Here's todays progress in a nutshell. I got the backside of the grille sanded smooth before spraying it with a 20% gloss black urethane. It had a good bit of base and clearcoat overspray on it. Looks much cleaner now.

Once the back was dry, i riveted the upper and lower grill extensions in place. Be sure to use aluminum rivets on this or you'll eventually have rust stains running down your new paint. The only 3/16 rivets i had on had were aluminum but with a steel mandrel. Not to worry, one the rivet is in place, the mandrel serves no purpose and can be driven out with a pin punch.

The grille extensions were powder coated in a 50% gloss black as opposed to the 20% on the radiator support and inner fenders. This will make it a little easier to clean up as opposed to the matte finish elsewhere. Its not enough of a different contrast to be really noticeable.
Finally finished installing the molding clips and got those bolted in place. Those lil clips are a fight to get in place. My fingers hurt like heck, but it was worth it. I'm pretty stoked with the fit and finish of everything ! :chevy: |
