Very interested in that grill! Howd you go about doing that?

Thanks!
I ordered the front clip off of an early 2000’s ranger and with minimal cutting it fit right in. Luckily my dad knew someone who could fabricate a metal channel that we screwed inside of where the stock grille was and it fits perfectly. We had to do a little sanding on the sides but once the car was painted it looked a lot better. The Chevy badge had clips on the back that slotted into where the Ford badge would’ve went but we glued it in place too

Replaced the IROC replicas with 16x7 GTA rims. I have 1.25in spacers in the back

Some recent updates. Planning to finish hoses and lines, and then start pulling the old wires to run new ones within the month.
