that console can be bought a lot of places, its called the "humphugger cruiser" just check the usual mustang places, NPD stuff like that. they are out there.

the rims are keystone classics, i kinda liked the way they almost are close to some of the other stockers from the 60's.

about that question about the back seat: thats the way the gt seats should look if they were original 2 tone. i dont know why but i did the research and thats what i found out. i ordered the whole thing as a kit. i think it does look a little off too sometimes but hey, whattya do?

Well, to each his own.. I just prefer to have the same size wheel and tires on all 4 corners. I rotate mine every few months.

Heres mine for you guys, 235-45-17 on front , 275-35-18 on the back. Rides like a dream and dosen't look out of place. The different sizes from front to back is because custom cut wheels for the front and more optoins with back space with the 17" then the 18 or they would all be 18's.

My opinion is that those wheels are too big and shiny for that car. Nice looking car for a restomod though.

I think on the 67 and up that a little bigger tire on the back looks good, but a not really a bigger rim. Looks too much like a drag car. Mine has 205-70R14's all around and It would have looked a little better with some taller ones in the rear

nice looking car.

can you post some pics from front and rear to show how those babies fill the wheel wells. maybe Soaring will do the same?
i've got 215/65/14 on the back of mine and they look fine from the side or any angle except the back. to a following car they look like cheese cutters!!! Thats why i want wider rears. What you have wouldnt suit my car, but looks great on yours.

i like the way classic muscle looks with wider tires on the back and skinnies on the front, almost like a car at the track, i think it means your usually putting down some serious ponies, it just looks badass
