That looks great Dan!
Does the lower lip over-hang the bevel at the bottom of the tail light panel? Hard to tell from the pic. Certainly doesn't mess up the look, I was just curious.

Yeah, it does hang over just a tad. For the most part - it doesn't stand out at all. It looks like a shadow if anything at all. The nice thing is the '70 pop-open uses exactly the same mounting holes as the '66. No drilling is necessary, and the swap can be reversed in 5 minutes.

40th Anniversary badges on a 67? What are you celebrating, the introduction of the Model A?

that's why they are on the 2004s from the factory, not because the 2004 Mustang itself is 40 years old. 
But you knew that :worship:

Here is a pic of the cap I was talking about. I hope to be able to work on this in the next month or so.

Followup - scored a new 1970 pop-open cap on Ebay last night...
Hoping the 68 Shelby emblem fits it - about 90% sure it will...
Just change the "COBRA" lettering to "CLONE"...

"Finished" product for Dan66 & bnickel....
Thanks "EVERYBODY" for the ideas.
That's a 1970 pop-open cap with a 68 Shelby center emblem. Total cost was under $80, less the $32 I got selling the 65 cap....
