New Mustang project

[Hector]

Just don't go too big on the wheels...you don't want a Ghetto Mobile.

[Hector]

But 16" or under. I like the old school look, a lot of rubber around the rim.

I do too...I have 15s all around on mine...the tires a bigger and fatter on the back though...but the wheels are all the same size.

Ehem...again...what color scheme do you have in mind for your ride?

lol sorry hector, Pretty much like the color on the one I posted. Royal Maroon. No black hood though, Just a gloss black scoop. Front spoiler, probably no rear spoiler, as to me they only look good with the loovers and I don't want loovers.

Oh and all black interior.

Here are all the original colors this model came in with pictures of cars with that paint, that peeps sent in.

I usually always go with 17's but 18's look pretty darn sweet as well with those low profiles

I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished, as well!

On a side note; all of those classic cars shows on HD TV can become really addictive.

Keeping the suspension stock? What tranny/gear you going to run?

Suspension is going to remain stock. The tranny is a 4 speed top loader, I'm thinkin 3.50 gears possibly higher, but I don't want to run like a garbage truck on the highway. lol

I like lots of tire rubber...and high on the back...old school.

Thanks my good man.

There is nothing like those old mustangs -- love them!

The '69 Sportroofs are some of my favorite cars. You'll have a real beauty when you're done. I've got a '67 coupe that I've started to restore but I'm also working on a '74 Torino. I'm thinking that I need to just focus on one, get it to "slick daily driver" status and move on to the other one.

Now the only question is which one do I start with?

Just updating this thread for those who are interested. Since the last post this is what has gone on.

Bought:
New rebuilt 4 speed top loader tranny.
Rebuilt aand painted 9" rear end with 350 gear
Bought rebuilt holley double pumper 750 milled and shaved (no choke)
New front disk power brake conversion i'e cut and new drilled rotors, power booster etc.
New center force clutch and pressure plate. Best out there emulates a hydraulic clutch.
Resurfaced 11" 164 thooth fly wheel.
New aluminum radiator.
All interior parts purchaced
Body almost ready for engine compartment painting and behind fenders, also ready to under coat bottom.

Then off to paint.

I have changed my mind from the burgundy and am going with Grabber Orange. It was an option in 70.

The car is going to look pretty much like this one. But mine is a 69 and has the 4 headlights in the front.



New pics coming in a couple weeks.
