Baby-blue is done

Hey all, I just finished with Baby-blue 66 F250 and posted some pictures of the final results. What do you think? For all of you purist I know it's a 64 grille on a 66 but I really like the 64 grilles intricate pattern.

Sharp looking Slick; that grille really makes the truck stand out! I love it. And honestly I'm with ya on the grille stance. I think the 65 below grille's look the best. and I've owed a few 66 models as well.

Very nice. I have a 66 grille on my 64. I'm glad when you did it you did right. Upper valance for the 64 grille was a good touch. I've seen some peeps put 62 63 64 grilles on 65 66 without changing the upper valance, and visa versa.
Looks good.
