New grille on my 1992 Burburban 454BB

[lat42MS]

About a month ago I decided to get a rig to tow my VR4 to the NG and to some tracks in the area.

I got a 1992 Suburban 2500, 2wd with a 454 - great shape, no rust, 117k. I practically stole it for a little over a grand.

I quickly finished all the basic maintenance and turned my attention towards the flaking chrome grille. I was looking for a 94-98 GMC conversion, but after a day of junkyard scouring I settled on a good condition 92 GMC grille for $50.

Without further adieu, the pictures:

The junkyard grille was a little cracked and beat, but 5 hours of prep work and I had it ready for paint.

Couple coat of clear and voila!

thanks guys! It's gunna look good with a matching red VR4 behind it. I'm hoping to have 33" BFG all terrains and a header back exhaust by the time NG rolls around.
