I've never understood why Pontaic only offered the 70/71/72 T/A in only Lucern Blue or Polar/Cameo White. They look great in those colors but the red is pretty sweet as well. Another color that would have looked great is Silver w/Black stripe. Were there any extra colors in 73 besides Brewster and Red?

Bought them on ebay years ago, I had a few sets but sold them off. The guy had them cut and labeled for each side, but I imagine the material is out there somewhere. they were black..I painted them since my car is so dark. Good luck!

If black is OK then they sell it at Lowes in the screen door section, I have yet to buy any but my neighbor put this on his mustang (honeycomb pattern). I need to buy it for my shaker as well.

I checked today. The screen that Lowe's sell is actually called a "screen door grill" and is $22, comes in silver or brown and is elongated honecomb. Not quite what is pictured above but it will match my elongated honeycomb grill from the 72 that I will be using. Holes may be a little bigger than the one pictured as well.

Here is a link, not a good pic though, also looks like they sell something cheaper called diamond mesh below it that looks vaguely honeycomb like

Thanks Kell! A friend showed me a piece of that last year, I was thinking I would need a fender washer to hold it up in there, how thick was the stuff you saw?
I like the matching pattern, however its not seen much unless the hood is up.

I'm new here, except for lurking for quite a while, but this is my second post. Awesome rides here. Here is my project in various stages, 1970 Formy, not numbers matching, but will be fun (and that is my primary goal). Just about ready to lower it, bake it, then take it apart and start sanding for paint! (Here is hoping I do this pic posting thing correctly).

PS: I took the front spoiler off, didn't like the fit, sent it back to Classic. I still like the front spoiler look, but have not found the right one yet.

SWEET!, going with original color? Is that code 53 GOLD on your air horn under the fenders?
