Nice work! Very cool...

69BBsuburban · 06-10-2009, 05:47 PM

Neat....but what's up with the grill? The headlight bezels don't fit it very well.
Is the center section from a newer GMC?

dammitmitchell · 06-10-2009, 06:07 PM

wow.... origional...

merca · 06-10-2009, 06:12 PM

the grille is a cheap aftermarket so it still needs a lot of help to fit right. i still need to finish stuff like that and finish fitting all the panels a little better
