Default 1970 grill on a 4th gen...
Anybody remember a while ago somebody posted pics of a dark blue 4th gen that somebody molded a 1970 grill into? It didn't look all that great, but his craftmanship was excellent. I have spent the better part of my morning searching for it and can't find it anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

Well, it's definetly different! I'm not going to knock it, cause I'm sure a lot of work went into it. I bet it would grow on you if it were something that the General produced....

Maybe if it wasn't so tall. Looks like the bumper was stretched around it, pull it out and it'll go back to original. lol. but I think if you cut like the bottom row, or bottom two, it might beable to look good. And definatly something behind it, or atleast some paint.

agreed!! if it was a bit smaller and the bottom lip of that bumper wasnt that thin looking it would be pretty sweet.
