My '69 Grande coupe build (continued)

[ma67cpe]

Im thinking option c after you lower it some more. Lowering springs in the front and shelby drop would help

I agree with Option C or a '69 mach stripe in black

[UserX]

I liked them a lot, the FR500's came along for a song, so I put them on. They fit better, and the look is growing on me. It sets the car off better, I think.

I think once you get the stance perfect, and a black stripe to tie it all together, those wheels will look much better.

so far what's been done:

Paint
wheels
Vintage Venom 13' front brake kit
8.8 from a 96 Cobra w/cobra disks
new master cyl
T3550 swap with clutch cable conversion
Fox flywheel rebalanced to 28oz
Shorty headers and flowmasters
carpet
dash
springs shocks and front sway bar, blocks in the rear
tunnel mounted ebrake handle

doesnt seem like enough when I think Ive had this car since December of 08.

Option C.

[homealone]

yeah, they offer Grande/Mach interior kits, but they are the simulated weave shit.

I see. If you go with the Fox seats you ought to add in the bolsters like the TMI kits. I have highbacks in the fastback and plan to do that to them.

[Baron Von Crowder]

I need some help deciding on the stripe to order for the sides.

Option A, the '70 Grabber "c" stripe


Option B the '70 Grabber Boss style strip (has 302 at the top)


Or Option C the 69 Gt stripe

Making me miss my grande you bastard!

Looks bad ass man! I will say, I think they Bullets fit the style of the car better and look nicer on it. Nice work!

You can't??? Looking good though.

I wish I was motivated to work on mine.

I found out that I cant get a Grande interior kit.

I found out that I cant get a Grande interior kit, it would have to be custom made, and I dont care that much, plus the seats dont recline. I picked up a pair of nice black tweed sport seats from a 90's coupe, and will have the back matched at the upholstery shop.

The latest addition; a set of 18'' black FR500's. The car is incredibly dusty, but I had to snap a picture:


Two things became brutally clear, one is that it needs to be a *lot* lower, especially in the front, and I need some kind of stripe to take away the blandness that it has on the sides.

[Baron Von Crowder]

Got some work done inside, too.

Thanks to Mike (ma67cpe) for getting me motivated to leave the race cars alone for a few hours and make some progress. We got the tunnel mounted ebrake handle installed, and the new dash and carpet in.
