With the suspension having been reworked and the engine bay smoothed out and gleaming, it was time to work the exterior confines. Beginning in the front, the bottom half of a 2600i hood would be smoothed out helping the clean look of the engine bay when open.  The stock headlights would be replaced with a set off of a '72 GMC truck to complete a H-4 conversion. The stock grille would be replaced by a preferred and much needed Trenz polished billet phantom grille.  The front fenders would receive some of Chris's attention with the antenna hole being shaved along with the emblem holes. A Toyota 4-runner bumper would accompany the new grille and front end look. With the bumper being chrome plated, the valance would be painted to match to make sure the mini was not overwhelmed with chrome on the exterior.
