great start! i like how you "pancaked" the hood, ive done that on a couple mercs, gives it a more modern look. keep it goin cheers bryan

thanks Jeremy! ok, the rest of the grille bars are installed, i didnt really think i would like it at first, but now i do. a couple of shots with the shell in place more to come, stay tuned cheers bryan

any progress today jeremy? we need some eye candy! cheers bryan

I just noticed that these rods i am using for the grille bars are hollow........they would be great for making hinges! bryan

so something like this....... only 6 bars in total. heres what im using to make the grille bars, i have no idea what they are, but i have a bunch of them. i got them from mike napoleon, ill have to ask him what the heck they are.... time to do the other 3......stay tuned. thanks for lookin cheers bryan

i dont have any mesh that is the right size, so i think ill add six verticle bars to the shell......stay tuned heres a sneak peek.... im not gonna go nuts with the rust holes, i added some to the right fender, im gonna make a patch panel on one of the door bottoms, and maybe the cab corners as well... heres the fender more to come bryan

Yea cranky, i was thinkin mesh, ill have to put a verticle center bar so the mesh will have the right shape... more to come bryan

I dont know how i did it, but i lost the grille for this truck!! i have a bunch of "bagged kits" i got them with no boxes, so maybe it was missing from the start. I cut out the grille shell, it was solid plstic where the chrome part mounted on it, so i hacked it away and sanded it, now ill make a new grille for it. thanks for lookin, more to come bryan

what a great idea! very creative. nice work so far, thta new roofline looks great, keep it goin. cheers bryan

Thanks Tom, that panel of yours looks great man!! thanks cranky! i finally made it to the bench, i slept all day! LOL i had to catch up i didnt sleep for 3 nites.....ok time to do something. stay tuned bryan
