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?

Are you going to paint the tail panel Black? Or did you opt for it to be like that?

I thought we'd just leave it body color although now that its back home the tail panel just doesn't seem right. New tail light bezels will certainly fill part of that void but it really does need to blacked out. The hood depressions need that black tape too.

Yeah, black it out.  But other than that, it's just perfect.  Congrats on a job well done.
