Well, awright…. That whole experience kinda reminds of marriage vows - "for better or worse, richer or poorer" Not really sure where I landed this time out other than "older and more older", but it's a done deed for now and, like Hank Snow said, "I'm movin' on". Worse case scenario, I can buy another grill someday and leave it alone. Next decision is go with the roll pan and lower scoop or do a Scoop-ish front bumper, or maybe a custom small cactus smasher.. Hmmm.... think I'll go with better, richer and health...…. Oh. and the moths must have got at the SS mesh in the hood scoop. Damn moths, they can be a problem here in beautiful west Michigan.

You been holding out on us Howard? I've never seen the 8 wheel chassis. Takes after the Argo. Real feat of engineering there.

That front end looks great as is. I think I'd have to drive it bumperless, but I bet you come up with a way to make a bumper make it look it even better.

Evolution at a glance. No wonder I feel a year older - I am a year older! Sort of glad it's in the rear view mirror, 'cept I don't have a rear view mirror yet. Maybe this year....
