Great minds think alike. Where did you get the pony centercaps?

John
I got mine from our very own Kevin "05stangkc"... They're recessed about 1/8" from the wheel face as opposed to being flush like the cobra cap they come with. Personally, I like the recessed look better.

Great looking car!

Where did you buy the wheels from? Any problems with the backspacing?

eBay. Paid the Buy Now price ($595 for all 4). Backspacing is 6.58, with 40mm offset, everything seems to fit fine.

I see, thanks! I was hoping it would be a store who ships to Europe too, not just US and Canada. Anyway, good to know when comparing prices.

I'm pulling it out of the garage about 5, and will take a quick shot then before a cruise-in. I should be able to post it tonight for you...

275/40R18 Eagle F1 GS-D3 all around. I worried a bit about that width up front but absolutely no problems. I've updated my signature...

John, I don't know how much you care about accuracy, but the Shaker was not available in 1969. The hood pins and louvers were dealer options that year.

I might pick up some hood pins for mine, and I already have the rear louvers...

Actually I did know that, hence the '69 tribute instead of '70. The only issue I'm having with "accuracy" is whether the TOP of the trunk was painted black along with the spoiler. I can't get a straight answer but all photos I've found suggest NOT, thus I kept mine body color. As for the louvers, I hope to pick some up next spring.
