    xpsnake,

    Regarding front spoilers, the consensus of opinions that I have managed to compile seem to run towards 1969 Mustang and 1969 Shelby spoilers as being a good fit.

    I imagine that 1970 would also fit well, but the ones on the original cars seem to have a bit of a different shape, and the 69s just seem to compliment our cars better.

    I will likely be going with a standard 69 Mustang spoiler when the time comes.

    I'm gonna get my Comet some body work and a paint job, of course still purple if all goes good this winter, just a nicer shade of purple as my kids won't let me paint the Comet any other colour....... oh yeah and some new speakers as my old ones are rather brown and crunchy.

    Mine is getting a 68 Shelby Hood! Yeah, I know...I've had it for about 3 years now but I've actually set it in place and have been doing some more fitment work. I also found some louvers for the rear just like the 68 Shelby so I'm installing those. Planning on having it in place for the Silver Springs show in January. :)

    I'm poor this year so all I got my Maverick was a little friend to keep her company.

    at least yours has a friend. the only other ford at my house is the station wagon and its on the other side of the house. The mav is parked next to a 1990 chevy van. (and is in better condition, I might add)
