I have had Stainless on my Grille for the last 4yrs. It was 26 gauge and showed stone bruises.
American Car Craft, Gary Petterson (Vettman62) made heavier gauge Stainless for the Grille pieces. They are now 20 gauge.
I also added the top bar Stainless.

While I was installing the Grilles, Dick and Jeff Barber installed the great signal light side mirrors and door sound proofing along with the radiator heavy steel frame to replace the plastic. Nice job guys!! I then had the 14" Magnaflow stainless steel muffler and the best SS tips that I have ever seen installed. I think Dick got them from Mike in AZ.

Nice job
I like the big smile on the front too! Nice Dick! Glad you had help, when I put mine on by myself I wished for a helping hand, the 3M adhesive is serious. I also changed out the bowtie for a chrome one.
