wheres the build up of the grill, quit being stingy with the info :rofl: I've been wanting to make my own for a while but still havn't come up with a plan of how to approach it
haha i forgot to take pics. all i did was cut the bars of the old grill out and left 3 of the 6 mounting locations (2 of them i accidentally broke off) and then bought some metal mesh from home depot and cut to size and screwed it on

I've got some pics of my grille in my thread here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=17740 Hopefully 1979ratrod doesn't mind me droppong a link in his thread.

Looking forward to seeing how the paint comes out. The only thing about your grille is from a distance it almost doesn't look like it's there, but it gives me something to think about. I've been thinkning about blacking mine out too.
no lie thats the reason i did my grill like that was cuz it looked so good on your car
