make sure to start a thread about it, with a pictorial......it's alot better way to go if anyone wants to do it....a little more user friendly on the install.....dont get me wrong it's not easy but it is easier to work with compared to fiberglass

What grill did you end up putting on it? I remember you were having problems with the newer type grill because of the flip front

You really should add some of those final shots to the video. It needs some closure, namely a front end
Show off that beautiful paint!
