Normaly the grill mounts to the radiator, are you running a different radiator like a mustang or something?

was thinking of making it a reserve gas tank actually in the shell. so i could freak out the old guys at the pumps by putting gas in it.

Ok........I have been watching this build and I like most of what I see. But ( you knew this was coming ) spindle mounts front wheels means no front brakes!!! :o   And the rear brakes are hooked to slicks. You will also have front tire scuffing when turning with the front mount tie rod but that not that a big deal. Just will have to buy tires more offten.  ;)
 
Now if your going to use it for drag racing only ( in my best Lily Tomlin voice ) " never mind " ???
