TADA!

The center spine on the grill was something I really wanted to add. I liked the grill as is but knew that a center spine would legitimize it. I thought about it for a day and then remembered something when I was in PEP Boys. I saw one of those huge CB antennas and thought hell I have a grinder wheel at home, JB Weld, and a hacksaw. I took the CT Antenna measured it so that it would fit only if I had to force it in with force. I then made my bends using a C clamp. I used the grinding wheel to taper the edges and then I applied the spine which snaps in very securely. I then finished it off with some Liquid Steel just on the top near the welds.

Rock solid and makes the grill look 100% better IMO.
