    Without the center 'dagmar', you'll be surprised how many guys will ask you what the grille is...
    Love those 'cleaned off' '54 grilles!

    Why does the lower right corner of your trunk stick out so much?
     
  16. Because it's not adjusted right ! The stop is to far out in that corner !!

    Chuck DeWitt's Barris-built '52 wagon featured a similar treatment, with a mesh grille.

    Yet another treatment. (Pictures from Kustomrama.)

    BTW, the lid from a paint can might prove the perfect radius for your hood corners. Check it out.
