Thanks. I must have missed it. I was curious as I hadn't seen any beams drop the front that low. The first thing that caught my eye is the front valance.

I wouldn't want you to build a truck for anyone but yourself. I think it does look great. In 1967 there were no visible door lock ***** on the doors. The doors were locked either by key or pushing the door handle from the inside then sliding out the passenger side.
The reflection on the top of grille does give the impression of a damaged grille. That's what I was commenting on.
What is the emblem going to look like that is being put on the 68/69 grille?
As for the tail gate, I didn't comment on that.
The 67 trucks have a few different characteristics that are 67 only. Door lock ***** not on doors, rear view mirror, Radio. Hood badges without reflector's. to name a few.
Nice looking truck, by the way.

If you are asking about my front roll pan, I did have it locally fabricated. We used the original sheet metal from behind the front bumper, cut off the ends of the frame horns flush, and then rebraced the front. We added a front end cap to the original sheet metal from the bumper valance and made our roll pan. We then grinded the edges and smoothed it. Fortunately, it turned out good. Thanks for the comments!

I hope you are talking about my '68 or I am gonna sound foolish. Of course it wouldn't be the first time! LOL!

It's nice to see good, quality work. So many poser shops here in L.A. that just hack, spread bondo and charge top dollar. I have a friend that has his own fab shop that literally metal fabs anything. One-off frames, suspension, interior panels, etc. He is meticulous. He works on everything like it belongs to him. It's hard to find people like that.
I have another friend that does body work that I've known for 30 years. He used to do all of my dad's Fastback Mustangs. He actually works the metal so that minimum plastic is necessary.
