Verrrrrrrrrry nice looking!

And am I seeing things, or did you figure out a way to make the 3-blade grill sit flush with the hood? Normally, the edges stick out...

Thank you!

It's sits fairly well into the hood; if anything, the edges might be out a millimeter or two. I'll post a few more photos when I get a chance.

Very nice work, & the drive way the car is sitting on is impressive also. You have impeccable taste.
