No - it is something we made just for this job - we started w/ an NOS grill then cut and reworked the metal then sent all the grill pieces out and had them re-plated (so all chrome on all the pieces would match) - alot of work but it should set it apart from the other GMC's at a show.

toms68cst · 01-19-2005, 07:13 PM

I'm speachless!

That is some fine work.

Looks nice. I like the interior light in the rear panel. Is that the rear a/c unit behind the right wheel well?

**Canadian694x4** · 01-19-2005, 08:13 PM

Very Nice Work!!!!!!!!!!

oldschooloutlaw · 01-19-2005, 08:24 PM

old and new mixed together great
did you use bb engine mounts because I tried manifolds like that and they hit the mounts

Smokin72on20s · 01-19-2005, 08:32 PM

if you dont mind me asking, how much $$ was put into that?

Rollie396 · 01-19-2005, 09:09 PM

Holy sweet crap that is a beauty!Kudos to your team.

Rod · 01-19-2005, 09:22 PM

Thats what I'd call an all out restoration job.

Very Nice.

**uncle** · 01-19-2005, 09:26 PM

What A/C setup is that? On the firewall that is.

**JIMs70GMC** · 01-19-2005, 09:09 PM

Project1970 · 01-20-2005, 01:11 AM

I see, now I know why it wasn't there the other day when I picked up that fan switch (here's hoping it's the last one..). Looks just as gorgeous as I figured it would.

PRUNEDA · 01-20-2005, 01:26 AM

Awesome work and results. I really like the color.

jpaitala · 01-20-2005, 01:49 AM
