My brother just found this picture on his computer and sent it to me. This was about 8 years ago right after I had painted my other '72 that I had. I need to get my arse in gear and get my current truck looking like that... :o

Thanks bent! That grill surround was pretty beat up, so I ground it down and bondo'd and shaped it back to shape. This was a low buck truck, but it turned out really good. Seeing it has gave me some inspiration to get started on my current one. Hopefully I can get some momentum and keep it up!

I have to disagree on the grill and grill trim. I think it's kinda ruins the front of the truck.

It looked better once I painted the grill the original color, but if I still had the truck I prolly would have replaced the surround with a repop by now. I should have just kept it and went from there. Now starting all over, it's really hard to get this current truck even close where that one was when I traded it off...

To each their own, but I think it looks pretty good. If all the trucks looked the same, wouldn't that be boring?
