Greg, so cool! Is the front splash apron shaped like the top of the grill opening? Hard to tell from the pics. Either way it is cool to see a splash apron on a highboy. Are you going to blacken the inside part of the lower grill shell so the whole thing is black inside? Like the "WELD EDITION" headlight spreader bar as well. Really cool stuff going on.

Thanks Carter!

Hope the software is going well for you!

Yeah -- the apron -- or as some around here call it "the cow catcher" does mimic the shape of the grill. It really helped the front end "in my eye". And as I keep reminding the shop -- we have to have some "Frisbee" touches or it's just another plastic '32 Ford. LOL

I asked them to make the spreader mimic these shapes as well... not just straight across.

ALL of the radiator - the lower close out panel (or whatever it's called in a '32) and the cross bars in the grill will be blacked out. So anything that's behind the vertical grill bars will be black.
