Or take the '65 or '66 grill and paint it completely black... It will look good...Check out Mike's grill on his '65... Looks good... https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/kcode.html ------------------ Don '66 Brilliant Blue Fastback 302 with 5 speed We Will Never Forget Keep The Faith America

The 66 grille painted black with each edge left natural is very attractive-as is the 66 Shelby.

Not sure yet. We are in the middle of moving, I think it may be buried over in my brother's Milkshed 20 miles away. As i remember it has a few bends, but they could probably be pushed out by hand.

Or you can get the mesh that they use on the imports. They use it on new Mustangs and it looks pretty good.
