Looks like you are a recent graduate from High School with the tassle hanging from your rear view. Welcome to our classic Mustang world. You have a really clean car.

you have to change the tags from [IMG][/IMG] to [IMG][/IMG]

for some reason this forum doesn't read the IMG tagging...it requires you to spell out the full word "image". that should fix your photobucket links.
Not so. I only use the Img for mine on this site. Every pooter is different I guess, but I only have to use the Img.

And why is that? She came with 14's. Unless you have a power reason for putting on fatter and taller tires, those 14's will get you down the road just as well as any. There is a reason why the Ford engineers decided on 14's. Are you smarter than they were?

those vents were a big decision for me. i really wanted to do something different to make it stand out. plus i think it helps offset the white a little from the side views. i know this is no traditional fastback. it has had a lot of mods in its day. (was originally just a 200 i6) i wanted to make this pony my own so i restored it the way i like it, reguardless of what the judges will say.

oh no, all do respect to the ford guys. i just like the way the stang would sit with a little bigger tires on back then on the front. i just think it would look better thats all, personal opinion

I wasn't bashing you...its definitely unique, just not something that I would have done. The car overall is a clean *** ride and you and your pops did a nice job. That is one clean engine compartment too. Car should be a reflection of you own taste, thats what makes them unique (and thats also why some of us choose to put bigger rims on them than ford intended soaring)
