Re: 67 Grille Ideas --Please Vote--

I say #5 with a 71-72 bumper and clear turn signal lenses. If someone needs to see the bowtie or the chevy script to know what it is, they need to be left wondering.

I agree, and doing the metal work wouldn't be out of the question for me but the cost of chrome is...

I'm going to run side trim, but I still think the front can be "cleaned up" a little.

I like that too, but again with the cost of chrome...

That's an interesting idea.

There was a thread a while ago where a guy started making his 67-8 grille open like that. The challenge would be the trim.

Re: 67 Grille Ideas --Please Vote--

I voted. I like #4. It's clean and the idea of using turn signals in the headlights is appealing to me. I priced them several months ago and they're cool.

New show on Tuesday night asks, "What percentage of people think they are smarter than Pres. Geo. W. Bush??"
