Re: grille mod i thought i'd share

they are BRIGHT amber when lit...i MAY have an amber lens to go in it. I'm also going to be a smartass and install H-D 7" halogen headlights just cause i can...they have a LITTLE bar & shield in the center, you probably wont even notice it...

this was so easy i was really, really surprised no one had thought of this, er, at least i've never seen it before. Looking back at my old magazines, the Fesler Built red 67 has these indentations when they shaved the turnsignals and DIDN'T smooth it out. Don't get me wrong, i am in no where or no how comparing my POS truck to that, but i'm just saying it's the little details that add up to big things when done. My Harley Road King has a ton of little things that make people scratch their head...
I'm a good visualizer & designer but i'm not a welder or fabricator, i really envy you guys who build & fab the trick detail parts and goodies. I can paint, pinstripe, letter and layout flames & graphics pretty well, but the welding/fab i have to rely on my buddies.
My truck is going to get painted semi-gloss black with some candy flake flames on the hood and doors. I'm going to first layout one set of flames to be a reverse set so i don't have to flame the leading hood/fender edge or the grille.
I also hope to get a set of Eagle Alloys 20 x 8.5 and 20x10 wheels in the future:
