Just some more progress photos as we settle into the weekend !!
Here is how the two end pieces came out with the ends capped and the letters hammered out. They have since taken a lot more tweaking, massaging, time and attention, but looking at this grill mod I think I could see myself doing this again just as a center grill and doing something else with the headlights.
In the process of mocking this project up, I realized the original face where the headlights mounted was too countoured for me to work with. I am not so good with engineer math....
This was the initial cut for the doors to swing up into.
So I really wanted to make this fill panel one piece, but my sheet steel was not big enough. Here is the two piece I had to go with:
Then it was a matter of hanging the face and marking it all up with measurements and land marks. I didnt know from the git-go how this was all going to work out, but I did know that I was not going to mess with my radiator mount pillars....
This last one is just a glam shot... I think it looks pretty cool like this.
