Custom grill ideas Reply #15 – July 25, 2007, 12:54:22 AM Quote from: Jonathan Phillips;163257Yeah tells us about it.... :hick: But seriously this thread has kind of forced my hand. I've been discussing manufacture of this design...I wanted it to be a big suprise but still unsure of its popularity....Don't expect much I guess...Is that brass? I'm wondering how that would look with just one Cougar head. Quote Selected

Custom grill ideas Reply #20 – July 29, 2007, 02:29:13 PM Heres a grill I got when I bought my first spoiler kit back in 86 for my 5.0 bird. I bought another spare body a few years ago that had the same kit on it so I have a spare now. BTW Fila this one looks like it's for you, kinda like a big F in the middle of it. :D I had the one on my car molded in when I shaved door handles,antenna hole,gas tank door,trunk key hole and emblems. 12 function alarm opened each door,rolled up windows opened trunk,cranked engine.Check out where I moved my gas filler neck too. Under the trunk lid but outside the trunk gasket - no fumesThis is that beautiful Black Bird thats been on jackstands in my garage for 15 years now, waiting on me. Thanks to your site making me itch this project will resume when the temp's start dropping here, kinda hard to enjoy working it when it's 95° outside in the shade.Mike Quote Selected

Custom grill ideas Reply #24 – July 29, 2007, 06:34:55 PM Figured I'd finish telling you what it is also. The metal cone is a mag wheel centercap with a hole cut into the end of it. It was actually a quickie install so the pipe I added needs to be rebuilt to get it closer to the fenderwell so it can be covered . Heres new pic's of it all and a shot of the trunk before I tore the car down. Had my amp's and such in the bottom of trunk, covered by black plexiglass connected to a ford truck window motor. Open the hidden door with the equalizer on the back of it and hit the window switch and the plexi slid back under the front section which enclosed the woofers. Rear lower piece of wood had a 12V cooling fan installed to remove the amp heat.Notice the blacked out tailights using a roll of 2 sized evenly spaced pinstriping tape. From a distance they appeared black, tailights worked fine when lit. Can also be colorcoded to car. Simple, cheap and last forever if done correctly.Sorry about the pic quality, old pic's, old camera. All these things were done in 1986-1987 right after I purchased the car.Mike Quote Selected

Custom grill ideas Reply #27 – July 30, 2007, 12:34:36 AM I do like that filler spout idea. That was some good thinking outside the box. Quote Selected
Custom grill ideas Reply #28 – July 30, 2007, 12:42:45 AM Keep in mind this was all done TWENTY years ago :-) Alot of people said the car was years ahead of it's time. Not to mention the whole BOOM stereo thing was just getting started, and there were no robotic's on anything. I figure someone's gonna go off on all those wires but I guess thats how it was back then.About those stripes on the lights, I put that on in early 87 and drove the car till 93 when I disassembled it and it's been on jacks since, so that show's you it will last if you do it right.Appreciate the kind comments.
