    As I am awaiting a call from the body shop and arrival of my AFR Cuda Grill...
    Today I began the grill conversion process.

    I removed the badges on the grill; I repainted the "SRT" badge in GWE, and clearcoated.
    Then I cleaned up the lower grill, and mounted the "SRT" badge down there.

    So, here she is after the transformation...including lower air dam and Cuda grille inserts painted body color.

    Nice job, I really like the AFR 'Cuda front grill. Among all others I have seen, it most closely resembles the original 1971 'Cuda grill.
