Are you running stock tires on yours? If the tires are a little smaller, they could look like they're set back.

Mine are basically flush with the front/back edges of the fenders. They're set back slightly from the top edge of the fender-wells. But, everything underneath is stock, including the wheels and tires, so I'm not sure what the difference would be. Are you running stock tires on yours?

I took another look, on my last smoke-break. I can see that if mine was lowered, the wheels would look more sucked into the wheel-wells. It's the overhang on the fenders. Go to your rear end, and look at how the tires line up with the edges of the fenders in front of/behind the wheels. Mine do line up pretty well there, so lowering could be the difference.

Honestly, my opinion is that I love your Idea. That's the reason I have an 07 mustang. It kinda reminded me of my old 69. If I had the money, I would transform it into a 69 look alike just like on that retro website. I have been looking at that website and drooling for over a year now. I just cant afford it. Good luck and keep us posted!

They basically take modern mustangs and make them look identical to 60's models on the outside. Very cool

On a side note, I'm not a big fan of these "retro-style" conversions, but WOW, that link to that car is incredibly well done!!!

Here is my twist on the 69+ retro look. I am looking at changing out the taillights this year. I have a set of Cervinis taillights ready to go in and I am now rethinking things and maybe put the Raxiom 2013 style in with a Street Scene rear decklid panel to fill in the area. I have a Silverhorse racing rear medallion black/silver ready to go on also.
