WHEELS, BRAKES
& REAREND PICTURES
1969 Ford
Mustang Convertible
Wanted to set the car
apart from the norm here. Custom ordered Boyd
Coddington billet wheels in 18 x 9 and 18 x 8 inch with
custom offset to get all the tire inside the fender well.
This car has really big tires with absolutely no
modifications to the fender wells. 285/35/18 rear and
245/40/18 front Nitto Extreme tires. If you take a
look at the pictures, you will see that it isn't that
noticeable at first that it has 18" wheels on it. By
putting the 13" brakes inside, it gives an illusion that the
wheels aren't that large. Overall, it has a fantastic
look.
Clicking on the images below
will enlarge the shots



Front tire and wheel. 18
x 8.5" wheel with 245/40/18 tire. Baer 14" Rotors
with 6 piston calipers.


Rear tire and wheel. 18
x 9" wheel with 285/35/18 tire. Baer 13" Rotors .

Nitto tires.
Pictures
below are of the brake installation on the rear of the
Mustang. Some pictures with flash, some without.
Lot's of different angles. All in all, it isn't too
tough of a job with the Baer Kit. Rear brake calipers
are PBR and the same as what comes on the 1988 Corvette so
pads and parts are easy to come by. Thanks for Hal and
Dutch at Baer brakes for their guidance and support of the
installation. It isn't that hard of an operation once
you start to tackle it. The 3rd member in the car is a
4-pinion Trac-lok with 3.50 Richmond gears built by Rusty
Bayh. The car exhibited quite a bit of axle wrap due
to the high torque output of the engine and also was bad
about wheel hop. Built a plate to mount to the bottom
of the car and then a rubber snubber on top of the pinion
shield which limits the amount of axle wrap seems to help
the problem substantially. Shocks are gas Edelbrock.........a
vast improvement over the KYB's that were on it.
