Sad to report, not much in the headway department this week. My work schedule got somewhat jumbled, and it hasn't allowed me to do much more than sneak a peek at the car all week I did get home from work today, with just enough light left to be able to pull the dented grille shell and insert. I know where there is a clean, straight and nearly perfect replacement and hope to pull it next weekend (the one I picked up out of the front seat of a wreck turned out to be a 123 shell and insert). I might try to remove the driver's side "B" pillar trim before hitting the rack tonight...maybe.

Hopefully more headway next weekend.

Bman600, I don't know about "tuners", might be some info in the Performance forum. Personally I like the power/feel of stock. Both the 4.5 and 5.6 have sufficient get-up and go for me.
