Got the wheels on today and they are awesome. The front center caps don't clear though but they don't rub thank God. The rears BARELY clear, little bit more clearance than my finger, so glad I went with 295's instead of something bigger. Wasn't a fan of the tread at first but they really look good with the car and it also rides SOOOO much smoother. I didn't think a set of wheels/tires could make a car drive that much better. It looks so much better in person too, idk why but it just doesn't show well in the pictures.
The car needs to be dropped a little bit though, have to look for some u bolts since I already have the blocks.
God this thing gets so much attention it's crazy, went to Buc-ee's and every was walking up to it. So awesome lol.

And it's about time for me to sell it 
Car drives awesome, drove it out to Pasedena fairgrounds and it rides so much better, only thing that sucks is no overdrive, I felt so bad for it going 70 mph
Friggen love this thing, looks so badass.

I'll get around to it one day lol..
Friggen raced an 06 style Mustang GT on the way home and damn near walked him. Car kept backfiring because it needs a spark plug wire but I am surprised how fast it is. Could get the jump on him down low but once I would hit the top of third the car started putting up a fit and he would catch up. With a wire and a good "tune" I would have had no problem.
Not bad for the first and probably race of my life. It was just me and him so I went for it lol.

Car came out nice. As for attention i know exactly what you mean. I couldnt even drive mine around the block or stop at a light without being complimented , asked for a ride or followed home to check the 72 out

I am going to call Monday, I made a post on another website and he said figure out what's wrong and hit him up. Hopefully they will make another set.
I washed and waxed the car and took some really nice pics, I'll have them up later, a lot better than the first set.

Might get a chin spoiler pretty soon, main priority now is getting the heater going and some sort of straight exhaust going out the back. Had the windows up the other night(forgot) and started getting really sick. Just not safe.
And sorry about the pics guys but between my laptop or Internet not working I can't get them up, been posting from my phone.
Car is beautiful though, my boss even let's me park it in front of the shop haha. I am diggin the stance now too, doesn't have that stupid rake anymore.

I need a hinge. I broke the hood latch so I can't open it up and mess with it. I just don't have time, I'll try and get it done soon since for some reason that's the only thing people notice lol. As long as it drives good I am happy.
It just stands out like a sore thumb. lol

I just went outside and sat on it, good as new 
.
I already got paint and everything else for the engine bay, just need to weld the latch back up before I do it. I think I only have one chance to open the hood before the latch breaks all the way.
Considering throwing a turbo on there too for fun now that I'll have a lot of cash freed up. Thought about an LS swap but I am afraid of it falling through then I am stuck without a car.
