an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

They can be used on the 3100 grille frame for replacements. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | The hoods, grilles, fenders...they're all bigger. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 102 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 102 | HighSchool hauler, aren't you glad we cleared that up?
