You can order the grill directly from Shelby. www.shelbyautos.com

Shelby does not sell the grill with the emblem. The emblem is a 65-66 Mustang driver's side fender emblem. Scott Drake makes a nice reproduction. I JB Welded a bolt to the back of the emblem and bolted it onto the grill.

You know I like the look of this grille but didn't like that it was an overlay. However, 1 plus of an overlay on a light colored car is that the original grill still hides the body colored hood latch.
This picture illustrates what it looks like when you have a full up replacment grille on a light colored car. You can see the white hood latch behind the grille.

Could you get some close up pics of how you got the pony emblem on there for me to look at?

Sorry, I have a zillion pictures, but not one of the back of the emblem. I attached a close up of the emblem on the grill. In that location (three bars up from the bottom), all the mounting pins fit in between the bars and the emblem is straight.

I took a small stainless steel bolt and put the bolt head on the back side of the emblem where the yellow square is in the picture. The horse's body is recessed on the back. I filled that area with JB Weld and it secured the bolt to the emblem. I put some emblem mounting tape on the back of the emblem and bolted it to the grill. I hope this helps.
