I have gotten to a point where I have to put the nose back on the car to do the bondo work up front so I took a break from working over the rest of the car to clean up the bottom of the nose while it is still off the car. Also I had to finish fabricating the grill.
I used some 1/2"x 1/8" hot rolled flat steel to build the perimeter. I then took some 1/4" x  1/4" stainless steel screen and welded it to the back side of the grill surround. Finally I secured it into the opening with some stainless oval head screws.

Haven't been posting because there is not much to see. Just a bunch of bondo work. Most of it is on the floor. Been at it every weekend though. I am not a pro so this will take a good bit longer than most folks here could do. Plus old muscles don't like to block for very long.
