Just give it a name that means something and then smack a bunch of keys to add a suffix and your good to go!  :2thumbs:

Yet more grille work..........I found the top center mounting tab broken so I fabricated a piece of aluminum, drilled it and epoxied it in place. After the center section was painted you'll never see it and its strong!

More body work........the only real damage was the usual rust in the back glass corners and some weird dimpling on the passenger side quarter panel. Maybe gravel damage?

Thanks jb666, we were very lucky to acquire this Calif car. I was bought locally by a buddy of mine until I hammered him enough to finally sell it to me. More pix of the odyssey coming up.........
