Jeep Icon is primed

Of all the body parts on the Willys Jeep, nothing is more associated with the look of a Jeep than the Grille.

I have met folks who collect these, the grilles. They have evolved quite a bit and you can notice the differences to the well trained eye. Of the 3 I have, this one has a slight variation. An intake box inside the grille on the driver's side.

This concludes the restoration of the major front end body parts. The grille, the fenders, hood are all ready to be painted. Getting nervous, I want this to come out nice.

I am far from getting the body work done, but this could be considered a milestone. The angle grinder's contribution will be less now that these parts have been cleaned and primed.
