beautiful picture, remember always meant to be driven

what size tires did you go with?
205 60R 15 front 215 60R 15 rear.  Seems to work best. No clearance issues in the front.

I have a red Hertz and I did my own color breakdown.  It was time consuming but it can be done.  I was bored one evening as you can infer.  I posted this on the forum a while back but here it is again as extracted from the latest Registry for 1966.  Good luck and take good notes.  I did.

What did you do to my legs? Looks like a hover car. The next Back to the Future should be a Shelby Mustang.

this is what you need for the "final touch" to your cockpit

Hurst has different variants of their boot
Actually the first iteration you sent looks great! My car is day two and has been since she came under my custody, care and control so I ain't winnin' any concours events.

On second thought that design is prone to tearing.  I am liking Tomdeg's innovation as the better way to go.

Back on the ground. I double checked their torque work with my own torque wrench. 85 foot pounds was their setting and mine. No issues. But always good to check.
I would like to thank all of you for your input. I not that BF Goodrich has cleverly put their script in black on the dark side of the tire to allow for a switch that looks as if the tire was designed to be a blackwall.

Looks like you have a Hurst shifter.  The stock Mustang shifter boot may conform to the Hurst shape so you can use the stock shifter bezel, but not sure.  If you do convert to a stock boot and bezel, you will probably end up with the existing boot holes visible.  That is unless you change the carpet.
I never cut the carpet. I put the screws through the carpeting so there may be enough carpet for the bezel to cover it.

How about

One side out

One side in

Since you can’t see both sides at the same time I think it’s a win !

Just trying to help

Let me know if you have anymore difficult questions

I am too neurotic to try that. I want consistency (which of course is the hobgoblin of small minds but so be it.)

Yes agreed.

That is crazy. Sign of the times. Me I would go for a 2012, 2013 or 2014 Boss 302S or R car and bank the rest of the money.
