So I finally retired a few weeks ago. I'm adjusting to a different life style, and enjoying my freedom. The car is tucked away and can't wait to get working on it. I have a ton of crap to catch up on in the house and garage so I will be busy. I was able to find a nice set of early 70's Goodyear polyglas GT tires for the rims I purchased last year. Now I know they are not correct for 69 because they have the F 60 15 showing, but it is the right size and my car is not a real H/O so I'm ok with that. The tires came off a 69 Boss 429 Mustang and no the rims didn't come with the tires.
Great progress Tom! Looking forward to the final outcome! I have a deep passion for the 68 and 69 H/O's. Would love to have a 68... Although I would be doing exactly what you're doing- finding a clean body and just go from there...
