Hi John, how was your day.
Didn't get the shed done but got the extra add ons finished, got a call from Shantou Guangdong about a small job on a rental unit in the Ogden area. I looked twice at the phone but knew it had to be someone that knows me before I answered.

I patched an area today in that 53 grille I'm working on and also putting the 56 trim rings. I have another small patch to do on the other side of this lamp holder. Center section of the grille still needs to be sand blasted so need to set up a tarp outside and do that one day then weld it all back together.

Once you get the grill finished is it going to be rechromed or painted? Your work looks absolutely top notch!
I have a 54 grill which I hoped to use in my 53 till I found out that it needed a matching 54 gravel pan, now it's going to be my wall art next to the 53 and 55 grills. I don't have a 56 grill any more. I`m using the 53 grill that was nicely restored and painted late this summer. I ordered the re-pop 53 shipping damaged fender today, good news is that the shipping is expected to be only $110 instead of $200.
