My bodys defenses are probably more susceptible to corona virus since I'm smiling ear to ear!

It took about 7 hours total from short block to laps around my hood. I'm really tired today but it made it to work no problems and ill be taking it to run some errands before I go home.

Thank you sir! First startup there was a minor tick on the passenger side and my heart dropped! Shut it off, started it back up and the tick was gone. Must have been a lifter.

Also it survived a 10 minute crawl through a Dunkin Donut drive through so its doing good!

That's a nice size garage.

Thanks its a 26x24 I believe. When I moved from my suburban house in Dallas with a regular 2 car garage to this I felt like it was massive. Now I feel cramped haha. I have several other buildings but they are just simple pole barns and don't have walls yet, mostly used for trailer and 4 wheeler parking as well as material for home projects.

Finally got a HD grill that wasn't broken, 3rd times the charm. Had it sitting for awhile until I got time to cut the frame horns and drop the bumper. That time was this weekend! Wasn't a bad job but it took awhile because this bumper has had a few mild bumps in its life was tweaked and had washers spacing it in several spots. All in all not bad but I didn't take many pictures in progress.

Heres the 2 pics I managed to snap during the frame chopping. And one from today when I had the Hoe pulling support duty as I pulled the dead Walbro 450 out of the race truck. Fork lifts make pulling truck beds so easy

I originally didn't like the chrome strip on the HD grill, but looking at yours I like it. I bought mine out of the jy, unfortunately the chrome was peeling, so I just dipped it.

I think mine would've looked good with the chrome too.

I'm typically not a huge fan of chrome. If it didn't have the chrome ltz 20s and chrome bumpers I would have probably dipped it as well.

Yours looks great and is probably more durable being dipped.

Not sure what to do with my towhook holes now

I've never been a fan of chrome--ever--but that strip just has grown on me. I hate chrome so much, I even dipped my front bumper, and my rear bumper has a Denali cover on it. You could always put another set of fog lights in your old tow hook area. A thinner then stock set.
