I truly think Steve is slowly trying to work his way up to stealing your "Bling King" tittle Mark. Don't worry he still has a lonnnnng way to go.

When he brings the Bird in for a total reChrome that's when you have to start worrying

Re: Small Grill Mod (part 2)
Does anybody have a 54" piece of 5/8" chrome left over that they would be willing to part with? It will be the last piece on my new project. Pictures to follow.sigpic2002 Black Premium Black Accent

All that extra weight from the blings gives you a more stable sporty ride as well

With all the chrome add-ons available, we may be approaching 1958 Oldsmobile territory.

Re: Small Grill Mod (part 2)
Here is my latest addition to the chrome mods. I also found a photo of a black 1956 T-Bird like Steve did to start all of this with his grill mod. My mod is with the hardtop. It looks like it should have been there from the factory.sigpic2002 Black Premium Black Accent

Re: Small Grill Mod (part 2)
I can't believe you skipped over the 3rd tail light. A nice rim of 1/8 around it would look good too.
Everything else is really very nice. Great job!Last edited by steelblue5505; Apr 24, 2010, 01:02 PM.Mike

Re: Small Grill Mod (part 2)
Mike, I never thought about that. I guess the 56 didn't have it and I never saw it. All of you on the site have a way to take it to the next level. Here is the pict that got me going and one last one from the other side. Windows and base of top was 1/4" and back window was 1/8". The last piece would be on the leading edge of the top which I hoped I could purchase from someone on this site. I hate to by 20' when I only need 54" to 56".

Very tasteful.
Where were the Ford stylists? Sleeping?
So many ways that this car could have been improved.2010 Explorer Limited Edition, tri color white, camel interior

Re: Small Grill Mod (part 2)
It's my understanding that the designers wanted to create a car that would be open to mods by the owner. In today's world aftermarket items and styling changes are huge. I think they hit a home run, but I'm prejudiced of course.Originally posted by jerrym3 View PostComment
