1932 Ford "Winter" Grille

I recently saw the one by Alumacraft. HRP

 

Great
Now everyone can have one !

 

Here is an original 1932 Pines Winterfront. This is my sons 1931 Hemi Roadster build.
**Special Thanks to H.A.M.B. member Kiwi Tinbender for his help with making the missing louver!

 

No problem Mo- it was fun to do. Only thing is, I don`t have my fixtures or measurements any more. So I can`t make batches of these for all you hooligans. At least not for the budget that Clark has...

 

Maybe so,but at the price for a reproduction they are nearing what a original Pines would cost. HRP

 

What are the repops going to cost?

 

Pretty pricey Mark. HRP

Front polished ...$ 2495.00

Fully polished ... $ 2995.00

Chrome platted ... $3295.00

 

Still cheaper than originals.

 

The card in the photo says" being judged for new product of the year".
It looks pretty good until you look at the cheesy way the crank hole cover was done.
I don't know if the production part will look any better but you know what they say about first impressions.

 

Having had 2 nice 32 winter fronts I studied the fo 32 winter front in Louisville last month and thought it to be a bit crude. Another company from I think Idaho had one at the LARS show year before this one and it was nicer. Still nothing beats an original

 

Well, at $2500 and up, maybe I had better start back in then......




I`m currently free between Midnight and 5am......

 

The grill teeth on the one I saw on display in the new products area at the Nationals this year were fixed and did not move at all.
Maybe it was because it was the static display one and they didn't want guys like me playing with it. Like the 25 louver hoods, they are a bit over rated
