That's my style! I dig that the original grille was used & altered a bit to suit the owner's taste. Subtle(ish)& looks nicely done. French in some 56 headlight buckets & now we're talkin! The bumpers aren't my thing but it's always neat to see other people's vision.

Cool grille. I can see the Umbaran influence. Jury is out on the bumpers.

Well now that is different. I would like to see it head on.
I like him reusing the grill in a different way. I'm on the fence on the bumpers.

Some of the guys who have been on here might remember this guy and I'm wondering if that truck might have been his. I remember he sold it because he was having health issues and was never seen again...
