    Had to snap a pic of a 52 with "teeth" after the ice storm. Without electricity for 45 hours so more cuddling than since honeymoon. Measured a square foot of ice from the shop roof, weighed it, and then calculated there was 130,000#'s (65 tons) of ice on the roof. Many buildings nearby collapsed but I think Morton is from Illinois or someplace that has a lot of snow/ice so it held up.

    a C&C laser could whip up a grill like that. I've been thinking about doing my grill similar to the teeth grill covers that a lot of big rigs have, or like the old WWII airplanes. It's just a want, not a need, so the money will probably be spent elsewhere for now.

    Yep, they're a little over two hours from me in central Illinois.

    Cool picture of the new 'grille' there, Evan!! Thanks for sharing.

    Evan, I've got your solution!

    If you had this, you wouldn't have had your problem.

    Remember this genuine Chevy accessory?

    Thanks for the picture, Evan! I won't complain about the ice around here anymore~ After 5 days, it finally melted yesterday. I am not a fan of that stuff.
