Nice job of fabbing your own air dams, I take it you are recessing your headlights like the ones on the 56's. Looks good. I like your auxillery lights in your splash pan, something I was thinking of doing if I decide not to install the chevy bumper.

I shaved about 1 1/2" off the grill to set the headlights back in deeper.
the roll pan is home made, the lights will be a fog/running light, I haven't figured what I'm using for turn signals yet. I'm thinking they will be in the grill some where.

The grill started out as a 53' I did a few mods to it. I have to blast it it get to doing some finish work on it.
