Hey Guys,
When I put Dads 64 in storage last winter i did not get a chance to wash it before I put it away. That wasn't my best moment, my wheels went to crap, been polishing for hours. while doing this mindless work I remember dad discussing that he painted his grill on his original comet so I said what the heck I'll try it out. just thought I'd share my results.

If I'm not mistaken, there was a drag car or two back in the day with black painted grille, '64 & '65. Looks boss! 8)
