1973 Ford Mustang RestoMod Build FIRST HARDCORE ROAD TEST

In this episode of the AutoEdits 1973 Ford Mustang muscle car build up, we shake down "Large Marge" around town with my super cute co- dog Pinto... then I'll take you to a local tire shop for the suspension alignment and some dial in... and from there head straight to the local canyon roads to push this car to the limits and find out what she's got.
Spoiler alert... SHE'S GOT A LOT!!!
The Total Control Products coil-over suspension combined with the rack and pinion steering setup has created an absolute razor sharp weapon on the road.

I was completely surprised by how well this car handled the rough roads near me in Southern California. Winter was really hard on the terrain and the potholes were in full effect but this car didn't care.

Plus, here's a link to the BeCool Radiator kit I installed:
The are 17x9 in front and 18x10 in the rear.

There are so many other parts to highlight and feature so stay tuned for all of the great videos to come... including road trip adventures in this thing!!!

ENJOY YOUR DRIVE!

*** I do want to make a clear point that in any of the scenes of the video that show "sporty" driving, the roads were spotted and made sure to be completely clear. I would never put my fellow motorists in danger by driving recklessly on a populated roadway and neither should you!

Not gonna lie watching you get excited and overwhelmed with joy had me smiling almost the whole video. It's so cool to see her on the road finally ripping it up. 🤘

[TommyRibs]

So happy for you Jason. This came out great. I had a 73 Mustang. The 71-73 is the most different Mustang of any Mustangs that there ever were.

This is one of the coolest ones I have ever seen.

Love it!

Wheel, tire combo, stance is right on!

Dude love your mustang videos! found this one a few days and then went back and watched your whole playlist of it. Ive got a 73 convertible with an older windsor swap and ive had the car apart and together a million times through the years lol. about five years ago i decided to buckle down and tear it down and start building it the way ive always wanted.... then had to get a shoulder surgery. long break. had a kid. long break. just got it running again 2 days ago and ready to start finding all pieces parts and get back at it! your videos have been a huge motivation to bring her back alive!

My first car was a ‘73 Mustang. Now I want another one!

[DesertJeepRat]

Great job on the Mustang. Great to see you out and enjoying it!

[alexgoodwin]

After following this for years it’s so nice to see Marge done!!!

[monroefive-o]

So glad to see guys taking these older cars and giving them new life! That car looks like loads of fun.

I’ll be the one to tell you that your editing style is similar to that of Quentin Tarantino. Lol the way you zoom in and pan the camera just a little. It’s definitely not random I can tell u really take your time editing 👌 🎥

[MustangConnection]

Jason, The stance and sound are second to none and that might be the best looking 71-3 Mustang Coupe around, nice job on this one!

It came out awesome! You're going to love the blower, it makes it a whole different animal! Incidentally, adding the 174 on my car made the exhaust about 50% louder with no other changes.

[jackwinklebock]

I absolutely love and appreciate what you’ve done with this car. It’s got a Mad Max vibe that I really like. A 71-73 Mustang is what they originally wanted for that movie.
This whip is a loud, fast, handling brut with everything you need and nothing you don’t want 👍🏼 Watching that suspension work and the camera angles were really awesome. I had to watch it twice and edit my comment. What an incredible direction you took this build. The style of this car is underrated. I like it a lot more than the fastback. Just something about the lines. and the stance that you’ve created is so much better than stock.👍🏼Thanks for sharing! 👊🏼👍🏼

Man, Marge sounds FANTASTIC!! I've been following since the beginning, or at least pretty close. I only had to go back and watch a few vids to catch up. I am ecstatic for you to see her back on the road. Good to see Pinto likes her too. Thank you for making one last check on you tube worth my while tonight.

[baptizedinblood]

I have a 2015 wrangler, watching your videos over the last yr and a half inspired me to purchase a 1973 mach 1 last Friday! Keep up the awesome videos!!

[JSmithTCF]

I came across this Playlist looking for information and real owner reviews of the TCP suspension. Its been a long time coming but I can tell by the ear to ear grin, it was worth it. Thanks for doing these videos (yes I have watched them all so far) lots of good stuff in this series.

I'm LOVING thos Pinto shots.

But seriously, I found you and subscribed for the Mustang. You are living a dream of mine. I couldn't be happier for you, that's a beautiful car.

[bowlingmatt]

Favorite part of video are the shots of Pinto enjoying the ride.
Second favorite part is seeing this beast up and running.

I've been waiting for this day! Your pain and leadership makes it so much easier for me to follow. I'm currently working on my TCP rack and pinion installation right now. Also mocking up different motor mounts, setting up for the C6(it was a C4), and I just got my Gear Vendors in last week. I am also cutting and replacing metal so the process is going slower than I would like yet it must be done. Also helping a local neighborhood kid with his 260 and my buddy resurrect his 65 K Code. Busy, busy, busy... can't wait to get to where you are now. That reminds me... I need to post some more videos on my progress as well. And I really do like those wheels! Looking forward to seeing your updates!
