That's cool to me because that's what I did on my '70 Duster that was my daily driver back in the mid-80s. The car was a mechanical beast but a rat on the interior and body...
That's pretty cool, i remember seeing that picture when I was looking for ideas on what to do with the grille (or maybe when I was looking for driving lights)
Either way, it was one of the pictures that helped me decide to get the valiant grille and paint it like that
