This project is how I found out that 72 and 73 grilles are different at the bottom where the bracket pushes through. Still need to do some prep work before primer and paint. I'm debating between spraying the grille entirely black or leaving the mesh insert silver.

I can tell you one negative of painting your whole grille black. I also built a custom grille for my 73 cuda and I love the grille and the way it looks painted all black, but............I can't get a picture of it. Every pic I take of it just looks like a black hole. Probably need to get a better camara, :dunno. Other than that I love it. You can check out the pics. Good luck, and.........it's an Ebody so it will look great which ever way you go. Burnout!!!
