    Whoops, I meant to say that it doesn't good. In fact, it's so ugly that the only car it should go on is a dark blue '73 from Oklahoma. :yup:
    :rofl:

    After looking at this for a second time it appears that someone with a CNC machine or a mill could knock those out easily enough. A few shallow threaded holes in the back could be used for mounting studs to attach it to the car.

    If a CNC machine is used, either Ford or Mercury could be milled into it too.

    Just a thought,

    Looking back on the pics I think it may need the trim around the spoiler to finish it off.

    if someone does make them maybe they could have it to where theres a flange on either end so the little bolts on the fuel filler neck can be used to eliminate holes on that side, and i cant remember if theres a bolt on the taillight on the inside or not, but if there is, you could do the same thing for the outside... just a thought. might make it an easier add on and no holes drilled in your tail panel. hmmm. how much does a cnc machine or a mill cost? lol.
