Came across a deal i couldnt pass up and got new interior for the car. Came with seats, carpet, headliner, door panels, kick panels and a new dash. Me and Chavez66 put it all in yesterday, well i started on monday but we did the final touches yesterday. I think it came out pretty good and ive always wanted pony interior. The only issue i ran into is that when we bolted down the center console, the shifter boot kinda bunches up and i have to pull on the shifter hard to go to 1st gear(these consoles were designed with the 4 speed). Should i just change the boot? Anyways, heres some pics

UPDATE: well i got some more stuff for the interior after buying the seats and all. And took out the dash to install some blue L.E.D. dash lights. THE PICS DO NOT DO JUSTICE FOR THE DASH!! Anyways, when i was taking it out i accidentally barely hit the gas gauge and broke it. Bought a new one and the needle is at 3/4 since yesterday?? I numbered all the wires when i took out the cluster but maybe made a mistake? Faulty gauge?

Heres some more pics

This little shit is expensive

Looks good bro! You making me want an old school bad.

Trying pulling off the shifter boot and put it in first. If everything seems fine, relocate the boot a little to give you more slack when throwing it in first.

Looking good, you need to get some pony door handles now. Mustangs plus sells them for like $3 each on clearance at the swap meets.

I just leave my shifter boot unbolted. The console will keep the boot in place for the most part.

Speaking from experience... watch out for those metal pieces in the middle of those seats on hot days. They will brand the hell out of your back leaving a nice welt.

The handles are 3? I looked them up in mustangs plus and theyre 25 each. And yea as for the boot i think ill move the console a little to the left and hopefully that will work too [patriot]

Pony interior is awesome. I wish they continued it through to '68. I hate the deluxe interior for '68.

Looks great! Those pictures looked like those mexicans were trying to steal your stereo speakers or something, but they actually did a good job and it came out good. Now you can finally get some bitches in that ride now! Well after you get it painted maybe....

I've never been a fan of the 68 wood grain..... I like the brushed aluminium look of the 67 more.

Your pony interior looks great. OP [patriot]

Yea, that's why you need to hit their clearance bins at swap meets. They are usually at the goodguys shows in Pleasanton. They are "blemmished" pieces but who really cares for a car thats a driver? Remember you have to buy the handle and the backing plate for the handle too.

How are you going to move the console? It's screwed to the floor.
