It actually just got repainted again... Some asshole backed into it, making it the fifth time it has been rear ended and suffering only minmal damage. The rear end on that car has totaled a Daewoo Leganza while only needed to be repainted on it's fourth rear end collision. :)

Also, the clear coat was slightly peeling, so MAACO redid the whole thing and put a silver stripe on it, kind of like 50tbrd88's. My stripe is a little darker than yours, so we are pretty close lol.

Thanks for the compliments.

Here are the fabulous wheels on my two Tbirds... Ugly polycast 14" road wheels in my former 1985 for the win! :hick::rollin:

I really wish I could find the metric tires at a reasonable price because I like the original TRX wheels so much.

I am seriously rethinking the whole 1980-82 wheelcover thing. I really want at least good set of Mustang GT turbines or better yet some 4-lug Cobra wheels like Vinnie's...

my vote is for the 94-95 cobra's like chuck has....they are simple
and no mustang logo, but i would paint car color in the windows
leaving the satin/clearcoat highlights for contrast...little
maintenance abd still dressy...i have 4 people who repair, paint and
polish if you want some tips

Those black/machined wheels are "riken" mesh built by the
same company that built enkei - when michelin bought riken
some years ago they elected not to have wheels built any
more so they were discontinued....back in those days i was
the west coast distributor - tire baron

I am amazed at the amount of wheels guys spend their hard earned
money for (some ugly some cool but its a matter of taste)that would
let some one put wheel weights on the outside of their wheels because some tire flunkie says thats the only way they can get a good balance. there are some very cool rides in this group that are
true works of art but then it stops when it comes to the wheels.
Tip: when painting wheels, rattle can or otherwise, do not paint
the lug seats. when the paint shrinks it will alter the torque of the
lugs. if you want to strip/clean before painting, take them to your local machine shop and have them hot tanked/

Actually, in my case I requested they balance the wheels utilizing weights on the outside if needed. Weights on both sides does give a better dynamic balance, and thus less vibration at higher speeds.
