Thanks. The big issue I have is that my car was in an accident in the front. Looks like the hood, passenger fender, grill and fog lights were all replaced. The grill is out of a 68 and the fog lights are Aris lights. Want to get some really detailed pictures of the grill area and measurements on the fog light mounts. Going to track down a set of Marchal lights for my car and want to get the mounts correct. Can anyone tell me what model number the Marchal lights were? 653? 656?

Do you have a 'Mustang Recognition Guide' book? Some good data there. New one costs $100+/-, old version cheaper (if you can find a copy).
Marchal lights are tough to find, and very pricey. The Marchal brackets are even tougher. Mike Jewell (somethingspecial) may be able to help with those.

I did read Mike's post about the brackets and bookmarked the site where to get them. Also see that I can modify the 67 grill to work. I need to pick that book up for sure. I see there is a new hard cover version. Do you know if that is the combination of the two previous books?
Yep, that's me. Needs some TLC. Lot of the parts are not original on the car. It looks like when the car was in an accident they tried to recreate the GT/CS look with whatever parts they could find. The whole grille area is a mess. Aris lights, 68 grill, two different color trim pieces below the fog lights.
