So what's with the red grill? gonna do some body panels on the sides? or leaving it open? If you leave it open, I'd paint that grill to match the cage!

[aw12345]

It's staying red, liking it that way, might just get a red hood also. thinking about closing some of the side gaps on the front end with the extruded stuff and paint that silver. Might add a few pieces to the sheetmetal to the side of the grille to blend that in a lil better

[daniel_buck]

Yea, if there were some more panels and a hood, that would look sweet

[aw12345]

This is what I have in mind, paint the corrugated material silver and add the lil filler panel, looks more finished to me. Once I make a hood for it, should be pretty sweet.
