Wondering if you guys had any good grille ideas for the front end???

I was thinking somthing like this
Light smoked Lexan? (if nothing else it should go good with cheese and beer......figured I'd say it before anyone else :3dSMILE: )
Thanks for the photshop Matt!!! I like the idea, but would of course have to recreate the look in aluminum or stainless---I hate plastic!
Jim and Bone---Yeah, I was thinkin' a Ford front too....Had kind of a Torino look in mind.... but maybe a combination of all three Ford ideas would work????
Mike--- That was my first plan...a pair of smoked lexan covers from the outside into the grille opening, then all black anodized stainless mesh grille........
Id say 80's maro. Chevy , ford 2 different things you should not be able to mix Chevy and ford.:confused::eek:Quote:

Yeah???? Well, I tell you what..... You get all the guys to quit putting chebbie engines in everything and I won't put a grille in my 'maro that may or may not resemble something that was once in a Ford!!!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL: If the car weren't being built for resale it would have a 408 Windsor in it!!!!!Quote:

I had the exact same thought! A 71 to 73 era mustang. It looks like a natural from here.Quote:

Yeah!!! I'm thinking along those lines, Matt... I don't like the big fugly directional lights, but I do like that mesh blacked out grille look!!!!! It's probably going to end up being someplace along those lines.... Looking at it again today, might just build a mesh grille the size I want, and just let everything else fall in where it fits right....
Something Torino Dave say early 70's would look good
If I ever get all the clutter out of the garage so i can get a decent side and rear 3/4 shot, the back window and roof line is kind of a cross between Torino and AMX..... the rear is still all Mustang, but that might have to change to something a bit more GM....Quote:
