I have figured out the appearance direction I want to go with my GT. My question is whether my Baby would look good with the flat black-painted hood. Opinions?

And, if so, would painting the hood flat black be considered a DIY project?

The grille can be done with some flexchrome, which is the same material I used for that effect in the 05 grille in my sig. If I remember correctly, it cost me about $20 in chrome, and maybe 20-30 minutes of my time. Then you have enough flexchrome left over to do it again if/when it peels.

They basically take modern mustangs and make them look identical to 60's models on the outside. Very cool

Don't paint the whole hood. Save some money and do vinyl.

No, the plan was just to paint the cowl area of the hood. I considered vinyl, but it would look like hell with just a couple of rock-chips in it, and would need replaced. Still, I may do vinyl just to see if I like the look enough, then paint it anyway.

My original 69 had a satin black hood. not flat black

That's a good chunk of info to have. I would have used those terms interchangeably, but there is a difference. Thank you!!

Since you had a 69, what's your opinion of my idea? Honestly, with no filter.

This is a little off topic but do you run spacers on your mustang?

Fader

No, I don't have upgraded brakes, so not needed with these wheels. Why?
