did you see what that guy in idaho did on his with the 442 bumper? i'm planning to do that on my step bros ranch whenever i get to working on it
at first i wasn't " feeling it" on those wheels... but the more i look at your car i like them the black goes good with the blacked out trim |

No I didn't see that, you will have to send me a link. To be perfectly honest with you, the wheels didn't "grab" me at first. I was actually looking for a deal on some 15" 500s for the front because of the limitations of the 14s, when I came across these. 2018 mustang GT wheels. The guy was asking $200 OBO so I offered $175 and he took it LOL👍 tires, center caps lugnuts and all. I figured for that price it was well worth a try. I purchased some spacers and for under $300 I have a new look. The story goes that he ordered the car with solid black ones (black car) and couldn't stand that when it came in it had the polished accents. After 1200 miles he had replaced them with aftermarket black 20s. He figured he would hold on to them for when he traded the car off, but then totaled the car, messing up the aftermarket wheels. He then figured they were not doing him any good so he sent them down the line. My gain! For the price, a factory wheel is better than a equally priced aftermarket. Our buddy Joe L. liked them right off and suggested that I give them a chance. Now I like them better than the 500s

Thanks...it seems I remember that now, but only when he first started working it. I don't remember seeing it finished. I like it, has a skylark look to it. I always liked the look of my mid 70s Torinos though, just didn't like the impact bumper. Should look great on a Ranchero.

Great work, thanks for sharing the updated photos. The seats came out really nice and the upholstery matches the rear seat really nicely.
As for the photos being sideways, that happens every now and then with cell phone or tablet photos. The forum software doesn't recognize the rotation of the photo sometimes. To fix it you need to rotate the photo with a computer (ie paint, Photoshop) and re-upload.
