Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Painted the back of my new chrome grill, and straightened and painted the brackets. Here's a tip of how to install a new grill. Align the holes with a punch and then clamp them with a vice grips. then pop rivet them in. I had trouble because there were bent. I painted behind the grill to protect it from rust. I also cleaned up the Cragers. They do look good. I think I'll keep them after all. :metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
If I were you I would get rid of the grill. It just is'nt you.;) I don't think it does anything for the truck. I liked the other one you had. It's not really doing thing different. All that said you can send it to me. It's in really good condition.:lol::lol: How do u type inbetween the pictures?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
i say keep the bowtie !! looks killer !!
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
To be honest I cant say I really like the bow tie right now. I think it you put the bumper and hood on with the lights it might look better, But right now I'm not feeling it. So I say send it to Dave and send me the Cragers.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Dave & Paul.....NO!!! :haha:

I install the lights, and took off the Bowtie. I think it looks better without. I'm thinking of bullets across the middle.

How about a 58 vette grill? Lets see some bullets. I was thinking the same.;)How do u post pictures. I tried it did'nt work. I use the manage thing to post
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Vette grill is way too expensive. But I thought about it. I think the bullets will set off the chrome on the grill.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

That means you have no bills. Everthing is paid off. Kids are gone. Your rolling in the dough.;) Even if you are retarded.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Then I woke up. :haha: Not everything is paid for. GOT TOYS. :uhmk:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
before you mentioned the bullets i was thinking a vertical grille from soda straw thick pieces of chromed roundbar welded in a flatbar "windowframe" the same way they usually make the grilles for a 40s rod
it would look simulair to the vette grill but a lot finer and closer together , could give them a litle bend out too ..... but again you can only see how that would work when the hood is on the car |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I'm thinking of a metal bed floor from a doner newer truck bed with inner fenders. What do you guys think? Remember "Cheap Build". I just saw one at a Wrecking Yard. It was crushed on top of the bed, but the floor looked good. It might be cheap.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Why not? You've done all the other mods, why stop now. ;):lol:
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
It should be a hell of a lot cheaper than a wood floor. :uhmk:
I'll have to measure it and see what they want for it. |

Dennis-- I forget-- is that a short bed?? |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I think the start of the fender openings is a little farther back, but if the donor truck is a long bed , then it could be cut down to fit a short bed easily . Then Rhino coat the darn thing and no one will know.......
