Mach 1 grille running horse mod

[mach1000]

Playing around in the garage last weekend. I used the running horse from a standard grille. I like it. Just need to fabricate a bracket to hold it on.

Looks great! Where did you source that sized Pony?

I like it !::thumb::

Cool. Looks good.

Thanks! It's the running horse off a broken standard 7172 grille I have.

I've got one from my old 71 sportsroof. I'm going to give it a try because I do like the look of that.

I like it too

My 72 has the standard grill also. I have seen it described as the "corral pony" grill. I guess the pony looks bigger without the corral? my car has no pony ornamentation with the red white blue bars. I believe the Boss cars also had simple chrome ponies on a black background also. Which cars in 7173 have the tri-color stripe ornaments?

I like it too!

I might just have to take the coral off as I do like the clean look.

I like it too... it does give it a cleaner look with the black background.

 

[Don65Stang]

I vote YES! as well. Looks cool like it should have been there from the factory that way.

Hello mach1000,

Larger Mustang Looks good. Question? The lights under the bumper. Are they mounted to the front license plate or by some other means? Are they a small diameter type driving light. I was looking into mounting driving lights in the grill, just like the Shelby Mustangs, and saw what you did.

Thank You

Ditched the front plate. (its setting on the floor in back in case the cops need to see it) and made a bracket to mount the driving lights. They are on a switch. They are Hella brand 6" lights.

Hello mach1000,

Nice. The Hella brand 6" lights are a good looking set of driving lights. I am looking into the best way to mount a pair. I believe there is a member who has picture of a set mount just behind the grill. The 1967 Shelby is the inspiration behind this, plus better visibility at night. Thank you for the information.

I like idea of the Coral + the running pony and the grill lights.

 

[Hemikiller]

Nah, I'll stick with the stock horse. The 73 corral on the Decor/Mach grill always looked too busy to me.

Nice combo of the two styles. As someone else mentioned, still looks stock enough to fool the uninitiated, but to the rest of us, it has that slightly custom touch!
