All I Need is a Grille!

[LBJ]

Got all the other parts put on today. The local Chevy House "somewhat" promised me my grille today. Hasn't gotten there yet. Pretty disappointed. Means Monday at the earliest. The plater got my headlight trim buckets yesterday. They look pretty good. He said pot metal is tough to get correct. Took him 3 tries to do it right. There is a gap between the stainless trim pieces and the headlight buckets. I think this truck was mal-assembled from the beginning. It has always had a fittment problem on the driver's side front end. Thus, there is a gap between the pieces. Not much I can do about that. I evened up the spaces and made it look as good as possible. The hood needs to come froward about 3/4" to cover the trim and headlight buckets. May have the paint guy do that for me. He missed a few things LIKE BUFFING THE ENTIRE ROOF!!! hahahaha.

Hand painted the arch trim and hub caps. There are 60 little black divisions on each cap. Made a little Bowtie pattern out of plywood and scribed around it and painted within the lines. I just widened the yellow circle that was stock. The Bowtie decals fell off years ago. They want a LOT of money for those little stickers. Paint is cheap and lasts longer. Look a lot beeter for pics with the tires scrubbed and dressed, but maybe later.
