Cool I really Dont See what took Jake so long...

I picked up a honeycomb grille yesterday. Started making a patman grille, and start to finish, Including taking the existing grille off my truck, took about 3 hours. All thats left to do is paint it. Should i do silver or a different Color? I love teaser threads. Pics Tomorrow.

Was hoping to get it done and painted and on the truck today but i put some flexible plastic on all the joints and small gaps to get it all perfect and it has to cure for 24hrs. So tomorrow for sure.
