Nothing in the back and a 1/4" spacer up front only to keep the inner wheel lip off the UCA at full lock.

The rear axle is a stock width from a 69 Mustang

One of the coolest, most unique, and stealthy classics I have ever seen. Great job!

Hey Big-Mac do you run into problems with the front wheels rubbing or hitting. and did you roll your fenders?

No rubbing...and the lips are rolled. Before I put the 1/4" spacers on the front rubbed on the UCA's at full lock.

Thanks. I have decided to leave off the molding...so the car will soon go back to the paint shop (Mohr Restoration) to get the holes filled...

My vote is for no. I like the clean look you have accomplished. Adding more trim pieces will only ad to tacked on look, which it looks like you are trying not to do.

I agree...I think (insert my $.02 here) that it clutters it up. Then again, I like the clean lines, and my car isnt even gonna have carpet...heh heh

That car is TOIGHT!!! TOIGHT like a TOIGER!!!!

Thanks so much for the compliments!

Any opinions on whether or not I should intall the rocker panel moulding?

On Dark paint, the more chrome the better. Nice job by the way.

BIG-MAC · Apr 5, 2007

I installed the rocker molding on the drivers side to see if I like it. What do you guys think? Should I leave it on or take it off? I also recently installed some Scat ProCar Rally seats.

That car is absolutely gorgeous. The color is stunning. It's tough that I have nice black paint with activator, seems late to change my mind but your car makes me want to!

Geese it looks good both ways, glad i dont have to make that decision. If it were my car i could go either way, On the one hand i like the look with it on, and i also like the look with it off. Either way you go, the car is amazing, I'm sure that these pictures do not do it justice. I love it.

68rustang · Apr 5, 2007

It looks good either way. The car looks more "serious" without it if that makes any sense.

mdjay · Apr 5, 2007

Well it's what matters to you that matters the most. But since you asked, I think the car looks cleaner and more hot rod without it.
