Talking about the rims that came stock on 03/04 Mach 1 models, anyone have a pic with them on a 67 or 68 and what kind of trouble involved in getting them on? A coworker may sell me their 67 fastback which I have a pic in my mind of Legend Lime paint, these rims, and a late model Cobra engine...
Yes you can get the rims to fit. This company makes a nice kit. http://www.vintagevenom.com/mustang-full-disc-brake-conversion-kit.htm The Cobra engine can fit but takes alot of work, most use a Mustang II style front end setup to get it to fit. This requires removing the existing shock towers. Good luck on whichever way you decide to go with it.
not a big deal, really.... you are going to need spacers, as the late model cars take a different backspacing.
Sure seems easy...but in the end I'll probably have to get a different readend in there...disc brakes, different suspension, hopefully not flare the fenders any (those retro magnums have a stock 245 tire)...wish I had some money! Thanks for the input
I had them on my '68. At the time I LOVED the look, but as time has passed, I'm not as hot on them anymore. I don't think they have enough of a "deep dish" look to them for a classic car...look at some pics in my rather rudimentary garage gallery I've set up tonight. Anyway, here's the setup I had: 620 front coils Mustangs Plus 4.5 leaft mid-eye rear leafs KYB Gas-A-Just shocks up front, cheapo adjustible air shocks out back (not a huge fan of air shocks, but they came with the car and worked, so they stayed) (if I recall correctly) 1.25" spacers Contenental ContiExtreme Contact 245/45ZR17 meats Never had any rubbing nor did the wide tires take a toll on my steering system. The added traction from the bigger tires more than made up for the added unsprung weight as far as braking goes.
