Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)
Your stang looks great! On the front of my stang I put cragars, but the wrong back spacing and my wheels touch the fenders on swells and bumps in the road, not bad, but I watch down the roads to avoid the scrapping sound! I think the correct backspacing in the the fronts is 4.25"? The ones I have now are 3.25", amazing what 1 inch will do!
 . I'm always looking for my next set of wheels . As for the cowl, it'd be nice to have one of those inspection cameras to look into the unknown and see what lurks below. Dne'

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)
For 7" wheels up front 4.25 is the recommended BS. 4.75 for 8" wheels. I have 17x7 w/4.25 on the fronts and 17x8 w/4.75 in the back and I STILL had to roll the fenders (they juuuuuuuust barely touched). Mostly because of my tire choice. I went with 215/50/17 front and 245/45/17 rear. Had I gone with a 205/50 and 235/45 I probably wouldn't have had any issues.
Although... I though the 67+ cars had "more room" than the 65/66's?

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww, you had a Cobalt
 As much as I love GM's new stuff... you wouldn't have gotten me into one of those  Is that going to get stuffed into the Mustang?

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)
A fiberglassing ill go a fiberglassing i ill go...lol forming the double din console peace. Ignore the test fit as the double din is wider then a normal one since its the stock piece out of my cobalt. The form is mostly where, Ill actually make a side connector piece as well but i did the intial form and then the connecting piece to the miata console. Now it dries and i can start fiberglassing over the shell.

Re: 1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)
Figured out my choke isnt working right....It stays barely open. Never disengages..and runs my idle high .I think the electronic choke might be broke. I manually opened it up and the car died lol. Turned up the idle screw and it was fine. BLAH!!!!!!!! Damn you choke It was a great day for a short drive though
