Hell yeah, women get many different pairs of shoes, no reason this one should be any different.

Four wheel disc is going to be great for you. I am going to be just front disc for now. I'd like to go posi with a slightly quicker rear end gear at some point. Maybe Ill do rear disc then. I am going to order my front discs within about a month or so.

I'd like to get some heads at some point and a mild cam. I was really lucky that my car already had a four speed added, custom exhaust, four barrel, new intake, and a Hurst Super Shifter with lockout installed when I bought it. Im just going to cruise with it as is for a few years though.

Hey Waffles, I agree about the 500s. I have Mag 500s on mine. They are my favorite classic Mustang wheel.

Lunarweasel,
If you have disc in the front don't forget you will need a proportioning valve. Mine doesn't even have a door tag. All I have is the VIN on the inner fender too. Sounds like yours came with some sweet parts.

The wheels that are on your car look good. Are they Cragar SS or something else.

Im getting a kit CSRP that I believe comes with everything except for a couple brake lines. Thanks for the heads up on the PV.

THey are generic S/S I picked up at a swap meet for $80. I didn't notice at the time that the welds between the aluminum center and the steel rim were coming undone. They are now some of the best looking "painting" wheels a car could have.

I like the look. I think they fit with the 65 styling pretty well.
