    Well I pretty much finished my grille. It still needs a little final work before the car is ready for paint, but the whole car is that way so its no biggie for the time being. Enjoy the pics!

    Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
    In my humble opinion you need to look into the possibility of radiusing the corners of the hood, before you get to final paint.

    New grill looks great.

    I feel like a jerk telling people what to do with their cars, but have you thought about rounding the front corners of the hood? I think it would really complement the grill and the grill opening.

    What color(s) are you thinking about when it comes time for paint?

    Not sure on the final color. And I do plan on rounding the hood corners. I think it would look good.

    Looks really nice man! I wonder how it would look the outer, lower sides/corners of the outer grille teeth rounded to match the curve of the opening. just a thought, either way, nice nice work!
     
  12. Looks really good, looking forward to seeing it painted. Nice job.
