85-up? defroster grilles May 05, 2005, 12:24:00 PM saw a post a while back here about birds and cats not having defroster grilles. Only some of the MarkV11 had a trim ring? is this correct? I'm thinking of making grilles for my 87 bird. If there is any interest i will make a set of molds and sell them to this group for around $20.00 a pair they will be cast in UV stable white urethane suitable for painting. If any one has any other parts they want made in either ridgid urethane or soft urethane let me know. I will make each part available to this group first at a discount before releasing to vendors.Sorry new to the fox/birds and cats. my main area of expertise and employment is the early 64-73 mustangs.thanks in advance walt Quote Selected

Re: 85-up? defroster grilles Reply #5 – May 06, 2005, 10:18:41 PM I am not sure how many they fit but the pic masterblaster posted looks like what I was refering to.I do not know if they are the same or different on the premium/tubo coupe panels.I would suspect they are the same at least 86-88 but do not know this for sure.

Re: 85-up? defroster grilles Reply #7 – May 10, 2005, 09:37:15 AM sorry guys mothers day kinda sneaked(snuke,snooked, oh well) up on me.. no i didn't forget flowers/card. just had other plans for sunday (junk yard) for some more interior peices and measurements. So i'll try and get there this week. After memomrail day weekend i won't have to work saturdays for a while so i'll have two days to get out. Pulled the door cups off my car and started cleaning them up and poured a mold base. still have to touch up the tops a little before i can pour that. I'll photo the first prototype later this week or early next and post here.walt Quote Selected
Re: 85-up? defroster grilles Reply #9 – May 10, 2005, 02:16:43 PM awsome. I think that they would have to work between 85 to 88 . at the very least, the door panels will fit. the main reason that I say this, is because I have an 88 door on my 86 cougar. I really oughta wire in the power window mirror and door locks. It will be funny because I only have the one mirror. Quote Selected
