Hi everyone! I'm working on a 1966 mustang coupe. It's my first project car, so I know absolutely nothing about cars. I'm doing everything I can to learn as quickly as possibly, though. But now for my questions.

Will a GT-350 racing apron off of a '65 bolt right up to the front of my 1966 coupe?

Also, I've seen the GT-style front valances(same thing as a racing apron?) with two lights in the radiator opening. Do they just sell those lights to bolt onto a regular GT front valance or will I need to buy that particular valance(would it be a shelby valance maybe?)? I've attached an image of the front valance setup I want. Tell me what it is called and where I could get it. Thanks

the 65/66 valances are, indeed, interchangeable. However, they dont 'bolt right up' With the valances that you mention, you will have to remove your bumper and bumper brackets, and you will have to notch the valance or remove the hood latch bracket/rod. If you remove it, you will have to run hood pins.

Good luck.
