...2nd grill attempt

      So long to the 49 Chevy grill. It had to be done, I seem to remember a couple of you fellas telling me the 49 might not let enough air flow through, and I said "Naaaah it'll be fine." Well I can't believe I know soooo much, but I didn't know I was gonna torch my 305 coming back from Rust Revival. Maybe I should listen to other people sometime and stop talking for once. Anyhow, this should do the trick. Kind of a tribute to the late 40's/early
      50's customs. It needs some chrome, and a bead around the surround and it should be good.

      Thanks Dan. Yeah you're right, maybe I should make some some portholes!

      I didn't hate it, just thought it was a little " small" for that front end. Haha but you hit the nail on the head this time!

      Art deco, flows nice with the hood. The chevy was smallish IMO...

      Im for it. Thats funny thats what happened. I remember us having that conversation the first time you cruised it with the little grille up to CAB. You were confident, haha, "itll flow just fine"

      Are you going to find some trim to surround the new opening
