Street Cruser
Made the trim to surround the front grill and headlights. Used aluminum angle stock from Lowes, heated it with a torch to get soft enough for bending and then braised the ends together using a propane torch and aluminum brazing rods. Practiced some new skills on this project.
Some of my goals on this project were:
1) maintain the OE shape-size-attachment points to make it easy to return to the stock grill surrounds
2) utilize qual head lights with one opening being a cold air intake
3) the change is to have a positive effect on the front end aerodynamics and remove weight.
4) have the new front end look like something that Chrysler/Plymouth could have done back in 1968
The 1967 Dodge Coronet grill insert and head light surrounds have not been cleaned or re painted. That will happen with warmer spring weather. That gives me time to decide to: black the grill and bezels, or make them all shiny, or a combination of both.
