Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Took the grill apart today don’t think I can salvage the fog lights took the rings off and the housings are rotted. But everything came apart without braking clips or bolts . Never had molding clip nuts just come off the turn signals the same just a little PB and they came right off . Was going to buy a new grill emblem then thought it’s nice enough to rechrome but it cleaned up nice . Any suggestions as to the color red I should use to repaint it ?
