let's see some custom grilles and hoods - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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.

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.

Here is my 69 with a billet insert and the LMC bumper with fog lights

Also interested, not going really custom with mine, just a set of halo headlights and maybe the same foglight bumper as haysonj

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

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

I'll play... may be a little more than you were lookin for. Grille and hood both hand made.
