Talking let's see some custom grilles and hoods

Anyone got any pics of their custom front ends (hoods, grilles, bumpers). I'm trying to decide how I want the front of my 67 gmc to look. So let's see those custom 4 eyes or bowties.

Re: let's see some custom grilles and hoods

I would be interested in what others have done. My buddy and I are thinking of doing something similar to the General Mayham grill on his 69 C20.

There was a guy here that was building his in a similar style to a modern 69 camaro. It looked menacing.

Re: let's see some custom grilles and hoods

This is what I'm thinking. I cross between mad max and zombie mobile. Something that will scare the prius in front of us.

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
