    OK, I'll play...mine is made from grille mesh from a Kenworth truck that I found in a dumpster. (No, I didn't find the whole truck.)
    It's still a little rough, as I haven't got around to welding each individual wire to the frame. Also, there is no longer an Isuzu badge on the stock grille, thanks to Raque Thomas, it now has a VXR badge in it's place. (No pics of that yet) The skull badge is an ignition cover from a Harley sumthinorother.

    Quite a unique look LDUB, is that one of the magnetic bras on the front?

    On the topic, anyone have any ideas what can be done about the grey hood insert? mine is beginning to fade/splotch and I can't seem to clean it up.

    Nope, that's plast-kote spray on bedliner (available in the walmart automotive section) I used my Isuzu bra as a pattern.

    For the hood insert, sand it all down, & hit it with primer & paint of your choice.

    I designed a new badge in CAD to fit inside the ISUZU spot but haven't applied it to the aluminum sheet I am using yet. It merely says ZEUS since that is what I call my VX. Pics when done!

    All that bulldog needs is, three pipes behind each front tire, spitting blue flames

    So it's true after all...great minds think in like direction (LOL)
    I've been thinking about duals exiting just in front of the rear wheels. I'll have to investigate the belly of the beast further when the weather warms up. (think March/April) There might be just enough room for a pipe between the end of the rock slider & the rear tire. Keeping it all tucked up, out of harms way, & not toasting the floorboards would be a challenge.
    Also would need to fab up some no claddy melty heat shield thingys.(industry terms)
