My grill was in a terrible condition, was cracked/missing pieces/ painted with aerosol paint/fiberglass repair.etc etc.. Center piece was loose all the smal ribbons holding it to the grill frame was cracked  Anyway, i tought i would paint it in the original colors but then i started painting  and i want some opinions from you guys. Maybe keep the center black, and the rest chrome.. I also will be swapping the vacum headlight doors for some smal linar DC aculators. |

I think it looks pretty good as well - It will be neat to see how it looks with the chrome headlight buckets.

Thanks for the reply guys..
I will blackout the lower and upper part of the center piece, and then leave it.
It reminds me a little of a challenger grill...

how come asteroids are asteroids and hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids? shouldn't it be the other way around? so instead of being a proctoligist you'd be an astronaut

I just did the same thing with the headlight doors. I ordered the actuators from Godfather customs.
That car is going to be great.

Thanks, i really had to search for the right actuators. I was thinking i could use a doorlock motor, but they only have a 7/8 stroke, and i needed 2" stroke. I found this one http://www.jovac.as/oldweb/index.htm. |

I found the other style that screw up and down( need picture to explain it better ), but the ones I got are from a trunk lock. They get the door to open and close, that is all I was worried about.
I will get some pictures when I get a chance.

When I painted my 68 grille a few years ago, I kicked around the idea of totally blacking out the interior grille pieces. I like the looks of that with just the surrounding silver part to contrast it.  |

Looks new. Looks in great shape. Curious, has anyone ever seen a '68 with the center (black) part of grill painted another color, like royal blue on a black car,?
