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
