new member with 70 fastback

B- what 17s are you running? I've got 15" Welds right now but want to change to 17s. A trade maybe?

I also like the larger wheels on the 69/70s but I'm leaning towards the 17s because the are not as expensive and I will have an easier time getting them under my fenders without rubbing, I hope.



i've got 17" e'brock 454's on it and i got those for the car because i thought it would help the resale value a bit when i get ready to list it, since most people are looking to put 17's or bigger on their cars these days. i already have a set of 15" Riken mesh wheel for the cougar and the only other wheels i'd put on it will be either be stock 5 spoke Cougar styled steel wheels, preferably 15" or a set of 12 slot GT wheels in 15". i even have a set of stock 14" GT wheels that are correct for the stang that i'll have new 15" hoops put on if the stang's next owner doesn't want them. i haven't decided yet whether or not to include them with the car or offer them seperately or to give the buyer a choice of which ones they'd rather have, however it works out, though, if they don't want them i'll be having the centers put in the 15" hoops if they do want them then i'll probably buy another set in 15" for the cougar.
 
A few update pics, hydraulics are done and bled, Interior is starting to go together, front end parts painted and installed (silver trim around grill has been painted and cleared with satin clear). Carbon fiber tailamp panel is done, it still needs to be cleared though. I've also started wiring with Autowire harness. Anyway, holidays and a new shop have limited some of the progress but its getting there!

You do very nice work. It looks like you pay alot of attention to the details and that is where it counts. Keep postings pics... you give me the desire to go out and work on mine.

I like the satin finish on the trim! I'd love to see a straight on shot of your front grill trim if possible. I'm trying to improve mine and am undecided as to exactly what I want to do. Seeing how nice yours looks definitely helps.
