i had Zack tin out and polish my grill, but i havnt figured out how to make the bends in the exentions, any tips

 

[65NUTCASE]

Take your time the biggest thing is the bends in the pieces you cut out. They are more agressive out by the headlights cuz you have to get the width the same as the headlight bezel. The other end is wider where it meets the grill. Once you get that your good it will tell you what it needs.. Time and patience... I ruined 3 grills by not paying attention ! That gets expensive. Thanks for all the great comments guys searously I was ready to bail but you guys kept me in the game THANKS A MILLION "PAT "

Shakedown run happen today Got 20 miles on it no problems got a little warm just not quite 200 but I think it's a timing issue. Drives like an old car. Now it's time to clean it up and drive it .

 

[khryslerkid]

That's great to hear!
Wish I was as far along as you on your build. It really looks great. These builds don't happen overnight do they, lol
Enjoy

Sound good 20 miles and nothing fell of or broke good job. I have about 100 miles on the dart and no real issues. Feels good after all the hard work on the cars. Now lets put some miles on them!

Last of the trim is on it's gonna figure out why it's running to 200
