Thanks.
I did have to change the core support. I forgot to add that in the top.

That does look better.
Maybe if the GMC grill was still chrome I would prefer it...but you were right, this looks bad ass.
I think it looks a ton better too. In the first pic it's tough to see that damage that was done, but if you look in the middle toward the bottom you can kind of see it. The PO reareneded someone with a receiver hitch that stuck out, it crushed the middle of the grill in. I had fixed it with a come-along and a tree, but it still looked like crap when you got within 10 feet.
I still think that it would look really cool with a chrome 67-68 GMC grill, maybe the next one


Thanks for all of the comments everyone. It feels really good to get it out of the garage. I drove it for the first time without the top today. It is really a fun ride. I have bags waiting to go on, but I will have to drive it for a couple weeks before I tear it apart again. The bags may end up waiting until winter!
