Thanks

Yeah, I think the same thing about the wheels. If I was going to go bigger it would only be to a 16, but I think the 15 is the right size for the car.

Those are the original hood springs and they are rusted some.

The passenger side hinge is screwed up.

I have new hinges and springs on order right now.

Yeah it does almost change color with different lighting. I love caspian blue as well. At night people often think it is black. Also in the sunlight the edges of the body panels lighten up since the paint is metallic. I love that. In the orange parking lot lights it almost looks purpleish.

Thanks, I like the stance too. It actually has about 2 degrees of rake to it. Thats partly due the the fact the the rear tires are larger than the front.

Thanks, I like your Mach I too. That color looks great on it. I don't think I have seen another Mach that color.

Thanks Robs!

I love 65-68 Mustangs. I also love 69-70 Mach 1 and Boss etc.

What are boom tubes, are they glasspacks or laker pipes?

I love all Stangs.. even the dark years of the II.... Very special place for 64-1/2 to 66... My fav will always be the 69 Mach I... Nothing else can be so beautiful carved outta steel... However, I will also admit the 06 GT is twice the car of the 69.... It's a 100% homerun... Ford did it right.... Boomtubes are basically axle back glass packs. Sound is raw and awesome.
