How does the grill look Dustin?

Mine looks good in the pics...not so good up close. The V8 emblem is hiding a nasty dent. They re-pop mine, but the chrome is lousy on them (over $400 too). Getting mine straightened and rechromed is the best option, but $$$$$

I would imagine a nice chrome 57 grill would be hard to come by. I know several suppliers who get used (painted) grills in from time to time.

The body looks solid on it. I see surface stuff around the top of the bed (normal for that age) and one spot on the back corner and one in the front (around the turn signal). Those would not be too bad to patch.

What did you do to the grand am? I thought that is what you were driving. I have not been around NWU in a long time.

Grand am was a trip home from wichita from my ex's and i slid into a gaurdrail, that was last year tho.
I'm sure the grilles aren't too easy to find as the trucks aren't that common, you pointed out the major points on the body that i mentioned to Michale on the phone, on the front it's more of the red paint coming through if memory serves me right, i'll take more pictures tomorrow tho for him of everthing on it. Grille only has a small crinklish dent that is near the v-8 emblem, otherwise it's a nice grille. Easy to get to the back of it so i'm sure with a lil ease it could be something perfect, just finese and careful work on it. I gotta take a few pictures of that as well. My phones memory cards gonna hate me :rolling laugh: but it's the only digital camera i have around right now. Engine is a lot cleaner then in the pictures tho, although the paint on the heads isn't the greatest. Recent pictures will be necessary and all. You have a good looking truck tho and if it was perfect you'd cringe to drive it, lol.
