20" American Eagle bumper



Dropped BowTie painted visor - painted mirror brackets



Custom made Mafia full fender (basically 2 of the half fenders welded together and painted blue)

Horns shaved off roof, replaced with 2 extra marker lights

Some possibilities for other changes that will be explored if money allows:

-Ghost flames
-Painted Tanks
-Exhaust pipes
-Painted wheels
This is going to be one sweet Pete. How long are they going to have it? Post your pics the same day you get it out? What color are you painting the grill frame?

As do I. I am really curious how it will look as a full fender. I'm considering doing something with a 2-tone on the fenders. Maybe some white trim along the edge of all the fenders.

Have you played around with the headlights at all Rev?
I'm wondering what they might look like if the light appeared to set back a little in the casement (for lack of a better word). Or something along the lines of an eyebrow, molded and painted to appear as one unit.
Here's what the headlights look like on a 41 Chevy Master:


I might have them set into the fender a bit more than that, though. Basically create a recess in the fender where the headlight tucks into.

They were estimating 9 days for the whole job. the grill frame will be the same white as the hood. As soon as I get my camera cable, I'll upload some before pics.

I managed 11 years before I hit my first deer. I'll take those odds, especially since I spent the first 6 years in the heart of deer country.

Those are good odds and some times you dont hit the deer, the deer hits you. I'm pulling a hood and bumper Monday where one hit right front bumper, it was drivers first time, he was shaken up pretty bad. I just laughed at him, and told him to calm down. Nobody got hurt and maybe Bambi had a death wish.

Thats pretty much what happened to me. She turned around and clipped my corner on the front drivers side.
