Anyone give me some advice on what size wheels would be good for the V6 and a good vinyl stripe kit to buy? Anybody got any experience with any vendors (baltimore street, etc...)?

Thanx in advance
Frank

Baltimore Street Mods is good. I've seen two cars done with their kits, and both look great! Tony (sixtysix) and Daryl (dmon2000) used them. I got mine done at a local graphics place.

For the wheels I bought silver Bullit ones from the Ford Racing catalog and put Nitto tires on them. Made a huge difference in looks, ride and handling. Good luck in your choices!

I saw that site as well and considered getting the kit, but having never done this before was scared that I'd screw up one piece and have to order another kit for just one piece. I Think I'm gonna pay to have a pro do mine.

On the other question I'm planning on going with the Black Bullitt wheels (to go with the black stripes I'm planning on doing.)

From what I've heard about the kit, it is pretty easy to do. You have a lot of time to play with it to get it just right.

Water and the solution you mix up is your friend. Keep em wet and you can fiddle with them for hours before doing the final squeegie. It's not that bad, if I can do it, anybody can

If anyone on any forum messes up a piece, BaltimoreStreetMods.com will send you another piece. You do not need to buy a whole kit. We always take care of the forum peeps, being forum peeps purselves
