Thanks. When you get a chance, snap some pictures of your truck, I'd like to see them.

As for paint, The white/purple looks sweet but as you mention a little out dated. That's as far as I'll go with that, Everyone should build their rides the way THEY want them and not worry about others.

It would be a bland world if everyone done everything the same way !!!

Now, Looks like your moving right along and making good progress..... I have another question if you don't mind ?

I see the cut-out in your roll pan for the hitch, What did you use for a plate bracket flip up/flip down/side flip ?

Keep on wrenchin an up-datin....

Thanks
I'm not offended but I wasn't expecting the focus to be on the grill but rather the truck as a whole. Everything's cool, we're moving on.

As for the new paint, not sure what I want to do, so still researching. Flames are out, two-tones are in but going out and solids are always in. If I do repaint the truck, I'm keeping the hood and fenders to hang on my garage wall and I'll find new ones. But for now, that's a long way away.

For the hidden hitch, as of a month ago, I'd hadn't even cut it out. Up until I pulled it out of my side yard I hadn't used it since installing the roll pan. But the plans are, I'm going to buy a flip-up one.

Thanks for the support.
