69 Barracuda grille work

mtmopars - rklein...
my 68 formula s 340 4sp fastback that i bought in oregon came with the exact grill you have pictured. that grill was never put into any 68 barracuda painted like that. when i restored my car, i replaced the painted grill with an entire argent silver grill. however, i did paint the PLASTIC INSERTS in the middle of the grill flat black. it is true that the ENTIRE grill assembly should be argent silver to be OEM correct for 68. unless you are doing an "OEM example" car, i would paint it the way you like. i do like my grill with the flat black painted plastic inserts even though they ARE NOT OEM.
