[Basket case]

everywhere I look on the net I see that grill.............:grin:

 

[moparstuart]

I actually got my grille shell today and mated it with the duel winged 31 nash emblem

I would like to find some really stiff chrome woven mesh to make the grill out of but i'm still open to grill material I need to think on it for a while

 

[Ron 73]

If you decide on the chrome or stainless mesh grill, Check this out Stuart.. Might find something to help..

has a brand new 350 chevy motor in it but i'm going with a 392 50's era Hemi . As soon as i find one .



what do you guys think ?? am i crazy , mid life crisis ? :headbang:

I did the same thing only I did a 40 ford with a 392 hemi since 40 fords to me is a great car to build as a hotrod and I love the old hemi as well. Midlife crisis no just the love of cars. couple of pics on my 40.

 

[moparstuart]

mar for now yes i am thinking i will leave the grill as is

but i will have a couple big cracks welded up and then refinish that area in grey

my buddy dave ( basketcase ) may have some scrap mesh material at work
so i may paint the grille mesh checkered black and white or all red to match the wheels or maybe black and red checkered ???

 

[Ron 73]

Black and red checkered sounds good, When thinking of the chrome mesh i was thinking then that black and white checkered emblem sitting in the middle of the grill would look real good to. Im sure it will look good with what you have planned though, your others seem to make the smile appear when looking at the girl on the wing, well, i mean looking at them, the cars.

That new grill shell looks at home in there...LOL...

i'm not picturing that ? do you have an example ?

 

[Budnicks]

Not really, any metal supply shop, will have expanded metal, in Stainless, mild steel or even aluminum, you can get it in various sizes & thicknesses, even at places like Orchard Supply or Even at Tractor Supply, they both usually stock various forms of it, at least at our local stores they do... I will look & see if I can find a photo to post somewhere...
