    Looks great! Adding 2 more teeth might crowd the grille opening, I think it looks good as it is.

    Great job on customizing the 51. I'd love to see more pics when you get a chance. Also, could you share what you did with the front and rear suspension to get her lowered. Keep us posted. Thanks.

    Man I love Kustoms!

    I was looking for updated pictures of the grill treatment and I was shocked to see all of
    the other kustom tricks that you did to the Chevy. Very kool project I was going to tell
    ya that I love the grill but instead I'll say the whole build is looking real kool. Kan't wait
    to see it on the highway....

    Happy Trails,

    Mick

    Thanks and yeah 2 more might be too much...

    The front suspension is a Fatman ultralow mustang II & the rear is triangulated 4 link.
    I got it from Gambino Kustoms call him good guy to work with.

    Did a quick Photoshop with the extra two teeth. I agree with ya, it crowds that kool grill
    opening. I like it better without the extra teeth....

    I put a '53 grill in my '57 but couldn't find enough teeth to close it up solid before I wrecked it way back about the late fall of '64 or so.

    And as Toad's girl would say, "It looked, "Bitchin""

    But I have to say that imho, the '54 grill w/ it's skinny teeth vs the wider '53 teeth looks a tad better

    More like the way early 'Vettes is all...............

    Looks awesome. Great looking car anyways but the grill looks cool. I was thinking of doing the same thing on my 52 but great to see yours first.
