I really need to buy me a nice one as it would be handy as hell. My grille turned out ok for now, just had to do a ton of taping. But, this would be nice to do when I get the whole truck re-painted and show worthy.
If I recall correctly, I just hot glued the trim ring I removed on my old '93 fullsize when I changed to the '94-98 GMC grille & added billet. That's what I'm planning to do with this one. I could JB Weld or whatever other more permanent adhesive, but the hot glue would be easier to work with if I ever need to remove it again. The Dremel worked great. I wish mine had a cord though, because the battery doesn't last worth a darn.

The emblem looks great! I can't wait to see the finished product once the grille is complete.
Thanks man. We initially thought my dad was dealing with kidney cancer as a result of smoking, but the biopsy threw everyone for a loop. It's just an unfortunate freak occurrence.

Yeah, I was happy with the way the emblem turned out. I'm ready to see it all back together as well!
