more on the bumper guard teeth: (from the hamb)
They are super cheap. Like $6 each at your local VW store. I ended up needing 11 teeth, so it was only $66 plus tax. Mount em on a piece of square tubing and your ready to rock!

That possibly photoshopped GMC grille is a neat idea, and I could pull that off fairly easy. The VW bumper guard grille teeth were actually one thing I considered in the past. It's a really neat look, but my truck may be a little too stock to pull of such a busy front end. That brown truck is quite intense, I forgot it even existed.

they didn't mention that in the hamb post, but I did a quick google search for "vw bumper guards" , and came up with 67 and earlier euro style.

If it was me, I'd go with 65gmc930's idea with '61 inserts. But definately not the 4-5-6 grille. they don't look right on anything but 4-5-6's IMO.

Love the 60-1 hood, Id use the GMC grill and put yellow headlights in it, I think that would look cool. Wonder what a 62 chevy grill would look with a 60-1 hood?
