RE: Progress of my car

Yeah, I'm with you guys... When I put the 5.3l in my jeep my wife was all "Keep your receipts, you'll wanna know how much it all cost!" and in the back of my head I'm thinking, "No, I don't!"
Man, Blade you are really doing some cool stuff... Say let me run something by you since you have been here for a while... I am thinking of adding some material to the front of the header panel th sort of "drop" the header a little like maybe an inch, just to cover the top say eighth of the Headlights...It'd be along the entire top and would (I think) give it a completely different look.... Not sure what it would look like...What do you think?

Money! HA! I started adding up the cash i've sunk into mine (which is no where near your progress) and decided to burn the receipts so I wouldn't be killed by my wife if she found out!

I think I see your invision on adding the extra material in the front. Are you thinking something like the picture below? Judging from my 2 minute microsoft paint job, I would be more inclined to add 1/2 inch to the bottom and 1/2 inch to the top to "narrow" the amount of grill showing.

yeah, something like that... I'm not sure how it would look.. i kinda like it but then again I like the way they look stock... I don't want to take too much away from the car...I kinda want to keep it looking like stock on the outside, but different in my own way... I'm not sure if I will do it, but it is good to toss around ideas...
