    Oh nice, I'll definitely look into it, although I'm not sure how good a black grill will look on a black car.

    Destroyed garage... Yes, that is a pipe wrench, a ball peen hammer, and a jack. All necessary fitment tools. Also about 2 pounds of metal dust. :rofl:

    Lookin good.

    Feel your pain on the dust, I used cutoffs exclusively to build my front and rear, I was coughing up black boogies for months. I like that magnetic ground, I need to get one of those.

    So I have a question, you going to spend hours smoothing and sanding this one just to paint it with textured paint again :anonymous::goingcrazy:

    All jokes aside - it's coming together nicely!!

    Thanks! That magnetic ground is very handy, highly recommended.
    LOL - Jerk, Bringing up old sh!t! I probably will spend extra time by hand ensuring all the transitions are smooth. I'll skip the glazing putty step this time though.

    Other side all tacked up... Now to pull it off, finish welding, grinding, smoothing transitions and some paint.

    THEN... I can start the swing out.

    Plan to put this on the truck... Take a couple days away from it and then tackle the swing out.
    Already got it sorted out, just need a break.
