Jon! That reminds me, I should get started on my own right-front door, taking it apart to prepare for a bigger project. That will be to remove the lower hinge and see what I can do to permanently set the pivot pin that keeps worming its way up and out when I use that door. That in itself...
