Re: What did you do today that was flathead V8 related?
Finally got the radiator grille shell on my truck. Had to fight with the stainless steel trim as it had it's own mind made up of a shape different than what I needed, but lots of hand tweaking finally got it nailed down. Then was able to get the NOS radiator grill emblem mounted with the correct cad-plated backing plate and chromium-plated screws. The radiator ornament is re-chromium plated NOS. Nothing fits so nice as original parts!
Now onto the fender skirts and hood.
