If pennies fall out of heaven, by some miracle, before the end of the build I plan to replace it. Radiators.com wanted 200.00, and that just ain't happening rite now...

Re: PO has me PO'd
Got a little done, hung battery box, put dum dum in the vertical seam because it looked like a prime candidate to hold acid and water. More thinking planning on the '67 grille. I know I'm going to get flamed for cutting a rust free orig. grille [oops, surface rust only, saw it in the pic.], but the part is out there in repro. That's my story, and I'm sticking toit

Re: PO has me PO'd
Way to go.
You got a lot more done than me this weekend. I didn't even unlock the shop today, yet. Looks good.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Next step to installing '67 chevy grille in the Jimmy. Hood latch assembly all bolted up as should be, just have to drill one hole in the bottom of the chevy grille that isn't there, so I don't see any problems there. I'm waiting for the headlite buckets and bezel to get shipped in (thanks billsbowtie) to see if there are any problems, but I don't think so... Here's what it looks like so far
 first step was to cut off the top and bracket of the chevy grille, I used my electric nibblers since I can control them better, this edge shows so I wanted it strait

Re: PO has me PO'd
 Then it was time to cut off the top of the GMC grille since I needed a flange to weld the chevy grille to, I used my cutoff wheel so I wouldn't destroy the small flange that I needed  Then it was just a matter of bolting the flange to the stock location on the upper grille surround of the GMC pc. After fitting I realized I had to move the flange back 3/4", so I had to drille new holes at that location. Vise grips and clecos are what's holding it in now till weld

Re: PO has me PO'd
 I needed the strap clamp to pull the chevy grille closer to the fender
