Grill

I made my grill today, its not complete yet. I made the front nose curve around and then had it match the radius of the hood. I still have to cut in my relief design, so that should give it a better look or not. Hell, I may just toss it and run the original. Really having a hard time try to deside what to do.:confused:

I like the grille you made BUSTEDKNUCKLE. I was just joking about the lowering comment earlier. The truck looks awesome to me.

No worries, I just wasnt sure what you meant. I guess I am a little slow.... LOL. I think its pretty funny because I went and looked at it and thought, I really cant lower it any more unless I section it a little. HMMM Gastrick maybe right it dose need to sit lower, now you got me thinking. The grill is giving me a hard time, I am just not loving it. Any ideas????????????:confused:
 
Grill

This is what I ended up with..... It took me all day, I used a hand grinder with a cutting wheel. Strayed from my marker lines a bit, hope its not that noticable.
I plan to round of the bottom a little, and maybe do somthing with center rib.

I think it looks great. You could put a PBJ on the front and it would still be awesome. Your giving me some ideas. Keep workin on it. I think you should build another one . he he he
 
I really like it.. the way you did the patten of the cut out really looks good
 
My buddy and I went to a little car show last week, had a great time. I think we had a small crowd around us most of the day. P eople were just a little confused on what we were actualy building. Wes won a trophy for his little K-5 and I got BEST PAINT award LOL.

Congratulation! This is a Great car. Really a "Pura Sangre".
It seems like a Roman Gladiator!
This truck was a diamond in raw condition. And you have polished it!

Question: Which paint did you use? I have done a similar work a few years ago and now I could see superficial corrosion in some places. I think that I shall do the work again (polish and paint again).
 
BUSTEDKNUCKLE,
I followed the build on your truck and could not fathom the time and effort you have in it.....You also know that I wouldnt insult you for anything in the world, RIGHT.

But for some reason I am just drawn to you're buddys truck....
got anymore pics of it...B@D A$$ in my book

Oh Hell, I dont mind at all. I did the chop and grill on that truck along with graphing a independent front end on it. Wes has did the rest, and your right its just plain bad ass. He did a subaru rear, with a 289 auto. I will get some pics up when I see him.
