That grill came out killer.  :ylsuper: Did you redo the chrome also or is that just a reflection?

Looks great!  Where did you find that beautiful SE finish panel?  Mine is trashed, too far gone to restore.

Todd,,,mine came with the rear panel,,,,it was weathered ( and originally argent ),,,,I removed the anodizing and polished the trim edges and painted the panel with organisol.
They do pop up on eBay at times,,,,,I can keep my eyes open for one for you.
