Nice job. I'm glad to see you're keeping the "fang" grille, instead of changing it like so many other '54's. Good luck with the rest of your project.

Rest of her.. Well... uh give me some time lol.

I love the 54 Grille. Most dont. But It makes the truck, like changing it you might as well change the year..lol

Plus with it being white and the truck being black.. it will be SWEET!

Ive got a friend who will sell me a 1966 Mustang Bench seat, white of course.. and I think it will be perfectt.

Hey Ryan

You are doing a GREAT JOB!

WRT the question above, I painted my 3 grills with the "Rustoleum Professional High Performance Enamel" and it dries SUPER HARD and doesn't chip AT ALL!

Congrats on keeping the 54 grill. I couldn't stand it so I sold mine cheap. Keep up the good work, Jag

I used some spray primer, and then Dupli-color. Its Ford paint, and the color is Pure White. I like it because its not BRIGHT white, and its not real creamy either. I think the original color was more creamy.. which I dont like lol.

Thanks Stephen, its my Dads 1970 Mustang Mach 1



Heres the Mach 1, next to a new one.
