Time to deal
with the front end. I had to reduce its height to fit the rake end, or
else the bumper would be sitting too low at the front. So I separated
the
bumper and the grille, meanwhile trimming off one row of grille due to
cutting (and on purpose too).
Playing around,
I held the grille upside down and- yes! That was how I would do it!
I trimmed the
inclined sides of the grille to fit within the front of the body and
temporarily
glued the new grille to the hood for templating as I worked with the
rest
of the front end.
Now the original
bumper looked very strange with the new grille and looking for some
suitable
below-grille part, I came across this Thunderbird custom grille. Looked
convincing for some butcher act!
