First of all John, it is a vintage all glass front end, just the way it was in '70. The "RS" nose illusion is created by pinstriping. It is not a seperate piece. The picture you're looking at has an odd perspective. The grill surround is much deeper than it appears. Thanks for your small observation. By the way, you should have seen his smile when he had Linda Vaughn leaning against the car for a picture.

Thanks for filling me in Mike,I knew something just didn't quite look right but couldn't put my finger on it.

I bet Linda Vaughn made Grumpy smile...

My 70 Gibb car has standard glass front end and RS bumpers on it. That's the way it was built and raced.

Beautiful car, Mike, it looks like a great restoration! That's awesome having the heads on it that the Grump ran!
Thanks for sharing, will you bring it to SCR9?
