I was always thinking when I got around to it I'd need to replace my grill for the 58GMC I'm restoring. Then Robert (MP&C) showed us a thing or two about metal fabbing and I got inspired to give it a go.

I needed a missing mounting bracket for the grill and figured since its mostly hidden anyway it was the ideal piece to work on.
So here's a link to the pic's showing some before and after shots up to now.

warning: recycled computer cases as opposed to vendor purchased items are involved.

Thanks guy's, I tried a couple using Aluminum but didn't like the finish at all.
Now if my Epoxy Part B will just arrive I can get going on priming it so I can rivet it back together. Unfortunately it takes a week to get here from Georgia, but on the other hand the shipping is free so I won't complain to much.
