    I could mail you one if you would make copies of it. I guarantee it would be a big seller!!!

    I would want a little discount on the prototype, of course!!! :D

    Even if it wasn't perfect the first time around

    Seriously, though...PM me if you want a blank to work with. It will have the light cutouts, like the 73+, but the rest is exactly the same as the earlier ones. I would IMMEDIATELY buy one without the light holes... Even if it wasn't chromed yet.

    Actually, if it is only a weekend project, I would even drive up there and bring it in person, and help in any way I could (you are right near Wichita Falls, aren't you...? I lived there for a few years during grad school.)

    A PM has been sent...

    Wish us (HIM) luck. We just might have decent grills in our near future :clap:

    Kinda far? I used to do it weekly back when the speed limit was 55mph. Surfside TX to Wichita Falls, me in the 280Z, the wife in a Mazda 626 (both early 80s models!!!). Just about 12 hours :yikes:

    I could do it again if I need to. I would love to help out if there is anything I could do.

    Hell, my mom and dad used to drive my dad's '71 Comet back and forth from Atlanta to Indianapolis on a weekly basis in the mid 80's. They would go up to Indianapolis on a Friday night and come back on Sunday night. :)
