Thats a nice Mustang. Good work.

It looked good before, but has cleaned up even better.

Personally, I like the Torque Thurst wheels better. I don't like modern looking wheels on classics, it just ruins them. As far as the modern wheels go, I don't think you could have made a better selection though.

when I first saw that color I didn't like it so much... but as I kept scrolling through the thread and seeing the progress it grew on me! Now I think it looks great, wonderful looking car overall. I really think those rims and stance fit the car nicely, achieves that look I think you're going for haha

do you have any better pics of the engine bay showing the supercharger? I can't see where it runs into the engine at, or is it not finished yet? Looks great though from what I can see!

You're right, the supercharger wasn't connected then ! We didnt want the airbox around the carb so we bought the carbhat. But there isnt any piping ready to fit, so we made it our self with Alluminum pipes. It isnt finished yet (stil have to weld everything and polish).

Here some pictures of it before welding:

Atleast my wife likes my 65 coupe so I can start to put some money into it slowly without any fuss!
