I'm think about going the other way on this. This front clip on my '69 is actually really nice. It has one small dent where the molding tapers to a point on the driver's side and both are very solid. I even have a decent '69 grill. Still yet, I'm considering putting a nice '68 clip I already have on it.

I like the 67 front end ALOT, but the truck is a beater, and I just needed a TRUCK, so it doesnt have to look great, or even look good. I just need it to haul crushed rock for my driveway once in a while, and to make trips to menards, or to haul junk around. So really it is fine the way it is, but scince I have alot of leftover stuff I might as well tinker with it a little bit.

I've also been toying with the idea of leaving the slots, and doing about an afternoons worth of body work just to make it fairly decent and doing a satin black paint job with some scallops or stripes or somthing... kind of make a rat rod. But, just incase i want to sell it in a year or so I dont want to make it unapealling to someone just wanting a beater truck. So I might just leave the body alone, other than a new boxside and maybe the clip? I'll figure it out later.

Well, on saturday I got the nex exaust manifold on, managed to break the dang starter solenoid becasue I didnt like the way the positive battery cable was routed. While i was in there, I figured I'd re-rout it and the + post on the solenoid broke right off. I also got my new spark plugs and wires on. The bracket I had for the alternator wasnt right, and thats all i really had left under the hood so maybe that will get done next weekend.

heres some pics of the old manifold, and the process of putting the new one on. I didnt get new pics of it all back together yet.
