    I reported before that I had found a match for Maverick Kick Panels Speaker Grills ... Torino Door Panel Speaker Grills ...

    Here is the conversion ...

    Take a Torino Grill -

    Take a Standard Kick Panel:

    The template is already on the back:

    Cut just INSIDE the template like this:

    And you have duplicated a factory Maverick Speaker Kick Panel! The blue one is original factory ...

    What year Torino?

    Thanks for the info btw!
    I am a firm believer that if Ford didn't provide your part, another Ford car will provide it!

    Good job.

    Mustang II's from 1974-1978 also have these speaker grills.
