Have ANY of you ever heard of BLACK spray paint ? SPRAY THE BILLET GRILL. A can of $2 flat black or semi gloss black will fix the problem of the billet grill. I've done more mods like this than I can remember. Works great and doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.
What can i say, I'm 48 now, married for nearly 30 years My Kid's gone off to the Marines, and the wife's asleep. Yea i still get time to do other stuff, just not as much as I'd like to (money's always been a factor there, most of the time) Started playing with the 331 I pulled out of the Ranger last year. Gonna fix it and run it on my test stand in a week or so. Going to look at a Stang II tomorrow to maybe strip down and put it in. If not, I'll have the fastest, loudest test stand in the neighborhood :SNSign:
Think they're about the same as the Fox cars. I'm not sure if it is one, the woman I talked to said it had a straight six. The Stanf Redbook doesn't list the II's with those, V6 only. I questioned her about it, but she was adamant about the straight six. I'll find out today when I go look at it. Maybe she got the year wrong, but she listed it as a 78.
I'm pretty sure there is a difference between '65 and '66 hood latches and how they attach to the grille, making it difficult to just swap a '65 for a '66. A couple years ago I was looking at getting a billet grille for my '65, and noticed that a lot if not all that I could find at the time would only work on '66, and in researching here I found that the latch is the reason why. Can be done easy enough, just more money to buy the latch assembly.
Sold the Billet Grill to a guy named Sparky on here, haven't ordered a new one yet but I am going to get the 65 honeycomb. I do have a latch and pins........
