Zeb, do the grille as it is right now, ie floating. the rounded off headlite areas look good also. but, PLEASE close off the opening in the hood scoop, OK ?

Ahh Bob, tha little hole is not tha hood scoop, pics didn't show tha hood scoop correctly. Tha grille sticks out about 1/8" further than tha front of tha hood center, which I will be extending....

and filling in tha gap....

Tha hoop scoop is a modification of a 67 Vette 427 scoop that I originnally did as a drawing back in '72.

Tha Ford will eventually be a sedan, chopped 2", when done which means that I also have to shorten tha passenger cabin about 1" in tha rear side windows areas. Including tha Moonroof insert.

BTW, tha floating grille started as the grille/bumper unit from an AMT '66 Riv.

As Drew H. said in SA exE, it's just plastic until yur mind shapes it.
