If the wheels are the same weight I'd run 1 set on the passenger side and one set on the drivers side, you can't ever see both sides of the car at the same time without a mirror. By the way I love how you have the hood hinges and cups black, it's subtle attention to detail like those that make an engine bay look great.

Wow! Awesome workmanship!
As for wheels, I'd choose A if those were the only two options...but as much time and effort you're putting into that car, it deserves WAY better wheels! Why not some real BBS, CCW, or TF wheels?

Lack of funds. If the car is good enough to make it in a mustang magazine then I might get a loan for a nice set of rims.

I have a set of CCW Classics in 5x114 but they are in Supra/SC offset. Slim chance it would fit your rear especially since they're 18x11 with 295s or you could have my set for almost half of what I paid for wheels & tires ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Right now, I'm saving up for a custom DSS driveshaft. Which is like $900. Been collecting a lot of cans and eating in with cup-a-noodle soup. Willing to do side jobs. LOL

Such a bad ass car! Awesome work man. BTW I like "A" wheels better. Spokes look much nicer/cleaner. Flat black looks more aggressive, but u can get that with plastidip.

When ur car is done bring it to Apex Race Parts & get the perfect wheel/tire combo fitted on there. Much cheaper than the TF, CCW stuff, but still very nice wheels.

Well what I'm doing right now isn't all that exciting to post. Done modified the tank and the vapor lines associated with the fuel tank and filler neck. So tank is installed. Straightened out all the 2013 brake lines so to make it easy to bend them where I need them bent for the Foxbody. So the ABS module and all the brake lines are done except for the one that goes to the passenger front brakes.
This weekend I hope to have the brake lines done and the rearend installed so I can do final measurements and get the drive shaft built.
Fuel and vapor lines from the engine will be done next week probably, along with the battery relocation to the trunk. Then it's back to trimming wires for the back half.

I usually like It quiet, but when I do listen to anything, it's KNBR 680 sports talk radio.
But personally, I feel like I've been slacking a bit. Long hours at work and cold weather makes it hard to wake up early to get a good start.

I have to be listening to music it gets me in the zone. I feel you on the slacking, I'm up at 3 am every morning so when I get off work I don't feel like working on my car especially with it being cold.

Was gonna wait until my Optima battery charger came in so I can take pics with the LED lights on. Yes, the Optima battery I pulled from storage is in need of a charge and some maintenance, and all bulbs have been switched to LEDs. Reason switching to LEDs, because the 2013 headlights and taillights were LED. And since I'm using the wire harnesses from a 2013 the wire size was based on LED amperage loads. The incandescent bulbs would have drawn too much current.
The taillight wiring was a little tricky since the turn signal and brake lights light up the same group of LEDs, and the Foxbody is not like that. There's a module in the back that controls the type of light sequence, and it gets an input from the brake pedal position switch (BPP). I plan to detach the BPP from the module and use it only for the brake lights and 3rd brake light. Then wire the turn signal to the inner turn/stop light wire. The inner because on the 2013 the turn signals were sequential and electronically fired. So to keep the same flash cycle I'm using the inner turn/stop light. And since I've disconnected the BPP input to the module. The turn/stop light will only fire as a turn signal, and never for brakes.
Hope I didn't lose anyone on that explanation.
Things left to do:
-Waiting on the driveshaft. Been ordered about 2 weeks ago. Any moment.
-Top off fluids. i.e. Brake fluids, super unleaded gasoline, and antifreeze.
-Charge the AC system
-Retorque all suspension bolts
-Install the H-pipe and cat-backs.
-Paint the interior quarter trim.
-Modify foxbody door panels.
-Install the front and rear glass.
-Get ready for Knotts.

The AC lines were shortened by about 1 1/2" width wise.

Finished installing the headliner, dome light and overhead console. So amazed that the 2013 overhead console fit as good as it did. Also trimmed the rear deck cover for the 3rd brake light.
