    I like the toothy smile. Did you get your cooling problems sorted out?

    No not yet, I wanted to get all the grille metal in place then build an air dam behind it to route air into the radiator.

    I like the concept, shape and teeth but think the opening needs a radiused lip around it.
    Just a thought.

    What type & year are the guards great idea. How about rounding the hood corners for even a smoother look Danny.

    Not sure the year, but they are just basic bug guards.
