I bought an aftermarket package tray and the fitment of it with the rest of the interior was horrible. i decided to make my own interior trim pieces and wrapped them with vinyl instead of the plastic like the original ones. i redid the "hockey sticks" and made a filler piece that goes between the rear seat and the quarter panel. they came out pretty good but i put foam on them to add padding and it doesnt really match the rest of the interior pieces so i think i will take them apart and remove the foam.

before

trimming and marking off the fiberboard to make the new ones

drivers side done. even though it looks like its not straight at the top it definitely is, that is the padding that makes it look like the top is not cut straight.

passenger side done

i also ordered and installed a cover that goes between the radiator and the front grill. originally its just open and you can see all the wiring the front of the radiator/condenser. along the front of the piece is a rubber trim piece to prevent any cuts from running your hand across it. i looked high and low for a red rubber piece because it is almost perfectly inline with the red stripe on the fender. if anyone can find one for me i would be so great full.

how about a piece of small red silicone hose ..... like an airhose for a fish tank, and slice in longways to fit ??

that isn't a bad idea. Only problem I see is the hose will be rounded and I am not sure if it will match up visually. Beggers can't be choosers thought and for the price I found the hose online its definitely worth a shot.

Looking good. I am still on the fence about adding the filler piece between the grille & the radiator support to my 69 Coupe when It is done.

Figured out what to do. Red pinstriped the front right before the rubber molding.

Another question. The shaker base is blue. What do you guys think about if I painted it the gray the car is and put red pinstripping around it to match the car? To much or will look good?

Looks awesome! I do agree with you the blue needs to go not sure about the grey I'm thinking the black with red pin striping or red "MUSTANG" or red numbering (engine size). just a few ideas for you from the gallery...lol

I think you should definitely get one. It really cleans up the front nicely. If you decided to paint your engine by body color you would have to paint this to match though.

Like your ideas. I am definitely doing something with red but not sure what. I will play around with photoshop and see how black on black looks.
