Neil,


Here is the grill that I have. Sorry it took so long to get it out of my attic.

Spent the last couple days reworking, repairing, lubricating all the window mechanisms. They're all happy now.
BUT: The rear quarter window frames are UGLY. Repos are $400+ each.:sad: Has anyone had them rechromed? If so, what's ballpark cost?
Or- anyone got decent driver quality quarter windows they can part with?
I simply cannot keep crusty chrome with a fresh paint job. (The jury's still out: Black or Sunlit Gold paint.) Either case deserves decent chrome.
Will also be checking E-Bay.

Neil:My vote: Sunlit Gold

 

[CougarCJ]

Black with gold stripes would be my choice. Didn't Tim have one painted like that?

Black with gold would be a nod to the Hertz Shelby Mustangs.

Black with red stripe and red interior is very stunning.

If she ain't black, take her back!!

If we're voting...

Black with gold stripes, Shelby wheels... and a 5-speed manual

And, if a CA car, get original or repo, circa 1968, black tags with gold lettering to match...

Also wanted to boost WHP to 300hp+, add efi and rack-and-pinion steering... but I thought maybe I was asking for a bit too much :grin:

Neil how difficult is replacing the rivets on the grill?

Do you mean the pop rivets that secure the 2 brackets?
IIRC, just drill them out and replace them with pop rivets.
Mike Jewell (Somethingspecial) can steer you onto the correct rivets.

[whodat]

Yes! I have some new rivets of the old style but don't know how to install them. I thought maybe you did them that way, until I noticed you didn't.
