      The weather today kept me from finishing the paint. Once that is done, I will bolt it up. If all goes well, will hopefully have it all together over the weekend.

              Looks pretty cool - better than the sig pic.

                Thanks! I was thinking that as it was coming together. I got excited and had to remind myself not to rush ahead too much. It's not perfect and you can see some rough spots up close. I'll fix it right eventually. But for now I am just ready to get it back on the road!

                  Some more angles: (ignore the water drops, I had just rinsed it off...)

                    That looks nice. It has an early '80s Chevy family resemblance. I'd black out the inner headlight pocket, and you're good to go!

                        I hope the "awfully" means "extremely"... [emoji51] Either way, I'm happy with the way it turned out.

                          My goal was to not "modernize" the look with the changes and still have it look "period correct" so I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, I'm going to hit those spots where the yellow still shows with some black.

                            So are you foregoing high beams, or going to a dual-filament bulb in a projector for the headlights?

                              I'm looking for a dual filament option that I like. I don't want it to look too modern but the ones with Halos do look sweet... Still weighing the options.

                                I painted the core support so that no yellow would show through. Also pics of how the grille is mounted to headlight bezels and from the back at the bumper.
