Here's our '67 Convertible too just for good measure...don't have pics of the '73 yet, but it's a work in progress anyway (then again, aren't they all?)

Ah, your '67 is a magnificent peice of work. A very nice car to drive on Route 66. BTW, do you have the orignal wheels for the coupe b/c those look like the before-newest model of the Mustang GT.

Thanks for the kind words!

Nah, the original steelies went by the wayside on that one a long time ago, before I even bought it. It used to be a straight-6 coupe, so it had the cheap steel wheels that aren't worth anything today anyway. You're close, those are the Mach 1 wheels I have on there now. I have made no effort to go original on the '68, since it was already pretty extensively modified when I bought it. Rather, I focused on making it practical as a daily driver (which it is).

What do you have in it now, 289? I can't tell by the picture, is it auto?

Nice wheels, updates the car in a nice way.

Thanks! Currently has a lightly modified 306 (.030 over 302) out of a '77 Ford Granada, and a C4 automatic. I'm saving up to build a ~430hp 351W though, I'll back it up with a 5-speed, and hopefully then I'll have room to put in a bench seat :).

NIce cars dude!! The wheels on your 68 don't do it justice though, but if you like em' that's cool. Is the 351W planned for the 68 or the 67?

[jcp123]

The 351 will go in the '68. We're selling the '67 to cover my college, and it doesn't really have the chassis for that kind of power anyway. It's strictly a cruiser.

As to the wheels...only thing I'd change is give them more of a deep dish look. Other than that, they had the effect I wanted, which was to put more rubber on the ground (which was the most important consideration to me) and slightly modernize the looks of the car. Not to mention they were cheap, $600 for the set, brand new and in the box, compared with $1000 for pertty much anyone else's 17x8's. Even has the Pony on them already.
