They didn't start that until '82. I was talking about putting one in instead of having the letters on the hood. (just want to see how it would look because I have considered doing it)

I test fit one to the front of my '79 grill, it didn't look right - I took it off. My opinion is it looks better without the emblem...but to each his own...

It is the thing that has the rinbg through it to hold the keys.
It makes for Easy Identification.

I'll see if I can find my Home made *One of a kind* Mustang key Fob and show you.

EDIT:
here it is.
The back is a small slab 1/4" thick of Elk Antler.

The Chrome Mustang logo is from the door panel of a Mustang II

How did you mount it? Do you think the emblem accents would fit?
