Grill looks good, too bad about the down time Chris.
It`ll be that much sweeter when you do get the 53 out again.

I think it looks awesome Chris, you do one hell of a job.

Are you doing anything different when it comes to painting it, or is it all going to be yellow?

its given me lots of time to decide on what direction i wasnt to go with it. while im waiting for it im taking off the front bumper, removing the lower valance. Im cutting off the fronts of my frame horns and filling in the hole in the valance where the horns pass through the valance so the bumper can attach. Should be a nice clean look to the front end
