Well today I took the grille off and painted all the mounting tabs black, I think it looks nicer having them blend in with the radiator support, kinda gives the illusion that the grille is just "floating". I also removes a portion of the cowl to gain access to the dented area behind the hood on the drivers side, I drilled out the spot welds and then removed all the rust/paint from the panel and primered it with weld thru primer. Also got all the surface rust out of that inner portion of the cab and then primed it with the weld thru primer as well. Removing that panel also helps me cut out a portion of the upper kick panel where one of the E-brake handle mounted and the mount (along with the hole) busted/broke off, so I'll cut that out and make a patch panel to weld in before the panel gets welded back in.
