Hot Rods Should I change the grill on my '29?

Keep the '28/29 grille, maybe get a stock-sized one? The one on there looks a little too small. Here are pics of my old '30 with both...the '32 shell should've been sectioned but I liked the other one so much, I just ditched it.

Not sure why the mirror became such an issue...cool car.

 

I would keep the A grill just to be different than everyone else.

 

Duece grill way over done. There are more duece grills on Model As now then there were ever Dueces produced.

if i had to come up with something different and stay Ford I'd be looking at a model 40 grill. But its all a matter of personal preference I guess.

 

FWIW...

I dig the 32 shell's...

 

Keep the A grille lose the mirror and the hideous blower scoop. MHO

Keep the grill, lose the mirror

 

keep the model a shell, it looks great the way it is

 

I'd like to see more pics of the car

 

'30/31 grill

 

keep the grill

 

The scoop is farther down the list of things I'll be changing. Like I said in an earlier post, I'm still trying to find something for a four barrel carb that looks cool, otherwise I'll start saving up for a multi-carb setup somewhere down the road.

I bought it a few years ago from a guy who built it back in the 70's (he said I was the first person other than him to drive it in about 25 years), so it had huge 15x12 wheels on the back, weird low-profile radial tires on the front with some disc brakes from a Volkswagen or something. The engine's a pretty nice 327 SBC...

I'm just glad I didn't post a picture of the STEERING WHEEL

 

I'm gonna throw my two cents worth in for what it's worth.

I'm with the majority about the 28/29 shell,,,keep it,,or paint it yellow like the rest of the car.

Throw the mirror away and PLEASE get rid of the gay etched gl***

BTW,,I like the tall unchopped look of the stock windshield. HRP

 

There are also more Dueces now then were ever originally produced, but I think that's a good thing, I agree with the model 40 grill, that would look nice and be different, good idea!

Leave it alone! I've got a 32 grille on my 29 but it came with the package I bought, I may still change it for a 29 grille, but now pork&****** has me thinkin, if I don't stop changing **** I'll never get it done!!!

 

how about a track nose?

 

Like he said!

Only a true "rebel bad ***" could pull off running a mirror like that! Ditch the grill and get in line with the deuce grill shell zombies rodder boy!

 

Grill looks good,cut windshield down some,and can those dumb *** header dumpps

 

A grills Rock , nice car .

 

Keep it. You simply can't improve perfection.

 

Keep the grille.Nice car!

 

I'm really partial to the deuce shell. It's traditional on '29's and goes wayy back.
Having said that, there isn't a day goes by that I don't look at my car and wonder what it would look like with a stock shell on it. Ala Tony Nancy.
Hell, I can't make up my mind! How am I gonna make up yours!?!
BTW, I think 2" out of the windshield would look better.

 

i'd personally would just lose the mirror

 

If you DO put a deuce grille on it.... it REALLY should be chrome plated....

 

I'd go with a weber.

 

I'd go with a '70 olds grille.

 

The sectioned 'A' grille you have now doesn't look quite right. If the car had a stock height 'A' grille I'd say keep it.

Otherwise I'd say run a Deuce shell. If you want one, then run one.

 

32 all the way... Brians Roadster is a good example..

To me it finishes the car when its all painted,,,the lines flow better... the chrome shell is cool but it it looks off..thats just my opinion...

 

Evel, You have a good point!
