I got all the parts I need for my newer front end conversion or updating. New grill and lights fit up nearly perfectly. I need some mesh for the big hole up front and I'll be coating it black.



Yesterday I picked up some more tubing that will be going across the whole front to support the upper radiator. The front end went together like a dream and I'll be able to at least fill the radiator to run the engine. Then when that happens it's going on a trailer to my friends steel shop where I'm going to redo the front body mounts and spend another day adding some more support tubing up from the frame to the stiffen up the whole front end.

Here is a shot from just behind the radiator to show how much space extending the front end has helped out:


I'm just kidding here with this picture... this is a friends race car and I wish my truck looked like this under the hood!
