The shape of it seems like a continuation of the fenders & hood and the color change disrupts the flow of the body lines. I do like the chrome trim on a body-colored grill though. I think the black running boards will be great and practical if they are black rubber. Again, I think you're doing great work on the car. We all have different tastes and opinions on the details and I certainly don't mean to be offensive with mine. There are many things that look good on a new Charger that won't look good on a 36 Ford. Looking forward to seeing the completed car! ;-)
I take no offense at all. It wouldn't be fun if we all had the same likes and dislikes. And it is good to have other people give suggestions. Helps me think of things I may not have on my own. I never liked the grills chromed on the 36 either.
