So your car originally had that area painted black? That’s interesting. The yellow mach1 I did was an original paint 43,000 mile car. I wonder why they would paint some cars in that area but not others. Any ideas?
On the original 71 I restored, there was no paint in that area.
But if you’re not worried about originality, it would help hide the color underneath cap.
I just don’t care for the 73’s. Big bumpers. And the lights in the grille being vertical, I don’t care for. I know they are virtually the same but I’m a 71 guy. Lol.
I would tackle that challenge! The repop parts are getting better. And with a frame table it wouldn’t be horrible.
I cut front clip off a 66 few years ago.
