Patina grill - I wish my whole truck looked like this.

What do you think of this patina grill? Not a dent in the whole thing either. You know what? I like the patina trucks AND the freshly painted ones. They both have appeal, just different. I saved my parts truck grill for myself because I knew if I could figure out how to fake some patina (fauxtina?) that I just might do it. Alas, I have decided to go with paint. This grill will make some new owner VERY happy (a.k.a. shameless sales promo). More pics on my website.

Put some 6 1/2 speakers in the headlight holes, mount it on the wall and run a radio to it.

I still got the dent and bent grill from Ol John Lee hangin on my garage wall. The speaker idea is perfect for the shop. I'll have to rig that up!
