Did you ever get this project finished? I want to do the Shelby mod to my '69 coupe and I'm curious how yours turned out. If so would you post some pictures of it?

I'm running 17's with 245/45's up front. My fenders are rolled and I'm running 1" lowering springs (620's), Bilstien shocks, shelby drop, roller perches and a new 1" sway bar. I'm running a 351 Cleveland which is close to the weight of a big block. I really cannot comment on the ride quality as I haven't had it on the road yet. To me the front end seem soft, but again I won't know how it handles and rides till spring.

Now that I see an 18 Magnum, I have to say I like it....

I don't think I would go bigger than a 16" on a Magnum. Personally I think that is even too big.

My car came with 245/60/14's up front on 7" wide rims. I never drove it that way as I pulled the wheels off. The previous owner did have the fenders rolled.

I've got 17" Foose wheels. 245/45 up front with 255/45 in the back.

Looks good, the engine isn't as tight a fit as I would have thought

I have no idea if they are OEM or aftermarket. They were on the car when I got it. I do know that it has a ford part number sprayed on the inside of the fender but I don't know if that means anything.

Getting the front end back together. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the hood flush in the front. I see a lot of mustangs with the hood not flush and I don't like it....

I've made some good progress this past week, installed the new 1" front sway bar, and installed new sway bar links on the rear bar. Yesterday I finally got the brakes hooked up and working properly, and the new fuel line installed. So this was my first attempt to move the car under it own power. It's nice to look at it in real light vs florescent lighting, the yellow looks much better outside. The big project right now is insulating my garage. I'm finishing up that project today, then I can work on the car even when its cold out, and this winter it's been cold.....

I personally have had great luck with Napa Gold batteries. Stay away from Optimas, you will read 20 bad stories to one good story. Not worth the expense in my opinion.

Thanks!

Does anyone know the hole sizes for the door wiring? From what I can tell the door and body holes are different.

Nice restoration!

I've got a wide-ratio toploader that I just went through, ended up putting a new input shaft in it along with new front bearing and all seals and gaskets. I also have clutch pedal, z-bar and all the linkages. Basically everything you need except for the belhousing. Let me know if you're interested.
