Severus, did you re-route your exhaust pipe forward of the rear tire?

@SORTIE

This muffler guy in town did it for me. He's now deceased (old age). He insisted on that hangar at the tip, but his particular setup makes the cab reverb a lot.

Its basically got a straight pipe from the turbo, but I do have a performance muffler on there. Can't think of the brand name at the moment...

Wow...that's a beauty! She turned out quite well. How did you manage to get the bumper cover and side trim that nice? Are they new?

Thanks for the kind words too!

Where did you purchase the new grille and headlight rings? They look real nice!

I got the rings on eBay, but Parts Geek has them too.

And the grille is on eBay.

If you do get this grille, here are my tips.

Be very careful removing all of the plastic clips for the screws from the old grille. They tend to break if they're old.

Run all of the screws down very slowly and evenly. The grille will go all the way down on the top (near the fan shroud and what not), but just take it easy screwing it down. You'll see what I mean when you do it.

You'll have two extra screws that you don't need to use. Just keep those in a safe place.

You can still get new front parking lamps too. The clear ones. Just don't get the ones by DEPO. The bulb will not lock into those ones properly. They are not manufactured right. Go with a different brand if you replace those.

Not exactly sure what I'm looking at...did you block off the center portion of the headlights just for the picture?
