Default Fabrication lite-a new Wagoneer Look

Nothing too spectaclar as far as fabrication goes, but I thought it came out good and others might find it interesting.

I had picked up an 88 Wagoneer front end for my 96. The grill on the Wagoneer was toast so I had to figure out what to fill it in with. I ended up cutting out all the inner plastic and using some rolled and creased stretch-steel to make the insert.
Everything was set with stainless hardware and painted gloss black (which now makes everything elses look like crap).
Looks like I will be painting the bumper next.



Close up view.

Yeah, I might take it off the Jeep logo and center it as it bugs me a bit too; I'm still working that out.
I am also considering moving the Hella's either behind the stretch-steel for a littel more protection, or actually doing a round cut-out in the grill and having them flush with the grill.
