Default Thrilled....

Thanks Fordbarn and all the 38/39 fellas over the years. Grille is fit and the truck will be ready for the road after I get the new headlights in and the aftermarket fogs mounted.

Most importantly this would not be running with out Walter Dupont. Enjoy the upcoming Labor day weekend, I will be.

Sweet. I'm glad you found the grill gasket.

Do you need the sheet metal surround under the grill?

Nice, but have some class and get rid of the hardware store turn signals. There are countless better ways to do it. Signed, the modern light police chief.

That's a really nice job of it! I love the gray/black color scheme. And CAS, didn't he mention he had to get the aftermarket 'fogs' mounted? Perhaps he has a set of Unitys to mount. They are aftermarket afterall. Don't get me wrong I don't do plastic lights either.

Love it. Excellent job. Wish my '39 would look that good but then I'd be afraid to drive it like I do Rusty.
