    That looks great. It was THE perfect touch for a Ford custom then, and still is. Nice job.

    Excellent work. Nice to see the return of the better custom touches from that era.

    Those Cadillac grilles and '47 Olds grilles look pretty good on '46-'48 Fords.Yours is no exception Kenny.Very cool,I like it a lot.Should look phenomenal once everything is chromed and painted.Definitely adds more of that capital K to your Kustom Ford.

    This is how it looks now. the vertical ribs are stainless, so they can be polished, but the horizonal ribs need re chroming.
