The front grill area looks like a 72 mustang, might look good if you used that as a starting point.

Light smoked Lexan? (if nothing else it should go good with cheese and beer......figured I'd say it before anyone else
)

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........Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

The car is an '82, I already threw away all the plastic crap that GM had on it!!!!
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!!!!!! Originally Posted by BigTruckDriver

If the car weren't being built for resale it would have a 408 Windsor in it!!!!!

I think a 56 Ford grille would fit that rather nice and it sure would be a conversation piece.

I had the exact same thought! A 71 to 73 era mustang. It looks like a natural from here. Originally Posted by Jim Standley

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
