Help me with my design
 
Okay everyone,
I just added the front clip from a 6-cylinder mustang to my GT I removed all the original badges and put some from the 1967 GT on there. I lowered it an 1 1/2 an added 20" rims the old school SS Style. But now I am stuck I need a hood design and spoiler design to blend it together. But I want to keep the vintage theme. Help me out where can I get a hood or scoop and the spoiler.

If those wheels were 18's I'd seriously think about getting them. How'd you manage to get the V6 grille to work? I've always heard it's to small for the GT opening.

As for rear spoiler, go with the GT500 spoiler, and for the hood go with

This hood matches the GT500 hood from 1968. Yes, you're badged with 66 badges and wheels, but I think this is the best looking hood out there for a retro feel.

You will also probably want to go with Silver Horse Racing side window louvers.

For hoods I'd vote for a shaker.. http://www.classicdesignconcepts.com...splay/634.html

Other than that, a mild cowl hood like http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS

Also, what tires are those? I know Nitto has redline tires in 18s, I have them, but I wasn't aware there were 20s in Redlines.

Splice the wiring clips from the GT light and rewire them then the grille just slides right in. I think they have these wheels in 17" but I don't know about 18"

ORIGINAL: SonicBlue05GT

ermm... ok.
I was thinking the same thing. Why would you want to make your GT look like a V6?

The GT fog lights are way larger than what was offered on the 65 GT that he is modelling his car after. So in order to complete the theme correctly he has gone with the same style GT wheels and grille that would have been offered on the 65 GT.

I had Falcon custom makethe tiresfor me. It wasn't cheap but man it makes a huge difference in the look.

Yeah didn't you leave this car parked in front of my work at Citrus this past weekend. If you're going for the classic look as you say go with the Shaker hood.
