[QUOTE="1967eleanor, post: 13442409, member: 32170"] This weekend represented the 4th year of the car's first show/public appearance, the Adirondack nationals. Being that I was putting the car in the actual show I decided I needed to address another thing on my to-do list. I needed something to cover up the gap from the grille to the radiator support. It kinda took away from the motor. some old pictures to show what I mean. [IMG]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2321/d4d9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/9009/32jx.jpg[/IMG] so I decided to make a cover out of some 18ga sheet metal. Playing around with some tape to figure out what contour would look good and still clear everything. [IMG]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4096/f9yc.jpg[/IMG] Eventually I may make a piece to go over the radiator so I decided to raise the cover compared to the actual rad support since lowering the radiator isnt an option. [IMG]http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8130/1j1i.jpg[/IMG] then added a strip along the top to cover it, in addition to closing the gap between the radiator and the cover.To finish it off a beadrolled a design in the center that breaks it up and follows the angles of the front nose.
