    well heres the finished product. I didnt get much responce from the progress pics, so please let me know what you think, it took me all afternoon to make.

    Also the skull is a hitch cover, I welded a plate on behind it and drilled some holes in it so I can swap it for what ever hitch cover I want.......Yes I will have a nice big blue FORD cover as well as my skull hehehe

    Can't say the skull is my type of thing, but the grill looks cool. Good job! :clap:

    Similar opinion here. I don't realy care for it to be honest. but if you like it that's all that matters.

    I like it, we have the same skull on the receiver on our 60 F100, looks really cool when you get the lights hooked up

    Your grille makes me smile. It's creative and different. The skull isn't what I would put on my grille, but thank goodness some of us march to a different drummer. Your effort is reminiscent of the "beat" look (as in beatnik) that is so hot in some pockets of the hot rod / kustom kar kulture which worships Ed Roth, Von Dutch and Robert Williams. If you're not familiar with these, check 'em out on the web. They were a cool part of our car history. John B.

    Cool ... and I like the Skull! .... my 4 year old son does too! :) It would have been cool to put some round Mustang style sport lights in the grill as well ..

    Personally, I like the skull. I've always been into metal/hardrock, and my friend for years had a raised bronco with a skull and cross bones flag draped in the rear window, metal stickers all over the windows, and several plastic/plaster whatever, skulls glued to his dash. Was pretty cool. Granted, If it was my bronco, I wouldn't have done that, but I thought it always looked pretty tough. At a certain point you may get sick of it and move on, but for now, enjoy!!

    How about a little contrast. Keep the skull but paint your car pink. :D

    I like the idea of being able to switch out the center for a Ford emblem, skull or whatever. Nice job!
    Looks great keep up the creativity.
