9-18-09....ok time for an update ..removed the cowl vent and flushed out the panel ...installed power window kit this kit is awsome and works very well there is just something kool about power windows on a classic mustang ...finally came up with a plan for the power door locks and auto door opening ,i mounted the latch system in the body door jam and then blended it into the existing frame i think it almoust looks factory and after the body work it will..heres some pics...

Ok some opinions needed.... i had the chance to pick up some 20 inch wheels for the stang and before i commit to them give me your thoughts....... so i will put some before and after pics up...

Ditch the 20's, the car looks way better with some tire showing. That's my opinion, other wise your car is looking great.

X 2 I agree more tire.

X3.......ditch the 20's. Looks great with more tire.

[byndbad914]

wow, so surprised to see so many correct responses typically everyone on this board seems to think the bigger the wheels and the more rubberband the tires the better, so make the vote x4

The muscle cars look the best with 17s or 18s, but any larger just looks stupid.

Me too, no 20"s, too big in my opinion. Love this build Barry.

10-19-09 Ok finally get a chance for an update ..been working on the small details not really worth pics ..went back with the 17`s as i think it has a much tougher look and will be more drivable...hung the front sheetmetal even has a hood on it now ..just temp while gapping fenders and setting in the radiator support....started working on the side scoops i do not like the overlap look so i am flush mounting them ill show pics...also removed the 8.8 rear and ordered up a new 9 inch assembly with 31 spline axles 3.50 new posi and center section as well as willwood disc brakes, should be here in a week or so then it will be a roller again and i will roll it outside and take some pics. Thats all for now ....here are some pics
