I pulled the girl out into the sun this weekend to work on the wiring again (I HATE WIRING!!!). Anyhow, during a break I snapped this picture and thought it looked pretty cool, just wanted to share.

hehehe...you can see my youngest where the driver's seat should be, as well as the wiring hanging out the arse-end.

Must have been the weekend for owners of red 67-68 mustangs with bullets and disk brake conversions to install painless harnesses:

67's have the same wheel well as 66's correct? Those are nice what size are they? It is nice to finally see if it will look alright or not.

Click to expand...

I do not know for sure about the diameter of the wheel well's opening or not but the 65/66 DEFINITELY will not allow as wide of a wheel as the 67/68s will. Of course the wheels on my car are not the largest that will fit a 67/68, those are 17X8 factory wheels from a 2001-GT. The tires are 245/45-ZR17.

Lookup Dodgestang here in this forum, he maintains the database of wheel and tire sizes for classic Mustangs.

How much did that wiring cost, if you don´t mind me asking? Need to replace it on my car as well.

There are many variables that will affect your price. I bought one of the "universal" kits which saved a lot of money but introduced a number of issues.

I could not find the exact version I bought (I have a trunk mounted fuse box) but it was the same price at the link I posted above.

Edbert, I feel for you. Currently trying to run down a simple right rear turn signal problem and it is driving me crazy.

That is a lot of stuff hanging out from under the front - Good Luck!

I found Dodgestangs wheel and tire fitment chart last week. It's a great resource. Here's the link for those that don't have it:
