modifying the front end for some serious 'Überholprestige'
the modest original Ford grill all bent and dented and, well, much too original
and the multi-million dollar look with the Packard Clipper chrome cathedral of a grill
with room enough for the salvaged Caprice radiator
once the decision was made, it was time again to cut some historic sheet metal
shaping the upper lip out of what? - yeah - another old laundry drying rack is put to good custom use
adding a two inch lip to the hood
before drowning everything in smelly bondo again
spray on some rust effect paint and wait for the surprise the next day
before and after shot of the hood (rollover)
perfectly rusty
more parts getting the rust treatment in preparation of the first show end of September
lots more cool details as we go
