surprised myself

Grill (3).JPG
I was bored tonight and looking at my spare grill and how one headlight bezel was hit and pushed in about 1/2" inch. I was going to throw it away but thought I'd give it a try and pound it out It actually turned out a lot nicer than I thought. This is just the initial pound out as now I plan on total restore polish. Will never be show quality but definitely driver quality. Website not letting me load the pics Will later.

Initial fit test. With all of the pounding a straitening on this I wanted to make sure it fits.

Also a PO had taken a screwdriver and tried to push it out from the inside so the inside looks like graded chesse.
