Good Morning All,

The Rear Corner is on for the Final Time.
I know -- ignore the Clear Taillights please.

We needed to find a very low profile License Plate Frame.
So a Quick call to the Guy's at Billet Specialties.

Lots of 'em... what are you looking to do? Ratchet, reverse pattern, ?

Or, are you looking for something stockish?

At least 2 of your sponsors (B&M, Billet Specialties) would be good places to start...

05-19-09 Update - Mesh Grille

Good Afternoon,

I've had many question about the mesh grille and how it was built.
So today's post is about the grille.

Way back when, Kenny had the grille 3D scanned and from that Wood Bucks were made.

The Mesh was cut and the laid on top of the wood form.
Then all you do is gentle hammer the mesh around the wood buck.

Trim the excess material and you end up with something that looks like this.
It's hard to tell from the picture but the mesh is in the same shape as the factory grille

Cut out the old grille

Here is how the grille looks installed in the truck.

Another close up to show how it lines up.

Do they mount in the stock mount without modifications

if you can post some links or pics that would be great.
