I have been working on the grille shell today, and I was wanting something a bit more aggressive like the 60's Ferrari.. Just a slight pitch out on the top, nothing Too Dramatic. I ordered another grille shell before I even started cutting because i wanted to make sure I could get another if this went bad.. I do like it, but I am not absolutely sold on it yet...

Another problem I ran into, is my Chrome Grille is actually Solid Brass.. I started cutting and WTF, I really thought I was in trouble now.. I think I worked out a solution that will work just fine.

Here is what I did..

The Factory mounting before blending and pitching.

After the Pitching and the Masking Tape Blending.. ha ha

The process (which is not done yet, incase I dont like it Tomorrow) You can see how much was added and what exactly has changed.. I am still running the factory grille, so the over all shell didnt change that much.
