Hey slick thanks alot. im very happy with the out come so far. alot of hard work but I think im getting there one day at a time. The Radiator/Grill fill in was actually really tough. took me a week to just get it fabricated. I had welded every piece there so thats what took so long. the curved area. is where the hardest was. I didnt have a roller for sheet metal so I cut some tubing in half and made it work just perfect and welded it to the sheet metal. I think if I had the roller it would have been so much easlier. now If you went along and made one with out the curve and just bent it into a 90 there it would work too and get away from all that hard work. but now that I did this I had to also mod it up on the underside to have a pull cable to open my hood.
