Re: Maggie's Custom
Good to see you guys back at it.... Wow you sure have been busy!
Sure does look good sitting down like that, I can see why you put the clip back on for the photos! Cannot wait to see how your grill comes out.

Re: Maggie's Custom
A few grille pics!!
I welded on some tabs to bolt the Chevrolet too. Had to replace the headlight buckets with the ones from the stock grille. I cut off the bracket on the letter "R" and kept the cemter support on the grille, the letter fit over the center support perfect! Once painted black I don't think you will see it. I don't know how others have done it, but it seamed to work. Jason |

Re: Maggie's Custom
Nice job on the grille. I would vote to leave it as-is too, but I think it would need/be better with a nicely patina'd white bumper. Sounds like your set on chrome though, which will no doubt be nice as well.

Re: Maggie's Custom
I could go either way with the chromed or not grill frame.
The Chevrolet emblem though, I most certainly would not chrome. I would either leave it in a state of patina, or it would get some form of tie-in paint; depending upon the plans for the rest of the truck. Either way, looks like you are on the road to a Win-Win !! Great work, and I was wondering when she was going to be in a photo again
