Talk about making up for lost time...The grille is okay,but at some angles it looks a little overstated.Thanks for the pics!
Two posts about customs within a week of each other. You're not getting an itch for a sled there are you?

I had a good buddy that was a vet of the Korean conflict, he was subject to extreme nitemares and problems from being involved in a wartime action.
