    Classic Mustang Stereo Install

    I know most of the comments here are about late model Mustangs. That being said I'd love for some input on head unit placement for a 1968 with a center console and factory ac. Some are mounting in the glove compartment, however, with the factory ac there doesn't seem to be enough space...

    Will this wheel have enough clearance?

    So after much debate I found a set of rims I like. I'm swapping for looks and to fit my Baer Disks I'm about to order. Problem is the shop that carries them is too far away. They offered to ship at a very reasonable cost. The rims are 17x8 with 4.25in of backspacing. These are special...
