Customs Kustom grille I built for my shoebox...

Here are some pics of the kustom grille I just finished for my shoebox... 2 1958 Edsel grilles turned sideways and joined together, with gold painted expanded metal centers holding some crazy 1950's drawer pulls I found...

What do you think??

 

This is the car its going in, replacing the "temporary" Desoto grille....

 

I like it

 

Massive creep.

 

Its hard to say without it on the car, but I say go for it, at least it's different.

 

Hey your bumpers fell off! Got to bolt them bad boys down. Kool grill.

 

Think it will mimic the shape of the quad headlights or will it being horizontal throw it off? Hmmm looking forward to seeing it.

s.

 

cool looking grill. i am looking forward to seeing it in the car. are you going to change the opening at all?

 

mocked up sitting on a couple rolls of masking tape....the car is pulled up kinda close to the wall, so i couldn't get as far back as I wanted to snap the pics...

 

That looks awesome. Totally fits the style of your build.

 

I give it a thumbs up! would look better if the outside corners were curved to match their shape.

 

awesome! totally works with the headlights....

 

Looks better than the 54 DeSoto grille for sure. I'm looking for a couple of parking light housings so let me know if you are getting rid of the DeSoto grille.

 

Digness!!!!!

 

I've always thought the Edsel grilles with expanded Metal and bullets or Drawer pulls would look Kool , Great job looks just like 1962 !

 

Great job looks great!

 

Very cool looking, will you be re-contouring the hood and grill opening to match?

 

I'm digging it!

 

I like the use of any Edsel parts on a custom

 

Nice BMW!

Heh! Sorry, just kidding - I really like it. Straight out of the sixties.

 

i think thats sweet!!

 

How'd you ever think of that anyhow? Really looks cool!

 

very cool lookin!

 

Looks Good!!

 

Really like it, whit those headlites you scream 60s! would be intresting to know how did you come up w/ the idea .

 

Bob,I like the restyled front end.Cant wait to see it.

 

Creative solution! I really like it. The shape of the Edsel grille ties the whole front end together with the split bumper and headlights. What's going on with the rear of the car?

More pics when you get a chance, please.

 

Looks real good something driffrent

 

very nice looking, that looks cool as hell

 

love it! are uou going to round the corners by the headlights?
maybe a tiny beak in the center of the hood, like a pontiac... ?
great idea with those edsel pieces.
