Default 1965 mustang front modification?

i have a 1965 mustang, and i was wondering if there is nice ways of modifying the front of the car to something more sporty or more like GT350 but without spending a fortune and making it nice... any ideas would be great.

Remove the pony,corral and the bars that go to each side of the corral,then you have an "empty" grille.Then get a fender emblem-mount it about 1/4 of the way from the driver's side end of the grille,and there you go.For a bit more,get a Shelby scoop on put on the hood,or for even more $-but looks better,get a fiberglass hood with the Shelby scoop molded in

Ive got a 65' mustang and we ended up taking out the front grill, lowered it and put in a bullit grill. Looks way sick, crome it out and it will look like a BAMF, not many coupes have it... mostly just the elenor kits on fast backs.

Check your local laws before taking the front bumper off. Here in Florida it's against the law to not have a front and rear bumper.

I myself want to modify the front valance similar to the Shelby. Will post what I come up with. I'd rather modify than spend the amount that they want for the fiberglass piece, even though the Shelby part does look real good.---Chuck
