Ok, remember I told you guys I was putting in teeth? Well, without damaging the sheet metal in case I ever sell this thing (at a great loss), they will be able to bring it back to stock. Since the original grille frame is too flimsy to support teeth, I'm building a frame with some flat bar stock. The teeth will be welded onto it. If this looks cool enough I'll have it chromed. Be neat to come up from behind someone on the freeway and they look back and see 'Jaws' from 007, hehe.

Papa,

 . Good luck with your project, can't wait to see the results. Todd |

Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires. No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t. Beauty is skin deep, ugliness goes clear to the bone. |

Hahahaha, that would be hilarious. Actually, they will be long and slender, and sharp, and I'm having it done in aluminum. My friend used the steel as a mock-up. He's already made the frame and I'm waiting for him to round the corners and weld in the teeth, which he's made already. I'm pretty stoked about it. I was hoping it'd be done this weekend, maybe not. I was considering the problem of attaching it to the car, then I figured we could come from the back and tap in some screw holes, which will be behind the teeth and out of sight. I'll post more pics in a few.

Absolutely. You know the ol' lady made me take out the bloody baby doll that was in the grille before she rode in the car. Gak, no sense of humor.
