First aeromod for the Celeb - grill block

I made this up last night from a piece of metal siding that was in a dumpster down the road. I folded the edges back 5/8" so it would sit pretty much flush with the rest of the header panel. I transferred the bowtie because I like it. The paint is not an exact match (the cap said it should have been) but it was something I had laying around so this mod was free. I just filled the tank the other day and I gotta go downstate next weekend so lets see how it does. I am keeping a screwdriver and the old grille in the car in case I need it, but Im thinking itll be fine. Considering my 6000 wagon didnt heat up even at 70mph with a snowplow blocking the grille, it breathed from underneath just fine.
