Anyone fab up a filler panel to cover between the grille support and radiator core support for a 68 GTX? I would like to smooth out the looks in this area. I suck at fabricating, but can make a mean cardboard template!!
 
Years ago I knew a guy who would make the cardboard template in place, mask the area around it them 'glass over the template. Once cured he'd trim it, fill and work the pretty side and sand the cardboard off the underside. Done !

I've done some sheet metal work but I'm still an amature.....it takes a lot of practice.

I may try this. I did a full center console for a Camaro and turned out nice. Time to order more parts for the cardboard!!
