Good news, or a new burner assembly that matches the new valve and now my water heater is back up and running.
AND, I just finished restoring the many section of the grille!. Now just have to finish polishing the trim and reprint the headlight bezels and the grille should be done and then I can move onto another portion of the project!.
I dusted the back of the fins to like factory did to keep it looking "correct"
I've got more pictures of the grille but right now I'm still working on stuff and trying to post all this from my phone which is a slow process. So I'll do more pictures later when I'm home again. So check back in for more updates later. Let me know what you think so far guys?
