Perfect example of why you strip a car 100% before starting any repair work :2cents:

I agree, out of sight out of mind doesn't really work long term. Nothing too surprising under the hood.

As a few of you suggested, I've decided to build this car the way I REALLY want it. So, here is what just came in the mail this week. :)

It would be a Metro grill, the same ones BE&A sell as well as Dave at Roseville. It's the 70 grills that BE&A have they hand in manufacturing, not the 71 grills.

Thanks. :) Looking forward to getting this on the road. My goal is to be driving it this summer. While the car is getting painted i'll be assembling the rest of the motor so I can just drop it all in once the car comes home again. Hopefully it should be quick and painless.
