I got it running again.. just not well. I can go out and start it, she just runs like ass. And I was going to just paint the "outer edge" of the grill white and the rest black, but I oversprayed a bit and here we are. Just experminting a bit but still

The V-8 badges suck (looks like pieces that are from a salvage car stuck on for a car they don't belong on).The black grille looks like it belongs on a black car.Go chrome or white.Last but not least (for now),I saw a Fila driving the oppisite direction of me on the interstae going to Oklahoma City today.Not in bad shape either.They're still out there.How's the car running?

Mine... like shiznit. Due for a new timing chain as soon as I get one. Off the grill comes and the stock goes back on. Would it change any if I were to paint it flack black or just wait till the gar gets painted and do the new grill body color like the stock one?

Body Color FTW! Black looks way out of place. Looks good the way it is.

Tape off the center paint and paint the edges all white then put it back on and see would kind of match more with the headlights.

Ok so from all this we learned that black is on for the "inner" grill but the outer MUST be body color. And That I have ugly feet. Fair enough the stock goes back on in a bit
