anyone looked at putting one of these in a classic Stang (esp 67-68)? It looks like it could be a pretty easy mod. Mike

It shouldn't be too hard to do, but as an owner of a SN197-GT let me tell you this...the grills are fugly if you are closer than 15 feet. The lights are the only cool part, the 67/68 grills are much nicer.

thanks Edbert. Looks like we have similar taste in cars..... I dig the 05 grill, though they are changing it to smaller fog lights and a new lower grill for 06. I would be happy with the outboard light Shelby grill on my 67, but can't find out what needs to change to get it to work.

I looked very seriously at doing the full 67 Shelby nose on my car. Total price for parts alone was over $2,500.00. The best looking Mustang nose ever, but it don't come cheap

That should be a piece of cake. There's loads of room behind the grille to put brackets to mount a pair of aftermarket spot lamps, then all you've got to do is cut the holes in the grille in the right place...

take the 2005 grille and add a billet insert to it, then it would be hot....
