the tire/rim combo works out pretty well the wheels are 17's and the car handles great. well as well as a 65 mustang with manual steering can. but i never really get into situations where it needs to handle well. thats what the merkur is for. and as far as the paint goes you cannot see it in the pics but the white is pearlesant. it is a custom color that is based off of the caddy CTS white. i have a freind who works at a body shop mix it up for me. the blue is metallic and really changes shades in different light.

 

Nice Mustang and nice Merkur. My friends had a Merkur a few months back, that thing really went once the turbo spooled, I need one.

 

ah dont listen to him. those wheels look great! and the car looks awesome. As for the 80s mobile, i would spend more of your money into that beautifulstang.

 

let me know if you really want a merkur. i might be able to talk to a cople guys over on the merkur forums and see whats laying around. they are really cheap to pick up and the motor is pretty bulit proof, plus until you have driven one its really hard to understand why they are so cool. and its hard to put more money in the stang because it is already kind of done, but i think this summer i will try to do a few things. that will ultimatly turn into 4 or 5 things and will get expensive.

 

Do I spy mudflaps???? interesting

looks like a nice car you got there, it appears you've done a great job! Keep it up man

 

yea the girlfriend lives ona rock driveway so i figured why not. and it keeps the rubber off of the quarterpanel. i don't know how rubber would ever get on the there but o well

 

Very Nice and Welcome to the Forums!

 

Normally I wouldn't like those wheels on a classic, but they look great on your ride! Something bout 'em just works. I don't see why people give mud flaps such a hard time. The paint behind my rear wheels is all torn up from Texas gravel roads and has rubber splattered on it from burnouts and crap, when I repaint I'm bolting some on.

 

Well I wasn't knocking his mud flaps per say, his actually looks okay. The ones on his car are more low profile so they fit, but I've seen some real nasty lookin mudflaps on classics before and I think it is because of those examples that people give them a hard time haha.

once again, nice lookin ride topher

 

THE BLUE IS RAD. I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE THE SAME COLOR PAINT ON MY 66. IT IS A 2005 FORD PEARL BLUE. IT REALLY CHANGES IN THE LIGHT
