Some time back a member was customizing his nose grill area on his midget. Rounding out the hood, narrowing the grill and doing a very nice job. I can't seem to find that thread now. I wanted to see how it turned out if he had finished it yet or not. If anyone remembers or knows who it is, I would sure like to see how it's going.
Thanks

Was it the guy on the AHExp that was also installing a Nissan engine? He sectioned the front fenders to lower the headlights.

I think it was the midget forum. He had pictures showing how he was welding the nose into a single unit. then cropping the hood back some, rounding the corners. shrinking the grill area, yet maintaining the original shape. He had very good welding skills. My thinking was it was going to very sharp when done.
