Ok guys, be honest it won't hurt my feelings. When I bought this project the grille shell was already painted black, I'm not convinced that I like it yet... What do you guys think?????

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Thats really going to depend on how the rest of the truck is going to look, right now in that pix I think it looks pretty sharp its got a mean look to it.

Re: Members opinions
I would really like to have a 67-68 front clip, but here in WV it is hard to find any good sheet metal that is not rotted out.

Re: Members opinions
If I left the grille black I guess I would have to go with a black bumper also..

Re: Members opinions
Here's an idea..
What if you left all the chrome and stainless black.. but a satin black for contrast against the shine of the body panels..

Re: Members opinions
I did mine 20 years ago and yes I am getting bored with it.I used a semi-flat trim paint to give a little contrast against the gloss black .

I think if I came across a descent deal on the stock brightwork I would change it but it's your truck and in the end of the day it's what you want that matters.

I will probably try to polish out the cross bar tomorrow like the one in the pic. If I screw it up or don't like it I will try to find a nice oem grille shell..

Re: Members opinions
If you keep everything blacked out, it works and looks great. If you have any major chrome at all on the front, it won't look quite right. Like a blacked out grill with a chrome bumper just looks off.
