I'm going to tread lightly here Mike . I love the progress so far .
My suggestion. The grille surround needs to be black and the grille center itself maybe Body color to break it up still .
Again just an opinion .
You're treadin lightly why?...Cause you're afraid that I'll rear up and spit fire at you like I do with Nick? Nick gets fire spit on him because he's from Iowa, and we have this sort of weird "cousin from Iowa kinship". That plus he's been a loyal contributor of the "every suggestion that I've never taken" club, So that makes him special.

I kinda think that the headlight surround would look good in black. Time for some photoshop maybe?

Mike how's the finger doin? Looks like the paints almost done is it completely buffed out? I agree with Jeff that black will make it look good maybe a grille surround like @RaggedGT put up but make the chrome a body color that way it looks like it's floating in the front. It would be hard though to see since the radiator is still bright silver either way really loving the progress! Keep up the hard you old retired fart
The finger is healing now that it isn't trying to grow over thread. The car isn't buffed at all except the trunk, and I'm still not done there, I am not retired. I'm a Genius.
I think it looks alright like it sits. I know to balance with the rear that you might think a chrome/silver trim might fit in.
What's next though? Chrome trim on the nostrils?
Put the little tornado in the grill first and see how that tickles you. I like that idea.
**DING!! you get the cookie. I'm trying to find new 1970 Cyclone quarter panel script, and that will be the offset the grille needs to balance it with the "shiny" that's on the rear. Unless it's just Gigantic, that is what I plan to buy. I'm also taking Raggedy's suggestion, and putting a 1/2" wide piece of 1/8" thick piece of aluminum across the center rib to intersect that script that'll sit on the right side as you look at it.
Tornadoes are for Chevys Dave
Cyclone, that's what I was thinking.
I live in Oklahoma, tornadoes happen.
If I could find a really good example of a tornado/cyclone in chrome, I'd consider that too,..but it's not like there is a chrome tornado emblem at AZ out there sitting next to the skulls, and dragons in the redneck/illegal alien department.
As always gentlemen,...I put this out there expecting you to comment. MOF I'm pi ssed when you don't. So don't be afraid to comment or make suggestions,...especially when I ask for it. Raggedy Chris is proof that I do consider, and accept outside ideas. Worse that could happen is a smart assed reply when you've decided that what I've done isn't up to my standard, (like the old center spar that was a shelf standard that Old blue pointed out), or like the upside down bolts/nuts that are buggin Iowa
I changed the center spar,....the nuts are stayin. They may get painted orange though.
The cut out rear center where light shines through is a raggedy Idea.
The branded door panel is a raggedy idea. ( I haven't done it, but I think it'd be kinda cool)
The current scoop over the old scoop belongs to several people
The current G gill over one of the previous versions belongs to several people as well.
