why do people help make old cars look bad

If I put a 73-74 grill in my 75 Scamp (which will if I don’t swap my 67 valiant front end on it) I’m gonna paint it to match this Duster grill.

That looks really good. That's is nicely done and it's all black. It has the silver highlights it looks great probably better that the original lol. I'm actually considering putting a 74 grille in my dart and doing the same have the silver highlight stripes with he flat black around it. But idk yet that's a ways off to worry about now. Lol

I agree, that looks really good!
 
Nothing wrong with black grilles are painted bumpers. It’s all personal taste and budgets, maybe some people hatred of polishing chrome

Not real big fan of chrome myself. De-badged my Ranchero when I had it painted. Even my old man the lakester racer thought it was a good move. The Hemi Express is devoid of chrome also :D aside from very few emblems that break up all that black just enough.
 
I just went for a cleaner look, I don’t mind polishing something different and painted the parkers orange just to break it up . It’s not for everyone.

That car looks the part, and it works with all the modification you've done. If it were a stock 67, I'm not sure it would work. My '67 came with a blacked out '68 grille, it didn't look right with the chrome bumper. Looks better up on the wall.
 
yea lets be cool DUDE!!!!! and black out the grille and bumper for a high performance look

high performance look that doesn't in fact look very good at all

Seriously, why do people take an old tired car and do something dumb to it to make it look worse than it already did.

MEMO: blacked out grilles are NOT cool people, it just makes the car look like it's missing the grille from far and looks really bad.

Thanks to @Dartn440 ...I will be fixin this real soon. I have another grille to clean up and change the look :)
